Fans of the Pacific Rim universe, strap in because we’re finally getting the last part of the story, which will reveal how the war between humanity and the trans-dimensional horrors comes to an end.
Sadly, this final battle won’t take place in a movie or even a Netflix animated spinoff but rather in the pages of a new three-part graphic novel series called Pacific Rim: Final Breach coming from Legendary Comics, with the first part due this May.
Humanity faces its ultimate threat as the Precursors unleash a new wave of devastating Kaiju assaults on Earth in Pacific Rim: Final Breach!
After years of failed attempts to enter the Anteverse, the trans-dimensional realm from which all Kaiju emerge, Jake Pentecost and Hermann Gottlieb conceive a daring last-ditch plan whose success hinges on finding legendary Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket—the only human being to ever survive behind enemy lines.
Amazon signs on with Legendary for Pacific Rim live-action series
Living in exile off the grid, Raleigh must choose assured annihilation or confront his past and team up with a new generation to pilot the brand-new Gipsy Destroyer, the last Jaeger standing. Tensions escalate and old wounds reopen as the PPDC finally crosses the breach to confront what lies on the other side… It’s time for humanity to meet its true enemy and cancel the apocalypse once and for all.
Pacific Rim: Final Breach is a three (3) volume graphic novel sequel to Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim Uprising that will pick up on the franchise storyline and take it in bold new directions. The Pacific Rim: Final Breach collection will be written by Joshua Fialkov (Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender) with art by EJ Su (Transformers)!
I’m a big fan of the Pacific Rim universe, yes, even the second movie and Netflix show, so I will definitely be picking this book up. On a side note, I love that we no longer live in a world where, even if your favourite movie or show never gets to end the story on screen, there are now several other channels open, be it comics, novels or video games.
I really hope this book delivers because this story deserves to end with a bang.
Thoughts? I know you have them, and I wanna hear ’em all.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
