That Pacific Rim Footage at WonderCon / Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero comicbook cover by Alex Ross
And while I am still holding my breath for a crack at the Jaeger trading cards released at WonderCon, there also the expectation to see THAT Pacific RIm footage that was specifically cut for, and shown at WonderCon - and eventually CinemaCon too - to hit the net … probably after CinemaCon ends April 18th? Maaaan, I hope my speculation is totally wrong here tho! I wanna see it NOW~
They first announced the toys at ToyFair 2013, and of course, there needs to be the comicbook adaptation! Revealed at the event from Legendary Comics was the cover art for the graphic novel, PACIFIC RIM: TALES FROM YEAR ZERO - featuring a fully-painted cover by Alex Ross. SlashFilm reports:
"It was heavy on Jaeger vs. Kaiju battles, which were insane. At one point a Jaeger has a showdown in the streets where it beats the crap out of a kaiju with an oil tanker, which it wields like a baseball bat! The movie just looks amazing; the top-notch visual effects are both photo-realistic and capture the weight and movement of what such giant entities might really be like. Charlie Day's hipster geek scientist refers to the Jaegers at one point as "two thousand, five hundred pounds of awesome."" ~(reported IGN).
