JAN. 27, 2025, (PORTLAND, OR) — Courage, ingenuity, and redemption on the high seas!
Building on the momentum of Gatchaman—Ken: Deathmatch and Gatchaman—Jun: Apex Heart, Mad Cave Studios and Tatsunoko Production are proud to present the continuation of the exciting one-shot series with, GATCHAMAN RYU: SCAVENGERS!
Join Eisner Award-winning writer Steve Orlando (Love is Love, Outlaw Territory) who delivers another exciting sci-fi action-packed adventure, with vivid illustrations and Cover A artwork by Riccardo Robaldo (Radiant Black) and letters by Frank Cvetkovic, plus a wild cover variant by Nuno Plati (Gatchaman: Only One Earth).
When modernized scavenger pirates—the ruthless Sea Vultures—launch a surprise attack on his harbor, Ryu, the steadfast pilot of the Science Ninja Team, steps out of the cockpit and into the spotlight! Determined to protect his community and prove he’s more than just a pilot, Ryu embarks on a high-stakes oceanic adventure, piloting his amphibious tank to outwit the pirates and uncover the mystery behind their deadly ship. The tides turn in this explosive solo mission of courage, ingenuity, and redemption on the high seas!
“He’s just the pilot…or is he? Gatchaman Ryu: Scavengers stars perhaps the most underestimated member of the Science Ninja Team, but we’re here to say that Ryu is much more than the pilot!” said Steve Orlando. “When Ryu’s harbor home comes under attack from the newly-debuting Sea Locust, Ryu must risk everything to defend the place and people he loves! Along the way, he’ll get to test out some of his brand-new designs as he rides out alone to challenge not just a band of marauding pirates, but the massive, shipwreck-eating deity that they worship! Riccardo Robaldo‘s incredible art brings Ryu’s struggle to life in ways that have blown my mind time and time again—I couldn’t be luckier to be part of this tale! It’s an underdog story, it’s a hero’s journey, and it’s a harrowing mission in the dark unknown of the ocean’s depths!
Prepare for the next thrilling chapter in Mad Cave Studios’ bold expansion of the Gatchaman saga!
