I really enjoyed the first issue of Mech Cadet Yu when it came out last month. I thought it was a solid opening issue. And I was excited to jump back into this “boy and his giant robot” story. I wanted to see how Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa continued to grow this story that is not entirely unique or original but is still being presented interestingly and engagingly.

Review: Mech Cadet Yu #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

I’ve never been super big into giant robots. I don’t remember liking Transformers growing up, and don’t even get me started on the recent movies. I liked Pacific Rim fine but it wasn’t anything that changed my life. I don’t know. I don’t have anything particularly against the giant robot/Mecha genre. My interests just usually fall elsewhere I guess. So what you’re probably wondering, then, is why I chose to review Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa’s Mech Cadet Yu. And I don’t have an answer for that. I’d have to guess it was because of Miyazawa’s cover of the Mech holding a small boy in its giant hand in what appears to be an American desert. Anyway, here’s my review.
