Comic Series

    Robotech II: The Sentinels [Book 1] #1-16
  • Released: 1988-90 Not long before Comico's final issue of Robotech and subsequent closure, Eternity would launch the longest-running Robotech comic series. The first book bears the closest resemblance to the proposed TV series, which was edited into a feature-length special. The initial sixteen issues also roughly correspond with The Devil's Hand, the first Sentinels novel.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels, Book 2: #1-21
  • Released: 1990-93 Continues the long-running adventures of Rick Hunter and the SDF-3. Of all the Sentinels comics, this segment hews most closely to the novels, corresponding with Dark Powers, the second Sentinels novel.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels, Book 3: #1-8
  • Released: 1993-94 This series is one of three Robotech comics that ended up being released by two different publishers in the midst of its run. With Malibu Comics' elimination of its Eternity label and subsequent acquisition by Marvel, publishing duties of the Robotech comics are passed on to Academy Comics in mid-1994.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: Wedding Special #1-2
  • Released: 1989 This two-part story, taking place between Robotech II: The Sentinels, Book 1 #6 and 7, covers the wedding of Rick Hunter and Lisa Hayes. Note that while Rick's tuxedo in the comics matches the one seen in the feature-length special, Lisa's gown is totally different.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: The Malcontent Uprisings #1-12
  • Released: 1989-90 Though Eternity's first spinoff series bears the Sentinels name, the story takes place on Earth following the Macross Saga and prior to the departure of the SDF-3. This storyline was also released in novel form as The Zentraedi Rebellion.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: CyberPirates #1-4
  • Released: 1991 Just as anime cyberpunk was hitting its peak, this Sentinels spinoff was the first Robotech comic based around a character not originally from the animated series. This lead character, Terry Weston, also shows up again in Invid War comic series and The Masters' Gambit novel.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: The Untold Story
  • Released: 1993 The first Robotech comic marked for "Mature Audiences", this one-shot expands the debut issue of Robotech II: The Sentinels, Book 3 with a new introductory sequence and additional story pages.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: The Illustrated Handbook #1-3
  • Released: 1991 A series of sourcebooks drawing from model sheets created for the Sentinels feature-length special, along with new illustrations, character profiles, mecha statistics, and other details relating to the comic book adaptation of The Sentinels.
  • Robotech II: The Sentinels: Swimsuit Spectacular
  • Full color, Released: 1992 You can't blame a fiscally responsible publisher for addressing the needs of market demand in a capitalist society. Academy Comics would continue the buff and barely-clad tradition with a Winter Wonderland issue.
  • Robotech Genesis: The Legend of Zor #1-6
  • Full color, Released: 1992 This prequel reaches far back into the life of Zor, the father of Robotechnology, with events loosely adapted from the novel The End of the Circle. The first issue was released in both a regular and a numbered edition with a different cover, foil logo, and additional background material. Each issue also included two uncut trading cards.
  • Robotech: Return to Macross #1-12
  • Released: 1993-94 The first Macross prequel released after Comico's highly successful graphic novel, this series juxtaposes events surrounding the restoration of the SDF-1 on Macross Island with the Zentraedi search for the lost ship. Continued by Academy Comics in mid-1994.
  • Robotech: Invid War #1-18
  • Released: 1992-93 A dramatic take on the Invid conquest of Earth from the perspectives of Colonel Wolfe and Major Carpenter that leads towards, and weaves into, the events of the New Generation.
  • Robotech: Invid War: Aftermath #1-6
  • Released: 1993-94 This alternative post-Invid War storyline, which pits the characters of the New Generation against one another for control of the city of Belmont, bears no relation to the End of the Circle novel nor The Shadow Chronicles. Continued by Academy Comics in mid-1994.
  • Robotech: Firewalkers
  • Released: 1993 Originally a series of shorts collected into a one-shot comic, this storyline branches off from The Invid War #8 and leads up to Lancer's crash-landing on Earth.
