Mad Cave Studios and Tatsunoko Production travel down previously unexplored paths as they present Gatchaman: Leader X One-Shot this December, giving the titular villain Leader X his own story for the first time ever that will pit the alien AI mastermind against his greatest henchman, Berg Katse. 

Written by Steve Orlando, illustrated by Giona Zefiro, with colors by Carlos Lopez, and lettering by Buddy Beaudoin. Cover A is illustrated by Vincenzo Riccardi and cover B illustrated by Dario Brizuela. 

Secrets rise in the Arctic wasteland! When tectonic activity unearths an ancient alien ship under the arctic ice, Leader X sends Berg Katse to steal the craft’s secrets before the International Science Organization can get their do-gooding hands on it. But when Leader X refuses to explain why the vessel is so important, Berg Katse suspects more than technological prowess is at stake. Is this his chance to break free from submission to his cruel master? To rule Galactor with his own maniacal fist?

Perfect for the true fans of this classic anime, Gatchaman: Leader X One-Shot is an explosive ride from start to finish as the reader gets a behind-the-scenes look at Leader X and Berg Katse, a situation that may have more dire consequences for the world than ever before.
