Classic ’80s anime, Robotech – currently airing on Crunchyroll – returns to comics this summer with a new series from Titan Comics, writer, Brandon Easton (Transformers and Kamen Rider Zero-One) and artist Simone Ragazzoni (Power Rangers).
“Set after the devastating events of the Macross saga, ROBOTECH: RICK HUNTER will see Rick Hunter face an all new threat, along with the ghosts of his past — when a Zentraedi splinter group attacks Yokohama, Rick is called to investigate! Piloting the new prototype YF-4 Veritech, Rick encounters old friends and new enemies, all while recounting the moments of his life that shaped most epic moments in the Robotech universe!”
Talking about this new series, Titan Comics editor Calum Collins said:
“Working on the new series has been so exciting as we’ve managed to bring together a team of Robotech superfans to tell an all new story, as well as flashing back to the Macross Saga to provide fans with exciting, never before seen moments! Our writer Brandon Easton and artist Simone Ragazzoni both have a deep reverence for Robotech and are bringing their A-game with an explosive plot, deep emotional scenes, and gorgeous artwork — in short Robotech fans are in for a real treat with Robotech: Rick Hunter!”
The debut issue will feature covers by artists including Inhyuk Lee, Derrick Chew, Simone Ragazzoni, Josh Burcham and Nahuel Grego and goes on sale on August 2nd, 2023 from Titan Comics.
