MECH CADET YU EXPANDED TO ONGOING
BOOM! Studios has announced that the Mech Cadet Yu limited series has been upgraded to an ongoing series.
The team of writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa deliver the story of Stanford Yu, a young janitor who is unexpectedly chosen to join the sacred ranks of the mech cadets at 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 his robot, Yu is thrown into training, hoping to prove he is worthy of being there at all.
"I'm hugely thrilled and so grateful to all of the readers, reviewers, and retailers who showed the first issue so much love and spread the word about the book," Pak said. "That kind of word-of-mouth means all the world to an underdog book about an underdog hero and his underdog robot, so thank you so much! None of this would have happened without you, and we're doing our best to make every issue the best and most fun it can possibly be."
"I feel like we would just be getting on our two feet with the first four issues, so it's going to be amazing to see where the story goes and watch Stanford and Co. face bigger threats and become even bigger heroes," adds Miyazawa. "Stanford has come such a long way already. I hope everyone keeps rooting for the kid!"
Mech Cadet Yu #2 will be in stores on Sept. 13.
