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.
