Amusingly, in it he comes off as something of a Gary Stu character himself, being inserted into pre-existing Robotech scenes, being generally praised for his awesomeness, getting his own custom Veritech and so onAlex Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08191818755928728576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486936426905794249.post-76799197778782187402013-07-19T14:55:20.454-07:002013-07-19T14:55:20.454-07:00I have no first-hand experience to confirm or try ...I have no first-hand experience to confirm or try to deny the assorted criticisms of Dynamite Entertainment I've already heard, but I do have the vague suspicion the comic might be more a matter of "Robotech characters in a very Voltron-flavoured setting" than anything... So far as "new Robotech product at last" goes, it is a bit peculiar. You have, of course, written MSTings of two previous "starting points" for Robotech comics...Keith Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089472514199200547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1486936426905794249.post-66403628045470181742013-07-19T14:28:43.163-07:002013-07-19T14:28:43.163-07:00Wasn't Jack Archer from the video game?Wasn't Jack Archer from the video game?

I suppose I took note of this story deliberately invoking "Macross" (and then wondered about it including "Decepticons" instead of "Destrons"), but started noting various "Robotech-isms" well before you pointed out "Jack Archer"; pointing out all of them might not have been that funny, of course. Generally, the "riffing" did seem pretty good to me.Keith Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089472514199200547noreply@blogger.com
