Knight26 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The interior art has definitely improved, but it looks like they gave the old guy a cover as a farewell gift. I wonder if the VFs will look any better with the new artist. The Focker cover actually looks pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they actually just flat out forgot to color in part of his hair there. Also, for being able to see "EVERYTHING", Rick's magical technicolor vision sure is leaving out a bunch of details from the other panels... like the angular hallway they're in.. and the two people walking in front of him.

Oh, being Robotech absolutely IS the reason it's bad... just not in the specific sense you mean. Robotech is, by any reasonable standard, a failed 80's cartoon property that is long past its use-by date and is largely only remembered for its epic amounts of legal baggage. Having a 100% failure rate in sequel and spinoff development over the last three decades left Robotech in a position where it has neither the money nor the brand awareness to draw competent people to the franchise. The creative staff managing the franchise is understaffed, underfunded, and hopelessly untalented. Consequently, the licensees the brand attracts are indie or incompetent, often both, and the few that aren't are totally phoning it in because Robotech just isn't a big enough deal for them to bother actually trying. Titan is arguably in the latter category, as they're clearly not giving this comic their A-game... or their B-game. It's actually come up a bit, but for the first dozen or so issues it was down around Q. 1 hour ago, Podtastic said: The reason its bad is that its not even aimed at the existing Robotech fans, but is instead just another totally warped and unnecessary reboot for Ztards. Oh my, no. No no no. They are ABSOLUTELY aiming this comic at existing Robotech fans. Existing Robotech fans are the only group that can be counted on to pick up this sad nostalgia circlejerk of a comic book under any circumstances. The only other reason anyone would look up this dreadful tome is for topics like this, where we can go "Gather 'round, gather 'round! Everyone look at the freak!".
