Legendary Comics Presents Pacific Rim: Final Breach
An original graphic novel, continuing on from the films. From Legendary Comics, it’s Pacific Rim: Final Breach.
Humanity faces its ultimate threat as the Precursors unleash a new wave of devastating Kaiju assaults on Earth in the new graphic novel PACIFIC RIM: FINAL BREACH (Legendary Publishing; May 5th).
After years of failed attempts to enter the Anteverse, the trans-dimensional realm from which all Kaiju emerge, Jake Pentecost and Hermann Gottlieb conceive a daring last-ditch plan whose success hinges on finding legendary Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket—the only human being to ever survive behind enemy lines. Living in exile off the grid, Raleigh must choose assured annihilation or confront his past and team up with a new generation to pilot the brand-new Gipsy Destroyer, the last Jaeger standing. Tensions escalate and old wounds reopen as the PPDC finally crosses the breach to confront what lies on the other side… It’s time for humanity to meet its true enemy and cancel the apocalypse once and for all.

Top Shelf Set to Release Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm — One Anxious Hero’s Big Rescue!
A new upcoming graphic novel coming from Top Shelf this June, with a middle-grade adventure in Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm.
Meet Minnie! Minnie is super-strong and super-anxious… but she’ll have to journey through the MicroRealm to save her best friends: her five pets! Top Shelf Productions is set to release the critter adventure, Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm, available June 23! Middle grade readers are invited to crack open new worlds of adventure in this all-new graphic novel from Eisner-winner Caleb Goellner (TMNT/Naruto, Ghost Cage) and Eric Lide (Sonic the Hedgehog, DragonForged: Sword of the Champion).
“I’m mega excited for readers to adventure through the MicroRealm with the mighty Minnie Pouches and her preposterously cute (and powerful) pets,” said co-creator Caleb Goellner. “Getting to work with the perfect editor, artist, and publishing team made this a dream project for me. Now I’m stoked for it to be a dream comic for fans of action, adventure, and the power of friendship!”
“Bringing the MicroRealm to life with this team was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in comics!” said co-creator Eric Lide. “I can’t wait for readers to join Minnie Pouches (and her pets) on this reality-hopping over-the-top adventure! Expect lots of laughs, epic fight scenes, and lots and lots of pizza!”
Her parents are famous scientists and multiverse travel influencers…but Minnie Pouches hates being on camera. She feels too big, too shy, and too nervous. She can’t even finish an important middle school project! One day, when the pressure becomes too much, Minnie rage-quits her parents’ show and activates her stylish fanny pack to disappear into the MicroRealm. Now, far from home, she’ll dance through encounters with greasy pizza dinosaurs, angry laser robots, and toothy pool floats to push past her fears, find her missing pets, and save the entire family.
Minnie Pouches in the MicroRealm will be available wherever books are sold, as a full-color softcover graphic novel (ISBN: 978-1-60309-590-7) as well as a digital edition, on June 23, 2026, for a list price of $14.99. For more information please visit the Top Shelf web site.
It’s the end of the world. (For real this time.)
Apocalyptic survival manga coming soon from Nakama Press with World Enders.
With Earth on its deathbed, four unhinged mercenaries are sent to finish it, blow it up, and put it out of its misery, but as they close in, they begin to question the mission and each other.
Mad Cave Studios’ Nakama Press imprint announces WORLD ENDERS, a manga-inspired apocalyptic romp from award-winning writer James Patrick (Batman, Green Arrow, Kaiju $core) and Turin-based artist Nicola Izzo (Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle, Blow Away), with lettering by Sal Cipriano. Set in the aftermath of not one—BUT EIGHT—apocalypses, the graphic novel drops readers into a world that’s been pushed past collapse and kept breathing anyway.
The end of the world isn’t coming. It’s already here. Eight apocalypses have ravaged Earth, and humanity has limped through each one...barely. Now, the monsters of Apoc 8 are closing in, and the only ones left to finish the job are a ragtag crew known as the World Enders: Bethany, Pullman, Toth, and the unhinged S.A.M.—mercenaries who kill for hire in a world already on life support. Their newest mission: trigger a doomsday bomb and finish the job once and for all. But as monsters close in and hope refuses to die, this crew of killers must decide if ending the world is mercy… or madness.
James Patrick frames the story as both catharsis and collapse:
“Sure, this book is a blast. It's about having a good time blowing up a world that's earned the right to be destroyed. But it's also about how we all have to confront the end at some point. And about the realities that set in when you decide to go through with irreversible decisions.”
Artist Nicola Izzo added, “I loved drawing this story and all of its characters. My favorite character is definitely S.A.M., but you'll only understand why if you read to the end. I hope readers enjoy my storytelling style and the dynamism and expressiveness I've tried to give the characters.”
Blending the relentless momentum of Mad Max: Fury Road with the dark humor and moral weight of Suicide Squad, World Enders is as explosive as it is existential, pushing its characters toward a question no one is built to answer: when everything is broken, who decides when it’s over?
World Enders goes on sale July 21, 2026 (ISBN: 9781545827291 | $10.99). Available wherever books are sold, including local comic shops, bookstores, and nakamapress.com.
