The Robotech saga is one of the masterpieces of Japanese animation, filled with memorable characters and laced with equal parts action and emotion. This volume collects ROBOTECH #1-6, the critically acclaimed WildStorm miniseries that breathed new life into the Robotech universe!

Learn the story of Roy Fokker, an ace pilot in the great war and a test pilot for the Veritech program. The story of the Veritech program is one fraught with betrayal and disappointment, featuring a veritable Who's-Who of the Robotech universe...with a surprise ending that will leave fans begging for more!

Also included is ROBOTECH ZERO, a prelude to the miniseries that contains a 12-page story illustrated in "jam" style by Jim Lee, Lee Bermejo, Alé Garza, and Carlos D'Anda! Plus, this volume includes the hard-to-find ROBOTECH SOURCEBOOK, written by Yune with art by Jason Pearson, Garza, D'Anda, Damion Scott, Rob Haynes, Tommy Lee Edwards, and more, featuring background info on every Robotech character and vehicle! ROBOTECH FROM THE STARS is a must-have for fans of all ages!

Coming at the end of May! The legendary saga continues in this prequel to the award-winning animated film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles!

The miraculous arrival of Robotechnology brought grave devastation and interplanetary war to Earth. An Expeditionary Force under the command of Admiral Rick Hunter departed to the stars in search of the homeworld of the Robotech Masters. However, its discovery would spark an interstellar conflict that would last decades. Despite an uneasy alliance forged with alien forces, the enigmatic Invid Regent remains an obstacle to peace. However, a secret pact with an enemy within the ranks threatens to start a new war over the mysterious new science of Shadow Technology...one that could destroy the Expeditionary Force and the human race!

Featuring the triumphant return of longtime Robotech: The Sentinels comic creators Jason and John Waltrip along with beautiful art by Omar Dogan and newly added material, the prelude to "The Shadow Chronicles" has begun!

This full-sized 128-page volume contains:

- the complete Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles series #1-5 with previously unpublished new material
- illustrated Robotech timeline and planetary guide
- data files of mecha and vessels from the comic series
- behind the scenes of the making of the animated film and comic book prequel.

AT THE RICHARD EPCAR (DDR OF SHADOW CHRONICLES, VOICE OF LUNK, VINCE GRANT, BEN DIXON)BAND PERFORMANCE LAST WEEK TOMMY BROUGHT PREVIEW OF THE ARTWORK TO SHOW THE FANS.

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE CHANGE FROM LAST SET OF PRELUDE COMICS. AND THERE WAS A HINT TO SHADOW RISING. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THERE IS EXTRA CONTENT IN THE COMICS AND FEW EXTRA PANELS ADDED.

WILL HOPE TO GET A PREVIEW OF THE COMIC SOON SO WE CAN DO AN INTERVIEW ON ROBOTECH ESPANOL PODCAST ABOUT IT.

Well isn't it just a reprint of the comics? Its not going to have any new material really. Its more like a gimmick. But at least they put something out.

I see it like this, its the same deal as when they kept re-packaging the original 85. The numbers game seems to pay off for them. I ended up buying the Protoculture Edition. Now maybe just maybe, I'll save up the pennies I usually leave lying around and buy this.

SIGH

Well isn't it just a reprint of the comics? Its not going to have any new material really. Its more like a gimmick. But at least they put something out.

OF COURSE THEY ARE THE REPRINTS WITH JUST A FRESHNESS OF PAINT AND TWEAKING OF THE LOOK.

IT'S THE EXTRAS THAT COMES WITH IT THAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TOO.

The extras will be worth spending the 17 bucks on the GN. I hope they show more Minmei and explain why Lynn Kyle was shot.
