Luckily, his promise to spread the franchise across multiple media platforms before then might be enough to wet my whistle until then.

A continuation of the bestselling graphic novel <em>Pacific Rim:Tales from Year Zero<\/em>, the new Pacific Rim comic series will feature Jaegers never before seen in combat, squaring off against all-new Kaiju creatures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/pacificrimtftd_issue_01_pg_01_Preview.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-15572 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/pacificrimtftd_issue_01_pg_01_Preview.jpg\" alt=\"pacificrimtftd_issue_01_pg_01_Preview\" width=\"594\" height=\"901\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Pacific-Rim-Tales-from-the-Drift-700x541.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-15573 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Pacific-Rim-Tales-from-the-Drift-700x541.jpg\" alt=\"Pacific-Rim-Tales-from-the-Drift-700x541\" width=\"603\" height=\"466\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The series comes from writer Joshua Fialkov (<em>The Bunker, I, Vampire, Elk\u2019s Run<\/em>) and features artwork by Marcos Marz (<em>Batman Confidential, Blackest Night: JSA<\/em>).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No word quite yet on when we&#8217;ll see the animated series del Toro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HndBiSyOrK4\">also mentioned in his announcement<\/a>.
