Mondo Brings 'Pacific Rim' To 2013 Comic-Con

The ever popular art focused artist house, Mondo, is coming to Comic-Con 2013 and bringing some Pacific Rim prints with them!

Mondo has a lot of fans out there and I'm sure that this is great news.  Check out the images they provided press.

I love this poster above... it accents many aspects of the movie.. from the robot putting a whooping on the Kaiju, to the lower third of the image, showing the pilots duality brought together, working the robot in unison.

press release

{Mondo is excited to announce that it will return to San Diego Comic-Con 2013 with incredible new prints, including three colossal pieces of giant monster crushing artwork to celebrate the release Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures'Pacific Rim from director Guillermo del Toro on July 12. The Mondo booth will be set up on the main conference floor in booth #936 throughout SDCC, Wednesday July 17 through Sunday July 21. Additionally, new prints from celebrated artists Martin Ansin, Olly Moss and Drew Struzan will be available for presale on Friday, July 12.

"Mondo has always been instrumental in cementing world creation in pop culture- these posters by Ash Thorp and Kevin Tong and Vania Zouravliov capture perfectly the wild, gleeful spirit of Pacific Rim - here's to a mad world of Mecha and Kaiju!!" said director Guillermo del Toro. 

"I love monsters. I love robots. I love Guillermo del Toro. When he asked us to do posters for a movie he was directing with both, how could we say no? GDT wasn't a bystander in the process, though. As he did in our previous director's series, he helped hand pick the artist and gave notes on the designs. We're all very proud to have worked on this project with him," said Justin Ishmael CEO of Mondo.

There will be new posters available at the Mondo booth daily, and for the first time a Comic-Con presale for select prints will happen this Friday, July 12 for new artwork from Martin Ansin (Conan the Barbarian), Olly Moss (Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away) & Drew Struzan (Dark Tower). All three artists will be in attendance at Comic-Con and available to autograph the prints. Check Mondo's blog for more details on the pre-sale and signings -- http://blog.mondotees.com/.
