December 11, 2017<\/span><\/span>\u00a0(Los Angeles, Calif.)\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios is proud to present a new look at\u00a0MECH CADET YU #5<\/strong>, kicking off a new story arc from the superstar dream team of writer Greg Pak (Hulk, Weapon X<\/em>) and artist Takeshi Miyazawa (Ms. Marvel, Runaways<\/em>) on\u00a0January 3rd, 2018<\/span><\/span>. The critically-acclaimed series follows the story of Stanford Yu, a young janitor who is unexpectedly chosen to join the storied ranks of the Mech Cadets of the Sky Corps Academy. Once a year, giant robots from outer space come to Earth to bond with the cadets to defend the world from terrifying aliens known as the Sharg. After he unintentionally bonds with an off-course robot, Yu is thrown into training, hoping to prove he is worthy of being there at all.<\/p>\n

Exclusive to comic shops,\u00a0MECH CADET YU VOL. 1 DISCOVER NOW EDITION<\/strong>will also arrive in stores on\u00a0January 3rd<\/span><\/span>, collecting the first four issues of the series.

“MECH CADET YU<\/strong>\u00a0was originally going to be a four issue mini, but because of tremendous support from readers and retailers, we got upgraded to an ongoing. I’m hugely grateful\u2014I love writing this book so much!\u201d said Greg Pak. \u201cSo I’m thrilled that BOOM! Studios is giving retailers an exclusive window with the first trade collection. And I’m hoping the trailer will help us share the fun with new readers. Thanks so much to everyone\u2014hope ya dig!”<\/p>\n

“I am so grateful to be able to continue drawing the world of\u00a0MECH CADET YU<\/strong>,\u201d said Miyazawa. \u201cThere is nothing more rewarding than having a passion project being supported by so many readers and retailers. Thank you so much for your continued interest and enthusiasm. I am so proud of this book!”<\/p>\n
