pulllistRobotech's got itself quite a bit of history, being a new story and back history written to be fitted onto the footage from three originally-unrelated anime series back in the first half of the 80s.
Since then, it's had comic book adaptations of the original run, comics for the uncompleted Sentinels sequel, other comics filling in bits of back history (or sometimes just wildly making up crazy stories that barely fit into the Robotech universe, but why not) ... all sorts of bits and bobs and adaptations and sequels and prequels and inter-quels and I'm not sure what some of the later Third Gen-set stuff thought it was, lol. But that's okay, because we're not here to talk about those :Db
No sir, we're here for the Robotech reboot currently being published by Titan Comics (#15 just hit this week, even)! And boy howdy, this series is definitely overturning some apple carts in the name of changing things up. While still recognizable as "Robotech", there are changes to characters, changes to characters' fates, tinkerings with the back story -- such that has been revealed so far -- and events are definitely careening towards something that's radically different from the original, and I feel like, as a Robotech veteran, I am legit excited to see where all these swerves are going to lead.
A fresh off the presses interview with Simon Furman on the series can be read here:
Ramping Up Robotech
And hey, if you just want to see some scifi antics happening on the funny pages, it's still not a bad choice, says I ;3 It has Mysterious Technology, giant aliens, and mecha dogfights in it ~
