Volton in Comics, Robotech Voltron (2014)

Robotech Voltron is the latest offering in the Voltron universe, a limited run 5 issue mashup of two classic robot shows from the 80’s, Robotech and Voltron. The Author Tommy Yune has tried to stay true to the original source material which makes a very refreshing change from the radical departures we saw in Voltron and Voltron Year One. The art by Elmer Damaso is stylized in classic Anime which fits perfectly with both worlds. You will recognise immediately all your favorite characters from both shows.

So far this series gets two HUGE thumbs up from this Voltron Fan. Help support continuing new Voltron content and get it from Comixology or your local comic book store!
