Dynamite Entertainment proudly announces that they have acquired the
rights to publish comic books based on the beloved science fiction
anime, Robotech®. In a unique sub-licensing arrangement with
DC Entertainment and with the Harmony Gold USA, Dynamite Entertainment
will publish a new series beginning with a Robotech / Voltron crossover event. This crossover marks the first time uniting the popular Robotech cast with the five lions of Voltron, a fan-favorite World Events Production property.
The Robotech series debuted in 1985, an adaptation combining concepts from three Japanese anime series (Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Genesis Climber Mospeada, and Super Dimension Century Southern Cross)
into a new, cohesive narrative. It followed three generations of Earth
soldiers who salvaged and repurposed alien technology in combat against
consecutive extraterrestrial invasions, and was animated by the
renowned animation studio Tatsunoko Production Co.
Voltron,
based on the story of five robotic lions piloted by a team of brave
space explorers that combine to form a mighty metallic hero, launched in
the U.S. in September of 1984 and quickly became a #1 rated animated
series that will celebrate its 30th Anniversary in 2014.
