“Robotech Free Comic Book Day 2019” By Simon Furman & Brenden Fletcher & Hendry Prasetya Review

Several years ago, a mysterious space-ship crashed on Marcross Island… in the intervening years, the people of Earth used the ‘Robotechnology’ from the ship to significantly advance their own technology. The ship – named by the humans as the Super-Dimension Fortress – actually belongs to a race of giant aliens, the Zentraedi. As the ship prepared to launch for the first time, the Zentraedi attacked and the crew of the SDF-1 were forced to space-fold away – taking a chunk of Macross City (and its 70,000 citizens) with them.
