Deconstructing Comics #853: The Strange History Of ‘Robotech’

by Erik Amaya

What if your first Star Wars movie were Return of the Jedi? You’d have questions! That’s how Tim felt once he got started reading Robotech II: The Sentinels volume 1, a comics continuation of the animated Robotech show that hit the US in 1985. Robotech was a combination of three different anime — why?? And why is it that, after all these years, the Robotech story doesn’t really progress? Tim discusses with longtime Robotech fan Erik Amaya of Comicon.com.
