They sue over that one Mickey Mouse toy that turns into Optimus Prime. Claim it is a ripoff of their patented veritechnology or some crap. And then DARKNESS FALLS UPON THEIR REALM.

Misa has several trippy hallucinations about Riber during her short visit to Salla Base in Macross the First. You are correct that in the original Macross version, Mars Base Salla had been deliberately abandoned by the UN Forces and the fleet returning the base personnel to Earth was ambushed and destroyed by the Oberth-class space destroyer Tsiolkovsky on 8 September 2005, killing a total 3,055 people. (Hunting down and destroying the hijacked destroyer was what made Global famous and probably got him a job commanding the SDF-1.) The event badly-drawn Britai is referring to in the Robotech comic above is in a sidestory mini-comic that was included in the DC/Wildstorm Robotech: Invasion comic in the faint hope that having some Macross Saga stuff might prop up sales. It told a version of Mars Base's abandonment that was very different from Macross's. That comic, entitled Mars Base One, depicted an unrecorded-in-history conflict in which a single Zentradi medium-scale gunboat found the Sol system years before Britai's fleet. The ship folded into Mars orbit and attacked Mars Base, and the base commanders ordered an evacuation which was brought rather abruptly to an end when the evacuation ship was destroyed and the Zentradi ship was destroyed in turn by a prototype Grand Cannon system, leaving Riber the sole survivor of the base and stranded on Mars indefinitely... at which point he wanders off into the Martian desert to die for no clear reason despite having working radio systems, a crapload of food and supplies, and life support that'd last years. That side story was actually pretty cool - focusing on the Zentraedi visuals that is. ( I didnt even notice the Riber thing because I don't give a damn about the humans.) Some of those Robotech comics such as Warriors, Return to Macross and Love and War depicted the Zentraedi designs quite nicely. It just drives home how stunningly bad the current re-imagined-for-millenialtards crap is. Edited December 17, 2017 by Podtastic context

Nah, "the shapings of the protoculture" makes midichlorians seem incredibly well thought-out and logical by comparison.

When you consider that THIS unholy mess of a comic apparently meets those "lofty" standards, that says a lot about how utterly awful the novels were. End of the Circle is right up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special for its cringeworthy nonsense factor.)

Sildani Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Lucas apparently had the idea for midi-chlorians way back in ‘77. It was in the “universe” reference notes he wrote for authors of Star Wars novels. He didn’t think the first movie had enough runtime to properly mention them.
Einherjar Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Because the Simpsons dental plan video would be too easy at this point, I think the big secret about this comic is that someone working on it has a teeth fetish (odontophilia).

They were mentioned a few times in the novels, heck Luke even had a device that detected force users in a novel done back just after the OT. I want to say it was in Splinter of a Minds Eye, but it doesn't sound right. Will wiki later.

Keith Posted December 27, 2017 Posted December 27, 2017 Can't help but wonder, is this comic drawn by the character designer from "Aaahh! Real Monsters" ?
Old_Nash Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Robotech #6 The most best art in this comic... The cast (the most ugly art cast ever) So... Realy that is rick? Robotech Version of Ghost of "Carl" Macek Sargent Mostard in the Street with hands "General Kenobi, I need your help"
Knight26 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) WTF? They killed Gloval? And Rick has eye issue? Edited January 17, 2018 by Knight26
no3Ljm Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Wait. What?! And since when all the 'veritechs' have skull markings on the tailfin? Yeah, to be continued indeed.
dizman Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 They missed a big opportunity to have a red X over Globals portrait in the cast of characters page. Hopefully they will fix that in the next issue when they kill off Rick so that Roy can be the main character.
Seto Kaiba Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 ... why do people keep buying these comics? If they really want to make themselves suffer, couldn't they just do something more sensible like get a minimum-wage service industry job, eat a bucket of laundry detergent pods, or swallow barbed wire, pull the other end out of their rectums, and floss themselves to death? I swear the art is getting worse with every panel.

Knight26 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The artist's websitehttp://angryjim.com/?cat=6 I know, when I'm wanting to hire an artist for a mecha heavy comic I hire a guy who used to do Adventure Time level of artwork. Some of his less cartoony line work looks ok, but then whoever they hired as inker and colorist killed it.

Chronocidal Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 I'm just waiting for Minmei's face in that mid-right panel to become a meme. That expression is glorious. Also, if I didn't know any better, I think the art problem they're having with the Val-.. uh, Veritechs, is that someone bought a VF-0 model as a reference.
no3Ljm Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Actually, the canopy nosecone area reminds me of the shape of the Fan Racer.
