voltron comic download torrent Comic books. Comic books in the Voltron franchise are pieces of fiction that extend the multiple canons. Over the three decades since the debut of Voltron: Defender of the Universe in 1984 there have been multiple publishers that would produce their own separate series for the franchise. Among them were continuations of TV series (with the exception of Voltron: The Third Dimension) that would run alongside the airing of its respective series. Other publishers would produce their own universe separate from any canon established by a TV series or would be loosely based off of it as a reboot. Contents. Japanese continuities. Terebi Land (1981 - 1984) Page from Terebi Land's March 1981 chapter of the Hyakujūō Golion manga. Terebi Land (also known as Television Land or TV Land) was a Japanese children's television magazine that focused on various anime and tokusatsu. In it were interviews, artwork, and individual manga chapters of TV series that were airing at the time. Terebi Land would publish many of Toei's super robot franchises including Beast King GoLion, Armored Fleet DaiRugger XV, and Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. Tsuchiyama Yoshiki, of Cyborg 009 fame, would be the illustrator for Beast King GoLion's manga, whereas Tsuhara Yoshiaki would illustrate the latter two. Like the tie-in comics for series as recent as Voltron: Legendary Defender, these manga chapters would run alongside its respective anime series as it airs. However, they would have different plots while using the same characters. For instance, Shirogane dies in both incarnations but would he would die under different circumstances in both versions. Art styles would also vary vastly depending on the artist. Whereas the Voltron Force comics would have different artists drawing each issue, they would follow the animation models as close as possible. In contrast, Tsuhara Yoshiaki's work for both Armored Fleet DaiRugger XV and Lightspeed Electroid Albegas would bear a vastly different art style where the character models wouldn't exactly match their anime counterparts. This is most pronounced in how he draws Aki Manabu and Daisaku Enjoji, the protagonists of their respective franchises. Like most manga chapters released in Terebi Land, they would not receive a full manga volume compilation of the chapters. Super Robot Wars W (2007) 4koma panel joking about the Golion mecha having no manes. Super Robot Wars is a Japanese franchise by Banpresto, a subsidiary of Bandai. Each entry in its franchise would be a crossover of multiple unrelated series through the license of their rights holder. Golion and Albegas have been featured in separate Super Robot Wars games. However, the latter is not owned by World Events Productions but rather remains an IP owned by Toei who provided the license for both franchises to be featured in their respective games. Each game would have their own set of tie-in standalone manga published by multiple companies. For example, one would release manga that covers a story arc that would resemble a game whereas the other would release a comedic four-panel strip manga that parodies the game and its included series. The following manga released for Super Robot Wars W are. by Action Comics by Kobunsha by DNA Media Comics. Super Robot Wars W and its tie-in manga would also be the last form of Beast King GoLion media that was officially licensed by Toei. Following the release of the game, WEP and Toei would have a lawsuit over the legal rights over the franchise due to the live-action movie being produced without prior negotiation between the two. Voltron continuities. Modern Comics (1985) Following in the footsteps of Transformers, Voltron would follow its campaign of having a TV show, toys, and a comic book to promote the franchise. Voltron's debut in comics would be Voltron: Defender of the Unvierse by Modern Comics, a division of Charlton Comics, in 1985. The mini-series spanned three issues, all of them covering different stories that do not conflict with each other or the events of the TV show. Because of the fact that they do not diverge from the main series, it is assumed that they take place in that canon at any point. Devil's Due Publishing (2003 - 2008) After almost a 20 year absence in the comic book industry, Devil's Due License acquired the license to be the producer of their own line of Voltron comics. They produced Voltron: Defender of the Universe, the very first reboot in the franchise. While sharing the same name with the original 1984 series, it would borrow many concepts and modernized them into a new story. For the first volume, named Revolutions, the comics were published by Dreamwave Comics and Image Comics. By the start of volume 2, named Paradise Lost, Devil's Due would be the sole publisher of the series. Due to low sales, it was ended early with it's true ending released in the Omnibus. Voltron: A Legend Forged would be the short sequel to the series written by a new author. The Devil's Due reboot of the series would prove to be influential in the succeeding comic book series and in Voltron Force. Elements such as the robotic mice and the adoption of "Kogane" as an official surname for a few incarnations of Keith would be present in other canons. Dynamite (2011 - 2016) In 2011, Dynamite Comics would be the next license-holder for the Voltron comics and release the second revamp. VIZ Media (2012 - 2014) VIZ Media, and its subsidiaries VIZ Kids and Perfect Square, published comics specifically for the Voltron Force franchise concurrently with Dynamite Comics. Whereas Dynamite Comics had their own separate canon timelines, VIZ's comic license was specifically for media that directly related to the TV series. Lion Forge Comics (2016 - Ongoing) With the debut of Voltron: Legendary Defender by DreamWorks Animation, Lion Forge became the next and current license-holder for Voltron comics right after Dynamite's license ended. The Voltron: Legendary Defender Comic is a series of comic issues published by Lion Forge Comics, drawn by Digital Art Chefs, and written by show head writers Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson. The first comic was published on July 13, 2016. Once all separate issues are released, each storyline is complied into a paperback volume (abbreviated "TPB" for "trade paperback"). Beginning June 15, 2017, the comics were released on the DreamWorksTV YouTube channel as "motion comics" with animated panels and voice acting from the main series cast. Volume 1 Issue 1. When Team Voltron takes on a dangerous training mission in deep space, Coran, Princess Allura's majordomo, is captured by an ancient enemy. It will take teamwork, smarts, and, of course, Voltron, to save their friend's life. Contents. After saving the Balmera, Allura is exhausted and must rest. Coran decides to take the Paladins for additional training to the Karthulian System, the training grounds of the original Paladins, while the princess is recovering. They plan to only be gone a day. The first stop is the Fripping Bulgogian, a restaurant Coran describes as "the best nullvillary in the fourteen tangents"; he considers the location not dangerous because it was a favored Paladin hangout - despite its current uneasy atmosphere. Unfortunately for the team, some aliens are already seated at the table reserved for the original Paladins and inscribed with their names, as well as that of King Alfor. The aliens are not inclined to move, and neither is Coran fazed by their hostile nature. The arrival of his old friend and current "Mu" of the quadrant, Kythylian Mu, is enough to scare the other aliens away. The pleasant reunion is short-lived as Kythylian Mu mentions that Coran owes a large sum of money for a bet 10,000 years ago, and the job of a Mu is to ensure debts are paid. Coran does have the money on him, but there are two problems with it according to Kythylian Mu: the first problem is that Coran's money is in the form of Altean crown bills, Groggeries, which became obsolete when the Galra Empire established the GAC ("Galra Authorized Currency") as the universe's official currency. The second problem is interest. Due to Coran's ten millennia absence, his debt has increased substantially to the point that selling the Voltron Lions for double their worth to Zarkon would not be enough to cover his debt. Kythylian Mu takes Coran hostage and promises the release him if the Paladins can get a Yalexian pearl from a monstrous Yalex within a week. Coran pleads for the Paladins to not undertake such a terrifyingly impossible mission, but Kythylian Mu claims nothing should be impossible for the Paladins of Voltron, especially those who seek to defeat Zarkon. The Paladins accept the deal and follow Kythylian Mu's directions to the planet Krell. When the Paladins arrive in their Lions, they notice a settlement where they might gain some information on the Yalex, but before they can land, a massive mantis-like creature appears from the ground underneath and catches the Yellow Lion in its mouth. The creature's outer shell is too strong for the the Lions' tail and mouth cannons, so Shiro must free the Yellow Lion using the Black Lion's jaw blade. Fearing how the Yellow Lion's armor barely withstood the creature's jaws, the team forms Voltron to battle it. Voltron's saber is unable to cause any damage, but the team does not want to leave to continue their search because they believe the settlement nearby will be attacked instead. When Lance mentions they need a weapon as powerful as the creature's blades, Keith devises a plan to win: catching the creature's blades with Voltron's saber and turning its blades against its own torso. The plan is successful. The villagers from the nearby settlement who arrive at the scene of the violent battle are dismayed at the sight of the fallen creature. Unfortunately, the deceased creature turns out to be the Guardian of Krell that protected the village, not the dangerous Yalex. Voltron: Legendary Defender Comics. Voltron: Legendary Defender Comics is a series of comic issues published by Lion Forge Comics. The first comic was released on July 13, 2016. Each issue is written by show head writers Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson, and illustrated by Digital Art Chefs. Each storyline of comic issues is compiled into a paperback volume (abbreviated "TPB" for "trade paperback") after all separate issues have been released. Contents. Volumes. Volume 1. This takes place in Season One after "Rebirth" and before "Crystal Venom". The first issue establishes the story while each subsequent issue focuses on a specific Paladin: Lance, Pidge and Hunk until Issue #5. Though Keith and Shiro don't have issues focused on them, they do play a critical role in Issues 1 and 5 respectively. Issue #1. Coran decides to take the Paladins to a set of training grounds to improve their skills as Voltron pilots. He encourages Princess Allura to stay behind in order to recover after reviving the Balmera. Corran takes the team to the Karthulian System, the ancient training grounds of the original Paladins which has a variety of extreme natural environments on the planets perfectly suited to each Lion. He instructs them to fly towards a gravy halo with a restaurant called "The Fripping Bulogian." Once they enter, they encounter an old acquaintance of Coran's named Kythylian Mu, who owns the quadrant they're standing in. However, Coran has apparently amassed a large debt due to betting on a sports team 10,000 years ago and not paying back, resulting in a massive inflation and drastically increasing it. When Coran refuses to pay, Kythylian grabs him and challenges the Paladins to retrieve a Yalexian Pearl from Planet Krell in exchange for Coran's freedom. The Paladins agree and fly over to Planet Krell to find it, but encounter a giant green monster that starts fighting them. They form Voltron when the creature proves too tough and when a simple blazing sword attack doesn't seem to dent it, Keith suggests ditching their shield and pushing the sword with both hands down the middle, which works and kills the beast. Afterwards, residents of a nearby town are panicking now that their guardian has been slain, confusing the Paladins. Issue #2. The Voltron Paladins exit their lions to talk to the planet's bug-like citizens. They are berated by the town's leader Elderbug Blate, who is angry they've destroyed the guardian who was defending them from the beast known only as "Abomination". He also knows the location of the Pearl but refuses to tell anything to the Paladins. As the Paladins suggest defeating the Abomination themselves to make up for their mistake, Hunk is distracted by the food prepared for the Guardian feast. Blate at first refuses to accept their help, but after Hunk improves their dish, he becomes willing to tell them where the Pearl is after they defeat Abomination. Abomination arrives on the planet, forcing the Paladins to form Voltron. None of the Paladin's heavy attacks appear to be working thanks to Abomination's regenerative abilities, but Hunk gets an idea after he realizes Abomination likes the smell of the town's food. He figures that the monster is hungry, so the Paladins can get him away from town by preparing a dish with their lions. After disbanding Voltron, Hunk commands Shiro to distract the beast, Pidge to grab shrubbery from a nearby forest, Lance to gather water for the stew, and Keith to heat the stew up with his lion's fire breath. Hunk drags the guardian's body to the stew and tosses it in. The beast is satisfied by the meal and stops fighting. The bug citizens thank the Paladins by offering them the food from their feast and resolve to prepare Abomination similar dishes to prevent any more deaths. Blate tells them he doesn't know directly where the Pearl is, but that Princess Malocoti knows and needs to be rescued from her captor. Issue #3. This issue focuses on Lance and has a fantasy-esque narrative to it as Lance is determined to prove himself a hero and save the princess. Before leaving to her castle, they update Allura on what's happened so far. During the briefing, Allura snaps at Lance for his failed attempts at flirting with her. The Paladins arrive at the castle and spot a woman on the top they assume to be Princess Malocoti, and discover she's being held captive by a giant, orange dragon surrounding the castle. They form Voltron and try firing Hunk's shoulder cannon, but the dragon counters it with fire breath. The dragon is swift enough to dodge Keith's sword and the crew try to come up with different strategies to defeat it. However, after noticing that the dragon isn't trying to fight back and is yelling at them in a manner similar to Allura, Lance deduces that the dragon IS Princess Malocoti and tells Keith to put away the sword, confident she won't hurt them. The woman at the castle turns out to be an evil witch that unleashes powerful magic against the Paladins, forcing them back to their Lions. She manages to take down Keith, Hunk, and Shiro, leaving only Lance and Pidge left. Lance starts panicking when he can't find Pidge and dodges multiple attacks from the witch. Pidge manages to sneak up on the witch with her cloaking during the chaos and pin her down. Princess Malocoti is returned to her normal self after the witch's defeat. She thanks the Paladins for breaking her curse from the witch, which prevented her from attacking the sorceress or telling anyone about it (as she couldn't physically talk as a dragon). She is especially thankful towards Pidge for defeating the witch much to Lance's displeasure. The Princess warns them Pidge will have to overcome a number of trials to retrieve the Pearl, which Pidge is confident she'll be able to beat. Lance only becomes frustrated even further when Pidge starts becoming the focus of the narrative. Issue #4. Pidge's narrative is done in the style of computer coding. After being instructed by Malocoti, the Paladins go to a desert and find a ziggurat. When they find it and ponder where their next destination is, the pyramid transforms into a being known as the Great Universal Sphinx. The Sphinx questions which one of them is the most knowledgeable and they all agree it's Pidge. He tells her she will be tested in body, mind and spirit and forms back into the ziggurat for the Paladins to enter. When they enter, the Sphinx releases spores to take control of Pidge's friends and tells her to proceed, as she must defeat all of them in combat. Though Pidge struggles at first, she reveals that she's been keeping a dossier on each of her teammates and knows their weaknesses. She defeats Lance up close because he specializes at long-range combat, knocks Hunk off of his feet because his weight throws off his balance, shoots a rock in the ceiling to knock down Keith since he isn't as aware of his surroundings and while she initially doesn't have anything on Shiro, she figures out his weakness by hacking his cybernetic hand and taking him down while he's distracted. Her friends (minus Keith) become more skeptical of her after she reveals she has been keeping track of their weaknesses. In the second challenge, Pidge must win a game of chess. The Sphinx tells the group he's visited Earth before and helped the planet perfect the game itself. He then reveals Pidge is playing against herself as a spore appears and attaches itself to Pidge's head. The spore scans Pidge's mind so it can use her own skills against her, and she struggles to come up with a strategy. Pidge then figures out a way to win by taking advantage of the strengths of her teammates. She has Lance in charge of the rooks, Hunk in charge of the bishops, Keith in charge of the knights and Shiro to keep track of the pawns. The plan works when her teammates nearly run their course, allowing her to use the queen to win. The Sphinx then reforms and knocks them out of the pyramid to begin Pidge's final challenge, a riddle. "What can be totally broken apart and yet reform stronger than ever?" Pidge says the answer is Voltron, but the Sphinx tells her it's incorrect and is "Hope." The Paladins think the riddle is not set up well, as it's applicable to a number of other objects and concepts. The Sphinx still refuses to give them the win, so the Paladins respond by forming Voltron and challenging him to a fight. When Voltron overpowers the Sphinx, he gives in and reveals that he makes the riddle open- ended so the challengers could get it wrong and he'd feel superior. He then tells them that the Pearl is in the Evershadow of the planet's moon. The Paladins leave, determined to save Coran. Issue #5. Voltron flies over the planet's atmosphere to find the Yalex, but are unsure of what it is. They follow a four-legged creature into the Temple of the Yalex, where he explains that their people are bringing about the Yalex by growing grain and then drying, masticating and preserving it in the cuspidors to pour into the eye of the Evershadow to feed the spirit of the moon which will eventually destroy them all. He confuses the Paladins with defining what the Pearl is. The Yalex arrives and destroys the area where the Paladins are standing in, but they manage to escape and form Voltron to take on the planet- destroying monster. It overwhelms the Paladins by shooting lasers out of its multiple eyes, but Shiro manages to locate the Pearl in the middle of the Yalex amongst its eyes. Using a strategy formed by Shiro, the Yalex is seemingly destroyed along with the Pearl. The priests thank the Paladins for saving their lives and give them that the Pearl survived the explosion. Voltron takes the giant Pearl and delivers it back to the gravity halo. It is revealed Coran was actually in no danger and that their mission to get the Pearl WAS their training on the planet. While this made Coran win a bet against Kythylian, the true purpose was to motivate them into saving Krell from the Yalex as they knew Voltron was the only thing that could stop it, and now Kythylian can sell the Pearl to give himself defenses against Zarkon. Volume 2. This takes place within Season Two after "Shiro's Escape" and ends prior to "Greening the Cube". Issue #1. The Paladins of Voltron respond to a distress call and discover alien settlers on a mining planet under attack by the Galra. But the attempted rescue is only the beginning of more exciting adventures. Voltron. Defender of the universe, first formed 10,000 years ago to protect the galaxy from evil. A mighty warrior standing at over 100 meters tall and assembled from five robot Lions, Voltron inflicts colossal blows, leaps staggering distances, and wields an arsenal of lasers, sabers, missiles, and the invincible blazing sword. Voltron is the giant robot formed by the combination of all five Voltron Lions. It was created by King Alfor from the Quintessence-infused ore of a Trans-Reality Comet. It has been ten thousand years since it was last formed, and its return is brought about when Shiro returns to Earth a year after his capture by the Galra Empire, drawing Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge together to locate the Blue Lion and use it to find the Castle of Lions on Arus. They reawaken its sleeping inhabitants, Princess Allura and Coran, and these last living Alteans help locate the subsequent Lions to form Voltron and defend the universe against Zarkon's empire. As of "The End is the Beginning", it is permanently deformed due to the Lions being left in space pilotless. Contents. Lions. Voltron is housed in the Castle of Lions as five separate components in the feline form of a lion. Each Lion that comprises a part of Voltron has standard as well as unique abilities; all Lions have some measure of sapience and must choose their pilots themselves, seeking those whose Quintessence mirrors their own. [2] The lions are linked with the spirit of their chosen pilots even in their deaths. These pilots are called Paladins . Paladins are given a special device known as a Bayard that allows them to unlock special abilities through their Lion for Voltron to wield. The Lions and Paladins are usually color-coded to match each other. When formed as Voltron, the Paladins pilot the giant robot in unison. The Lions and known Paladins are as follows: Weapons & Abilities. Stats. Damage. Armor. Speed. It is also possible for a Lion to split off from the robot while it remains otherwise formed and use its own abilities, and particularly for the Green Lion to detach its head and act as a distraction for its enemies. [4] [5] Voltron is powered by Quintessence, which can be amplified for offensive and passive abilities by Allura via her energy manipulation and Altean alchemy. [6] [5] In addition, when a Paladin's Bayard is inserted into the control console of a Lion, it acts as a key to unlock a large, powerful weapon for Voltron to wield based on the Paladin, such as a saber when Keith inserts a Bayard into the Red Lion or Black Lion. [7] [8] Having multiple Bayards inserted into their respective Lions' control consoles will activate upgraded abilities. Another weapon is the shoulder cannon which is formed when the Yellow Paladin inserts his bayard. When the Green and Red bayards are inserted Voltron gets a double sword ability. [9] [10] While within the Quintessence Field, Voltron is able to remain at full power continuously, though at the risk of the Paladins within. While in that environment, Voltron demonstrated the ability to shoot lasers from its eyes, as well as from its sword. Voltron I. Voltron is a shape-changing giant mecha robot first featured in the 1980s animated television series Voltron, Defender of the Universe . There has since been a second series, made in the 1990s using CGI techniques. The 1980s Voltron series was based on two vaguely-related Japanese anime series (both originally produced by Toei Animation & Bandai, who also produced the popular Super Sentai series in Japan). The anime was dubbed and strung together by North American television production and distribution company World Events. The series was not a straight dub, however, as much of the violence of the original Japanese series was removed (among other things).

Later episodes were based on the 1982 series Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (機甲艦隊 ダイラガーXV - Kikō Kantai Dairagā XV ), and changed the storyline considerably. In this iteration of Voltron, the Galaxy Alliance's home planets have been overcrowded, and a fleet of Explorers have been sent to look for new planets to colonize. Along the way, they attract the attention of the evil Drule, who proceeds to interfere with the explorers and the colonists. Since the Voltron of Planet Arus was too far away to help the explorers, a new Voltron is constructed to battle the Drule threat. This Voltron team consisted of 15 members and were divided into three teams of five, known respectively as the Land, Sea and Air Teams. Each team was specialized in gathering data or fighting in their area of expertise. Each team could also combine their vehicles into a bigger machine, with each combined vehicle differing amongst the three teams. These fighters were: The Aqua Fighter (Sea Team) The Turbo Terrain Fighter (Land Team) The Strato Fighter (Air Team) When necessary, all 15 vehicles combine to form the mighty Voltron. This Voltron in the toyline was referred to as Voltron I and also called the Vehicle Team, most likely due to it being closer to Earth than the more popular Voltron III which was also called the Lion Force. In the recent comic by Image and Devil's Due Publishing, this Voltron came about through the capture and study of the original Voltron. Thus, while machines cannot truly be cloned, this Voltron could be considered an imperfect clone of Voltron. The machine was referred to in one issue as V-15, and was actually attacked by the Lion Voltron in order to repair itself. Unlike in the animated series, which only had two crossovers with the Lion Force (once at the end of the Lion Force run and the other in the Fleet of Doom special which brought both Voltrons together), in which the two Voltron Forces were longstanding friends in most cases, the comics depicted Keith and Jeff having an antagonistic relationship with one another, particularly in regards to Voltron's supposed 'sneak attack' on the Vehicle Voltron. In early episodes, it was mentioned that the Vehicle Voltron once assembled had only five minutes of fuel. This was promptly forgotten during later episodes. (Wikipedia)
