Robotech is a franchise that keeps on keeping on and most of that is thanks to comics. After making a big splash with its original anime in 1985, the series mostly went quiet but comics were almost always there to fill in the gap. From Comico Comics to Eternity Comics, Academy Comics, Wildstom, and more, the Robotech comics now reside at Titan Comics. After relaunching the line in 2017, Titan paused on new Robotech comics in 2020 thanks in part to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Now the comics are back and they’ll be focusing on a fan-favorite lead character in the Robotech universe. Rick Hunter, from the first generation Macross Saga. Below we’ve got an exclusive synopsis and images from the new series.

Issue 4, which I guess means its end-of-the-first-story-arc time, this being the era of the four issue story, which coincidentally package up rather nicely into trade paperbacks. Completely unrelated of course. Sometimes of course this means stories are artificially scrunched into smaller chunks than intended, and it shows. The story suffers, as you would expect. A good writer fits his story to the space available, not just squeezing the story he wants to tell in the available space. Brenden Fletcher is a good writer, and the pacing and reveals have been perfect so far, and I’m expecting a great wrap up. Or else.

Can’t believe issue 3 has rolled around already with this reboot. It’s been a really solid and enjoyable start to a new era, albeit one that incorporates what’s gone before. If you came in late, Dana Sterling is now trapped in her past, our present, after saving the Earth. Only problem is, it’s now not really her past, as this new timeline has no Dana in it. She was never born, so although everyone and everything seems familiar, none of it is ‘hers’. Help may be on the horizon, however, with the arrival of two strange craft, seemingly able to move across multiple realities in the ‘Protoverse’. Could they help Dana return? Would they want to? Are they just inter-dimensional deliveroo couriers? Well one isn’t, as it sure looked like Rick Hunter.

I really didn’t want to like this reboot, or remix, of Robotech. I was so enjoying Simon Furman’s run that when it came to an end I was a bit annoyed. Yet another reboot I thought. Another cash grab first issue to tempt those speculators. I couldn’t be happier to say I was completely wrong. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into this remix, story threads old and new have been tied together, and the art style, though a complete contrast to the last run, is probably more appealing to diehard Robotech fans. It just works. Profuse apologies to editorial, who clearly knew what they were doing.
So far.
The theme of the first issue was beginnings. Big beginnings, in the sense that this was a new timeline, and smaller beginnings for Dana Sterling,...

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That was my first thought when I heard that Titan were replacing the excellent Robotech book with Robotech Remix. Since 2015, Brian Wood, Simon Furman, Marco Turini and Hendry Prasetya routinely turned in outstanding stories, both script and art wise. The characters were as well fleshed out as could have been expected with the animated source material. Like all good things though it came to an end, and on the plus side it never outstayed its welcome.
So, Robotech Remix clearly isn’t just going to be more of the same. At first glance, the art has reverted to the manga/anime style most commonly associated with Robotech, and the book is supposed to be a sequel of sorts to the last one, both of which liberally took as their...

The first 20 issues or so of this book were pretty fantastic. A great mix of action, political intrigue, mystery, goodies turning bad and baddies turning good, and pretty much every genre covered at some point. Even reality TV. But let’s not go there…As great as that all was, ending with the huge fight that devastated Earth but saw it victorious against Dolza and his Zentraedi forces, Simon Furman then revealed that this was almost a prologue to the real story. That guy. Turns out a huge event on the horizon was coming called, ahem, Event Horizon. This involved a plan to alter reality itself by The Invid’s Queen,Regess, and also the small matter of a traveller from the future, Dana Sterling, who had arrived at the same time as the Sdf-1′s original crash into Macross Island.

After years as the underdog, Dana and the Masters saga are taking center stage in the Robotech comic series.
This Robotech article contains minor spoilers up to issue 22 of the Robotech Titan Comics' series.
The Robotech comics are finally giving some major love to the franchise’s underdog, The Masters Saga. While the original Robotech anime was made up three different anime programs, the first and third “sagas” of the show have always received way more attention in the comic world. The Macross Saga has had endless sequels, sidequels, prequels, and retellings. New Generation hasn’t had quite as many but it’s still a major player.
The Masters Saga on the other hand has only received adaptations of the original episodes, a brief miniseries in the late 90’s, and its characters have made scant appearances in other comic series. Much of this is down to it...

Although not always the quickest kid on the block, and obviously distracted by little things like Avengers: Endgame and Game of Thrones of late, even I had been wondering what the little countdown symbols were on the recent covers of Robotech. What do you mean, you never even noticed them? Go back and take a look right now, I’ll wait…It seems that starting with Issue 17, which had a -4 symbol, we have been counting down to where we are right now, a -1 symbol. I assumed it was towards the resolution of current storylines, but it seems to be much bigger than that. Something called Event Horizon, and this issue directly leads into it. So let’s get reviewing.
Right, where were we? Well, everywhere to be honest. Dolza and his vicious assault on Earth has had unforeseen consequences,...

Always happy when a new issue of Robotech drops, as it has been consistently one of the best titles out there. Furman always delivers what you would expect from the book, fun sci-fi, but also throws in some soap opera, political intrigue, and plenty of action. He also has the knack of throwing frequent curveballs. Just when you think the story is going one way, or a character is doing something that seems good or bad, it gets turned on its head. That, my friends, is exceptionally good writing. So, where were we?
Or rather, where to start. So much went on last issue, it would take a long old recap to scratch the surface so, suffice to say, things are looking bad for virtually everyone. Minmei may have been affected by the protoculture after all, Rick thinks his brother Roy is dead,...

Fred Dryer appeared on the latest episode of NCIS. It led to a lot of viewers wanting to know more about him and the role that he played. For years, Dryer starred as Rick Hunter on the hit show, Hunter. An attempt to bring the show back, with Dryer as the star, didn’t do quite as well. Still, it was a role that television viewers will remember for years to come. Who is Dred Dryer on NCIS? The October 23 episode of the show was called Fragments. CBS described the episode as follows. “After a 50-year-old tape recording left by […]

Dare I say it, but this book feels a little like it’s treading water. That may be overstating it a little, but although I’m all for teasing out plotlines over several issues, I’m not so keen on big reveals being pushed so far back they start to lose relevance. Yes, I’m looking at you, Captain Gloval’s ‘death’. With all the other shenanigans going on, this centre piece plot is now ticking over in the shadows. Still, at least that made room for ‘Macross Got Talent’. Ahem. Of course, lots of other stuff did happen last issue. The Zentraedi Commander Breetai has upset his boss, Supreme Commander Dolza, one of the original discoverers of the Sdf-1, Thomas Riley Edwards, has resurfaced, and Rick Hunter is now blind. Yep.

With Robotech #9, Simon Furman finally flies solo. Brian Wood’s four issue handover, where they shared billing as co-plotters, has finished and the book will stand or fall on Furman alone. So far, admittedly it may be a little too early to tell for sure, the future only looks Ok. The Brain Wood issues were very strong, and the following four issue by Furman and Wood had some irritating subplots that I suspect came more from the pen of Furman. Time will tell. Although I’m still not forgiving anyone for ‘Macross Has Talent’. Ever.
Last issue had a whole lot going on, mainly on the bad end of the spectrum from our heroes point of view. We saw Rick, with Max and Ben, taking the fight to alien commander Breetai on his command vessel. Brave but foolhardy.

The common practice these days when a new book is launched, or a tired property is relaunched, is to attach a top creator to it, have him or her do their bit to get it off the ground, then pass the baton on. The hope is that enough groundwork has been laid, and interest generated, that readers will stay with the book even though the start creator leaves. Coincidentally you may notice Brian Wood is credited just as a plotter this issue, with Simon Furman coming on board as scripter. Wood has done a good job giving this incarnation of Robotech its own feel, and the characters their own voices, but I am a little unsure if he has done enough to just pass it off. Time will tell of course, and Simon Furman is a very safe pair of hands.
