Earlier this year, it was announced that Titan Comics partnered up with Harmony Gold to revive Robotech in comic book form. They hired writer Brian Wood (Briggs Land, DMZ) to develop it with artists Marco Turini and Marco Lesko. Today we have our first look at the revival thanks to a teaser trailer that was released featuring some of the art from the comic. I've also included a few comic panels that were released.

Created by re-editing three different anime series, “Robotech” originally aired in syndication in the United States in 1984. It’s a sci-fi epic in which the human race finds itself on the brink of annihilation and under attack by a fleet of gigantic alien warships capable of destroying Earth. Humanity’s only hope for survival lies within the secrets of Robotechnology, which allows humans to develop powerful transforming robotic systems and interstellar spacecraft.

As you'll see, Robotech has a new look. Some of the designs remind me a lot of the video game Halo. When talking about the new series and it's new look, Wood said:

"Robotech has received direct adaptations in comics before, but it's not been modernized like we’re doing it now. If you think of the new J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek as an example of a way to honor something and also update it, that’s the approach we’re talking."

I actually like the direction that they are taking this. The trailer below actually starts with showing off footage from the original animated series, and then focuses on the new direction they are taking it. The art looks great, but what I'm looking forward to seeing is what they do with the story. Check out the trailer and art below and let us know what you think! The comic will hit stores this July.
