UN Spacy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 WOW! Can't wait for this to be released. I bet it's all brand new images too, I hope there's also some interviews on how they designed the Veritechs. Quote

no3Ljm Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 And here I am thinking any Robotech related topic is somehow belongs to the Anime & Science Fiction section since I seldom seeing any Robotech related stuff in this section. Hahaha! Anyways, I can't wait to see this book with bunches of mecha reprints. Quote

seti88 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Knowing HG they will prob stretch it to vol 3, which vol2 being SC/Masters...urgh... Edited March 10, 2017 by seti88 Quote
spanner Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 what's Robotech!? yes yes im kidding! that joke is old I know.. but anyways yeah I'd probably buy this! purely for the pictorial content of course. Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 From a company that rarely produces anything new/original, and excels at repackaging old content ad infinitum, my money is on this being a book filled with reprints of art that has already been released in various other forms. You'll recall that they released three volumes of Robotech art books back in the 80s, Robotech Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3. They'll probably reprint the same line art from the Macross section of Art 1, maybe add some of the comic book art or some newer art from Tommy Yune. Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Give them a chance, guys. They've been living in this fantasy that they have ever since. And besides, they have to feed their families too. Quote

UN Spacy Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 You guys need to tone down the disrespect. This will be a HUGE hit in South America. I for one will keep my fingers crossed for a foreword by Tommy Yune. Quote
jvmacross Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I like the background illustration....looks like something I've seen recently....but I doubt this book will have much in terms of new original illustrations or artwork.....probably just a rehash of what I already own..... I appreciate good original artwork, especially if it is Macross-related, so will just wait and see what this actually turns out to be... Quote

no3Ljm Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 You guys think it will include these art covers on the so-called new book from the new Robotech comics? Surprise to see that they got Stanley Lau to do a Minmay cover for them. Quote

Expand Were it fanart, I think we'd be nicer. Don't get me wrong, it would still be very bad, but there is a difference between fanart and the output of a professional artist. One assumes comic book covers come from the later category... though I suppose I wouldn't put it past HG to do a search for "Robotech Macross" and start downloading images wildly, which would explain those first three.
