About The Book

The secret missions of Red Impulse erupt into high-octane dogfights and covert wars against Galactor. Heroism in the shadows, where victories are won in silence and never claimed.

A four-issue, high-octane miniseries shining a spotlight on the secret missions of the elite Red Impulse Squadron. Each standalone story delivers aerial dogfights, covert ops, and Galactor’s deadliest weapons—while revealing the unspoken bonds between Captain Kentaro, his pilots, and his secret son, Ken the Eagle. From weaponized cities to annihilation devices, Red Impulse fights the battles no one else can… and can never take credit for. This is Gatchaman at full throttle—heroism in the shadows, where every victory comes at a cost.
