I was nervous with how much this series deviated from the original series. Especially when Rick went blind.
But the showdown was a very satisfying ending to the first storyline.
I kind of hope they carry on to southern cross, New generation, or Sentinels next.

Definitely an alternate universe take on all the elements of the story. It’s not bad. Still worth the read and the effort

The writing and especially the art in these Robotech books have been so good. Thanks for hiring good artists on all fronts Titan!
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019
I have enjoyed the new Robotech comic series. As a fan of the original cartoon and book series by Jack McKinney, I was opened to the idea of this retell of the story. Yes, there were many changes to the story for a more updated feel which I was on board with. I felt that this volume was lackluster in the battle with Dolza's armada. Please be aware of SPOILERs.

For those familiar with the cartoon, this volume follows the episodes The Messenger and Force of Arms, where several Zentraedi come and assist the crew of the SDF-1. It culminates in the massive battle where the SDF-1 and their Veritech squadrons, with the help of Minmei singing "We Will Win" as the distraction, are able to defeat Dolza's force. Here, I thought that was what we were going to get...but it just doesn't deliver that same "punch". I know that this is deviating from the cartoon in order to build it's own story but this battle was anti-climatic. Also, (SPOILER ALERT) the kiss between Rick and Lisa seemed so unconvincing and came out of no where. Yes, you had "hints" of their relationship due to my familiarization with their story, but as a new fan, you would have felt "what? Why? I thought Rick was with Minmei!" Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the love triangle story and have always rooted for Lisa, but this seemed forced. Plus, Breetai and company's change of heart and wanting to support the humans seemed rushed as well.

I am already 5 volumes invested in this story and feel they are rushing this story. I am enjoying the art work and the addition of the Invid to bring harmony of the story by introducing them early enough for new readers, but I am disappointed in this pace.

Reviewed in Italy on December 21, 2020
Il volume è di ottima fattura, resistente e carta di buona qualità. Putroppo i disegni non mi hanno convinto e la storia non l'ho trovata avvincente come l'originale. Ovviamente sono gusti personali e lo consiglio agli amanti della saga.
