TheLoneWolf Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Wow, except for the VF-1 (how ironic), the mechanical artwork actually looks pretty good. And the character artwork is passable, which is a huge improvement over the past issues. I'm curious to see if Furman's going to resize the Invid mecha, because current figures make them comically small when compared to the VF-1. If he's going to throw them in the Macross Saga, he might as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight26 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The artwork is a definite step up, but how are there skyscrapers inside the SDF-1? The itself was enough of a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaman Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 The SDF-1 (even in Macross) has always been a bit like the Tardis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I read about this nonsense, the more I'm convinced they have no actual plan for this series. It really feels like there's some kind of bar bet going on here where they're trying to see how many soap opera twists they can fit into this comic before it gets canned.

RavenHawk Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 So... they're taking this thing in totally new directions, with increasingly less to do with what is commonly known as "Robotech?" All things considered, that may not be a bad thing... This reminds me a bit of when Furman took over the US Marvel run of Transformers, and started running the stories towards less of a direction of what was previously Transformers, and more as a springboard for his own original (or heavily modified) human characters. Anyone remember the Neo Knights? Furman was readying them to be their own series for when Transformers inevitably got canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brofessor Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Spoiler for Issue 13 issued November 2018 Spoiler Spoiler Alert for Issue 13 issued November 2018: On page 6 Anatole Leonard is referenced. Lisa’s dad is re-named from Donald Hayes to Nicholas Hayes. Lisa’s mom is alive in this timeline. Some fans speculated the canon of Robotech could be kept intact by having this SDF-1 being in a time loop of its own but Lisa’s mom should have died in a car accident when Lisa was very young. On page 17 a character named Persy Satori is assigned by Evil Roy to replace Ben Dixon. On page 25 Good Roy is shown as a prisoner of Lazlo Zand inside the SDF-1.

Chronocidal Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Lynn Kyle as played by He Man in a wig? It's really hilarious, every time they put out a few good panels of mecha action, the characters turn into wax dummies. Far as the story goes.... you know what this reminds me of? As long as we're messing with stable time loops, I think they've decided to go the Sea Lab 2021 route, where every new iteration becomes further and further deformed. Maybe they'll send off the entire Robotech universe by having every generation imprisoned in a gym and playing volleyball for eternity, while He Man Hunter and Minmay the Hutt make out under the bleachers.

Knight26 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) So, did they shrink the Invid or can Karl Riber change size now? Also, given that Max and Myria know each other already her infiltration really can't happen, and that he knows it is her running amok inside the SDF-1 (quoting Rorschach no less) him getting involved with her later gets far more complicated, like he's a traitor complicated.

The female characters are actually realistically proportioned this time around... you don't see any of the bad pornstar boob jobs the Waltrips loved to draw on every female character, and you see some variation in body types instead of Tommy Yune's insistence on drawing every woman with an identical pornstar body and in a skintight catsuit.

On the other hand, at least giving everyone identical bodies keeps the characters consistent from frame to frame. This comic looks like they keep rotating through an endless supply of stunt doubles, and forgetting to edit them out in post production. 3 minutes ago, RavenHawk said: In all fairness, I think this is actually a pretty decent cover.
