Summary

If you're like me and badly wanted more official Pacific Rim content in your life， then this is worth a read simply to fill in a couple little knowledge gaps from the start of the Kaiju attacks and the creation of the Jaeger program。 As long as you're not expecting anything nearly as good as the film， but rather just some backstory and snippets of info， you're good to go。The core of the story is a bit random and lackluster as it follows a journalist basically writing a fluff piece on those invol If you're like me and badly wanted more official Pacific Rim content in your life， then this is worth a read simply to fill in a couple little knowledge gaps from the start of the Kaiju attacks and the creation of the Jaeger program。 As long as you're not expecting anything nearly as good as the film， but rather just some backstory and snippets of info， you're good to go。The core of the story is a bit random and lackluster as it follows a journalist basically writing a fluff piece on those involved in the Kaiju attacks; this mostly just serves as a way for characters to infodump and have flashback moments。 The result kind of feels like reading a very descriptive Wiki page， plus some Yancy and Raleigh drama that's a bit cliché （fighting over a girl。。。yawn。） Also the art styles throughout feel super low-budget？ It's just not a pretty thing to look at。 But all that being said， it was still cool just to get some more info on the world of Pacific Rim， plus a neat little Pentecost and Mori side story。 The origins of the creation of drifting was also fun to see， Also， don't skip the forwards by Travis Beacham！ It has so much obvious heart and enjoyment for this world that it makes the story shine a little brighter。 。。。more

A collection of short stories dealing with different people surviving the kaiju attacks。

This may is my first time for reading comic， just helping me to know what happened before the movie。 However it is not more enjoyable than I thought， and due to ugly cartoon style I prefer to text。

Great artwork and a fun read。 Adds a bit of depth to the world lore， which is always good。 Can't figure out why they wouldn't include Hermann & Geiszler though。 You'd have thought they'd be an obvious choice。 Great artwork and a fun read。 Adds a bit of depth to the world lore， which is always good。 Can't figure out why they wouldn't include Hermann & Geiszler though。 You'd have thought they'd be an obvious choice。 。。。more

Eh， not bad。 Pretty basic， gives you some background details if you care to dig in。

For anyone who's a fan of the Pacific Rim franchise， I highly recommend this graphic novel。 Gives you a sneak peek into the events of K-day and how the pons came to be。 For anyone who's a fan of the Pacific Rim franchise， I highly recommend this graphic novel。 Gives you a sneak peek into the events of K-day and how the pons came to be。 。。。more

This is a decent little collection of Pacific Rim tales。 I will say however the artwork is a little uninspired for a Guillermo Del Toro comic but the tales are interesting and offer cool backstory to characters from the film。 I do wish it was more progressional， showing each event as they happen leading up to the film would have been a better frame for the overall story。 There’s good material just not enough of it。

This comic does a fantastic job of expanding on the minor details of the movie， really opening up the world and exploring a lot of different perspectives。 What it does the best job of， however， is introducing the human element the movie lacked。 It really delves into how people were affected by the Kaiju War and how these affects and interpersonal relationships shaped what happens moving forward。My favourite thing is the question this comic asks: Why do we fight？ It's certainly something to think This comic does a fantastic job of expanding on the minor details of the movie， really opening up the world and exploring a lot of different perspectives。 What it does the best job of， however， is introducing the human element the movie lacked。 It really delves into how people were affected by the Kaiju War and how these affects and interpersonal relationships shaped what happens moving forward。My favourite thing is the question this comic asks: Why do we fight？ It's certainly something to think about。There are elements of this book that will get a re-read， but it primarily focussed on expanding the lore for fans。 I'd say it deserves more of a 3。5 star rating， but hey。 。。。more

A great prequel to the movie， showing us events from K-day to the film。 Simply said， nice origins of the Jaeger program， the first kaiju attack。 I liked artwork， especially pictures with kaiju。 I will always love anything that is somehow connected to Pacific Rim。

I love Pacific Rim with all my heart， but I'd heard years ago that this graphic novel was just。。。 not very good， so when I picked it up at the library to finally take a look， my expectations were low。 I love Pacific Rim with all my heart， but I'd heard years ago that this graphic novel was just。。。 not very good， so when I picked it up at the library to finally take a look， my expectations were low。 。。。more

Disappointingly toothless。 There just wasn't much to the story in the way of depth， complexity， or even action。 I don't feel like it expanded my understanding of a movie I love， and the art was just so-so。 Disappointingly toothless。 There just wasn't much to the story in the way of depth， complexity， or even action。 I don't feel like it expanded my understanding of a movie I love， and the art was just so-so。 。。。more

I enjoyed this even though it was a graphic novel。 I was hoping it was a regular novel。 But， still a fun read。

Just beautiful artwork and story！ After reading the comics I get more of the Pacific Rim Uprising and that it really is just a small piece of a giant world with mecha vs Kaiju！

I loved watching Pacific Rim because it was so immense。 All of the ideas were insanely large。 Here， we get a look behind the scenes at some of the key players in the movie。 I like the idea but honestly the movie's world plays out better not knowing some of this stuff。 I can get behind giant manned robots fighting giant sea-dwelling monsters。 I struggle to see the government's financial planning in this。 Its a misstep。 The art， by various artists was decent but not dynamic enough to equal the mov I loved watching Pacific Rim because it was so immense。 All of the ideas were insanely large。 Here， we get a look behind the scenes at some of the key players in the movie。 I like the idea but honestly the movie's world plays out better not knowing some of this stuff。 I can get behind giant manned robots fighting giant sea-dwelling monsters。 I struggle to see the government's financial planning in this。 Its a misstep。 The art， by various artists was decent but not dynamic enough to equal the movie。 Overall， an average book that isn't needed。 。。。more

I had a blast reading this。 It was a fast read， and many of the panels look epic in scale。 It gives all the background， and sets you firmly in this world， which is what I wanted， as I'm excited for this new Pacific Rim movie。 I had a blast reading this。 It was a fast read， and many of the panels look epic in scale。 It gives all the background， and sets you firmly in this world， which is what I wanted， as I'm excited for this new Pacific Rim movie。 。。。more

Of course， it's Pacific Rim， so I'm gonna read it。 Always up for getting more info about our favorite heroes。 But。。。it didn't actually do that？ I feel like we get a better grasp of America and the development of the PPDC between K-Day and the film， but the protag is introduced wildly late in the graphic novel。 Was hoping for more info about him。 Of course， it's Pacific Rim， so I'm gonna read it。 Always up for getting more info about our favorite heroes。 But。。。it didn't actually do that？ I feel like we get a better grasp of America and the development of the PPDC between K-Day and the film， but the protag is introduced wildly late in the graphic novel。 Was hoping for more info about him。 。。。more

This is a fun prequel， and it gets an automatic three stars because who doesn't want more Pacific Rim？ The art is of good quality the coloring is acceptable and the story is engaging。 Overall just a fun read and a fun trip back into the Jäger universe。 This is a fun prequel， and it gets an automatic three stars because who doesn't want more Pacific Rim？ The art is of good quality the coloring is acceptable and the story is engaging。 Overall just a fun read and a fun trip back into the Jäger universe。 。。。more
