Voltron #1 Sells Out
Featuring covers by the always classy Alex Ross and writing by Brandon Thomas, Voltron #1 continues the saga of five young pilots who command their robotic lions. They protected the planet Arus, ruled by Princess Allura, from the evil King Zarkon of Planet Doom and monsterous Robeasts.
In Voltron #1, the Voltron Force is on the verge of eradicating King Zarkon's regime. Of course, Zarkon has a knack for hanging around, primarily in the form of knowing something about Voltron that could change everything for the Galazy Alliance.
In "Voltron #1", ultimate victory has never been closer for the Voltron Force. King Zarkon's brutal regime has been pushed to the edges of the galaxy, left to wage a series of desperate and losing battles to claim innocent victims while they still can. But Zarkon knows something---a secret about Voltron over a hundred years old that could change everything for the Galaxy Alliance.
There's no word on a second printing, but I'm sure Dynamite knows there are probably still some people out there that want this first issue. Stay tuned.
Full press release after the jump.
DYNAMITE'S "VOLTRON" #1 SELLS OUT
On the heels of their recent string of sell-outs, Dynamite Entertainment continues the trend as their new comic, Voltron, has sold out and is going to an immediate second print!
Under a series of amazing covers by master painter, Alex Ross, and written by Dynamite's own up-and-coming writer, Brandon Thomas, Dynamite presents all new adventures of the mighty robot hero, Voltron. Originally released in 1984, Voltron: Defender of the Universe quickly skyrocketed to be the number one children's program in the United States. Merchandising rapidly followed and more than 100 different Voltron products hit shelves around the world.
The original TV series featured a team of five young pilots - the Voltron Force - who commanded five robotic lions that could be combined to form the mighty robot warrior, Voltron. They protected the planet Arus, ruled by Princess Allura, from the evil King Zarkon of Planet Doom and monsterous Robeasts.
In "Voltron #1", ultimate victory has never been closer for the Voltron Force. King Zarkon's brutal regime has been pushed to the edges of the galaxy, left to wage a series of desperate and losing battles to claim innocent victims while they still can. But Zarkon knows something---a secret about Voltron over a hundred years old that could change everything for the Galaxy Alliance. This isn't the Voltron we all know, but one redefined and re-imagined by those he and his adventures have inspired over the years. This is Generation Voltron...
