Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero by Travis Beacham
4.0
This is a really cool graphic novel and gives some insights into the years between the first kaiju attack in San Francisco and the events of Pacific Rim. The art is pretty good, except for some of the human proportions that felt kind of unrealistic. Overall, it was a concise and well-told series of stories.
I liked the story of how the first prototype Jaeger was built, although I did think there was more than one casualty before the system of two-person drifting was discovered. The human element was ultimately what sold this book for me, and the sacrifices people made along the way to pave the road for the eventual destruction of the kaiju.
