Strange Machine Games announced today that they will be releasing a new tabletop RPG in the Robotech universe called Robotech: The Macross Saga. The book is being written by Jeff Mechlinski and Bryan Young, who are taking 40+ years of history from the IP and building a whole new adventure around it. The initial book […]
Brenden Fletcher and Elmer Damaso are rebooting, remixing and relaunching Robotech as Robotech Remix from Titan Comics, beginning in October. And I guess it must be up for FOC this week as Titan Comics have this big preview to share… Robotech Remix #1 A radical reimagining of the Sci Fi mecha anime classic. A new […]
At San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, fans of fan-favorite 1980s anime Robotech got some exciting news. Writer Brendan Fletcher and artist Elmer Damaso will launch a new ongoing series in October called Robotech Remix which promises to "take beloved characters and iconic mecha to places fans have never seen before." The seeds were sown for […]
Issue 20 of Robotech opens with a pretty impressive space battle between the defenders of the SDF-1 and Supreme Commander Dolza's Zentraedi invasion fleet. It's a harried affair, with Rick Hunter leading a fresh offensive aboard the Skull-One, the veritech fighter formerly piloted by his "big brother", Roy Fokker. Captain Lisa Hayes is summoned to […]
The old joke's punchline is something along the lines of "I think I can see my house from up here". On the opening page of Robotech #19, I can clearly see the crater where the house I grew up in was. The Zentraedi fleet, under orders from Supreme Commander Dolza, has wiped Los Angeles off […]
In a move certain to be controversial to people that this effects in no way whatsoever, Strange Machine Games has announced that they will be using gender-neutral pronouns in their upcoming Robotech role-playing game. I'm really excited about this: we've made the decision to use gender-neutral language for the Robotech RPG rulebook. It may not […]
I am still pretty thrilled with Titan Comics' re-imagining of Robotech, that stalwart nostalgic defender of early '80s anime adaptations. The team behind Robotech has taken some daring chances in their storytelling, and so far have made a very well-traveled path seem new and unpredictable without losing track of what makes the journey worth taking […]
Claudia Grant has confronted the clone of Roy Fokker about the murder of Captain Henry Gloval, and barely survives the encounter in the opening pages of Robotech #17, Titan Comic's excellent re-telling of the classic anime series. Simon Furman's script continues to take the well-established Robotech narrative and turn it coyly on its ear; Karl […]
Reading Titan Comics' Robotech series can be an interesting exercise for old-school protoculture addicts. Simon Furman isn't slavishly retelling the original Macross era storyline, and fans of the existing canon might find themselves gnashing their teeth at that. Instead, they would be well served to give the series a chance; there are plenty of surprises […]
The biggest challenge facing me while reviewing Robotech #15 was the 12 year old inside me, clinging desperately to this sacred, animated alter of my childhood. In reflecting on my resistance to Titan Comics' adaptation of the franchise, I realized that the creative team behind the book must have faced the same barriers while bringing […]
Andy Muschietti, already announced for Warner Bros. live-action version of Attack on Titan and Sony's Robotech film, has added yet another project to his slate. He has been tapped by Warner Bros. again to adapt the classic H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine for the big screen. Andy and his producing partner and sister Barbera […]

Bait, located at 920 5th Ave. and a short walk from the San Diego Convention Center, is always a fun spot to go to during SDCC. They offer a lot of designer toys and figures, along with statues, apparel, and some of the coolest sneaker drops there are. This year during SDCC they will have […]
Toynami will have a plethora of exclusives available this month at SDCC. Naruto figures, Acid Rain vehicles, Mega Man keyrings, a Robotech diecast model, and even a Hello Kitty and Hello Sanrio playsets. The main event is for sure the set of carded Robotech figures they will be offering. The set includes 5 individually carded, […]

And the Robotech universe will never be the same… as it was for the previous three issues! Titan Comics is nothing like the big two! They're not about to sit around and wait until series attrition brings a comic book close to cancellation before killing off a major character to spike sales. Instead, despite Robotech […]
It was announced just now at the London Film and Comic Con, which I have somehow found myself attending as a guest. In a panel featuring Harmony Gold's president of animation Tommy Yune and Titan Comics editor Chris Thompson, they were joined by famed Transformers writer and Death's Head co-creator Simon Furman. And, as well as showing […]
Let's get this part out of the way: I'm not familiar with Robotech. It's before my time, and I'm not super big into anime or manga. There's good stuff there, Akira is an amazing movie, and I have nothing against it. I watched Dragonball Z and Naruto growing up. I dabbled in Attack on Titan, […]
The first issue of Titan's Robotech comic book relaunch doesn't hit stores until July 26, but final order cutoff is this Mnday, June 26, so Titan is hoping to get readers, and retailers, hyped with a lettered preview, and an invitation to return to the franchise's roots: Return to the fan-favorite Macross Saga that began […]
