Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero by Travis Beacham

2.0

It was nice to get some backstory on how the Jaeger project came to be, as well as how they realized two pilots were needed. The only qualm I really had, other than that I pretty much hate all graphic novels and their illustrations and that Ralaigh and Yancey looked NOTHING like they do in the movie, was that, apparently *eye roll*,

Spoiler

Drifting is portrayed by those people Drifting as being naked together in the Drift. All very convenient when it's Sergio and Caitlin, not Raleigh and Yancy, or Stacker and Tam. But really? Because in the movie, it's a connection. It's memories. It's "a neural handshake". And since previously, Caitlin and Sergio weren't together, you can't write it off as memories. Badly done.

Adored what we got on Tam and Stacker and Luna, who was amaaaaaaaazing. And, of course, Mako. Raleigh and Yancy's small lame backstory was okay. I guess. No, actually, it was stupid. Whatever.

If you liked Pacific Rim, then it's worth a page-through, if only to see Tam and Luna and Stacker, but otherwise, give it a pass.
