Due to popular demand, BOOM! Studios has announced Mech Cadet Yu Vol. 1 Discover Now Edition, arriving exclusively in comics shops January 2018. Collecting the first four issues of the acclaimed all-new series from the superstar team of writer Greg Pak and artist Takeshi Miyazawa, Mech Cadet Yu Vol. 1 Discover Now Edition is the perfect jumping-on point for the series, which begins a new arc in January’s Mech Cadet Yu #5.

Mech Cadet Yu is the story of Stanford Yu, a young janitor who is unexpectedly chosen to join the storied ranks of the Mech Cadets of the Sky Corps Academy. Once a year, giant robots from outer space come to Earth to bond with the cadets to defend the world from terrifying aliens known as the Sharg. After he unintentionally bonds with an off-course robot, Yu is thrown into training, hoping to prove he is worthy of being there at all.

The Discover Now Edition of the collection will be available exclusively in comic shops for four months and is strictly limited to its initial print run and never reprinted. In May 2018, a standard edition of Mech Cadet Yu Vol. 1, featuring a different cover and including additional behind-the-scenes material, will be released to comic shops and bookstores worldwide, with the same MSRP of $14.99.

Mech Cadet Yu Vol. 1 Discover Now Edition and Mech Cadet Yu #5 arrive in comic shops on January 3rd, 2018, with a shared FOC date of December 11th, 2017.
