MECHATON is a joyous celebration of kaijus, mechs, and all-ages comics from the sensational comics team of Wells Thompson and Dalton K. Shannon. MECHATON smashes into Previews now for a March 29, 2023 release! https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/JAN231844
MECHATON is a child’s dream come to vivid life in a heroic tale with an epic scale. Imagine possessing a cosmic glove of mysterious origins that can transform whatever it touches into a formidable mech. Is a disgusting kaiju-sized insect terrorizing your city? No problem, punch anything and you have a mech in which to mash it. MECHATON features deeper themes too as Derek and Leah much venture off the couch and decide to become heroes, because nothing is more important than protecting one’s neighbors!
MECHATON #1 is the first issue of a series from the writers of Frankenstein Unconquered. This new series has the backing of the indie-comic super-publisher, Scout Comics. Wells Thompson and Dalton K. Shannon have proven themselves as talented and unique voices in the indie market and MECHATON exemplifies their ability to branch out into all-ages fare. MECHATON is supported by a huge marketing push and a strong, established fanbase.
“MechaTon is the most fun I’ve had telling a story,” states co-writer, Wells Thompson, “
It’s the kind of comic where “that’s ridiculous” isn’t an idea killer, it’s high praise, where everything gets to be larger than life and real problems get to be tackled on an impossible scale. It’s got the most heart, humor, and heroics of any book we’ve done, plus a bunch of mechs made from trash and the best stylized art I’ve seen since Scott Pilgrim. MECHATON makes me happy, and I think it’ll make you happy too!”
“This book always puts a smile on my face,” gleams co-writer, Dalton K. Shannon, “It’s a project that’s been in the works for a decade now and the impossible dream of punching robots into existence to fight giant monsters has never been more exciting. I’ve loved getting to work with a team that takes big, dumb robots as seriously as I do and getting to see that passion come to life within the pages of MECHATON has been the most spectacular of achievements. Between robots made of trash, characters full of sincerity, and the over-the-top action that made me fall in love with genre fiction in the first place, I couldn’t imagine a better book to help bring to life. Punch anything. Punch everything.”
Fernando Pinto, MECHATON artist added, “MECHATON is fun comics. Seems that those two words should be almost synonymous, but I don’t think that is the case most of the time. MECHATON is. MECHATON is an amazing Sci-fi adventure concept (I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to create giant mechs at will?), that’s grounded by the relationships of the characters that populates its world. Sibling friendship, love for your community, and the acceptance of everyone around you. It has heart, it has adventure, it is funny, and…giant robots! I feel really happy, and lucky, to be a part of it. It’s been a great ride so far, completely enhanced by my working relationship with the team. I mean, open your phone any day of the week and you’ll find a horror story about working in comics. I’m glad to say this has been great all the way through so far. I hope we get to keep doing it.
