Soon to be an animated series on Netflix, Boom! Studios hit and brainchild of writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa, Mech Cadets #1 marks the triumphant return of the hit mecha series. Olivia Park has done the unimaginable and led her team in victory against the alien scourge of the Sharg. However, the troubles aren’t over. The cadets are once again on duty, and Olivia is facing the consequences of her recent good intentions.However, when the cadets are called upon to a recon mission, the arrival of an important ally pits the Mech Cadets in a battle between what is lawful and what is right. And as always, everyone — especially Olivia –knows exactly what choice to make. Featuring colors by Ian Herring and letters by Simon Bowland, Mech Cadets #1 begins a new chapter for the Cadets.Greg Pak’s writing style has many of the trappings of Young Adult literature. This issue features naturalistic yet expository dialogue, vibrant, youthful witticisms, humorless and inflexible adult figures, subtle social commentary, and kid heroes with powerful roles as soldiers and fighters. Pak has a deep understanding of the now ubiquitous Mecha genre, from the greats such as the original Gundam franchise to deconstructions such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and more contemporary offerings like Megas XLR. The story structure of Mech Cadets, with its emphasis on the team as opposed to individuals, has influence in traditional hero teams and super sentai works á laPower Rangers. Considering that this franchise is debuting as an animated series on Netflix, it makes sense that Mech Cadets #1 is brief and episodic, if cinematic, in nature.RELATED: REVIEW: BOOM Studios’ BRZRKR: Poetry of Madness #1
