Reviews and commentary on the vast and multi-faceted Robotech universe from its earliest days in 1985 to the post-Shadow Chronicles lull of 2008-2009.
JONATHAN L. SWITZER has written an awful lot about the 1985 animated series ROBOTECH, its sequels and spin-offs. Some of this writing has appeared in THE ART OF ROBOTECH: THE SHADOW CHRONICLES (Stone Bridge Press); other examples appear in the Appendices to the most recent editions of the ROBOTECH MASTERS and NEW GENERATION novels (Del Rey). He draws girls and cartoon dogs at WWW.SCWONKEY.COM, and spends his days selling electronical goods at RadioShack and sleeping a lot less than he used to.

You're thinking about doing a episode on Robotech comics? What is there to think about? As Nike says, just do it! The comics are what kept me going from about 1987/88 when I discovered them until HG pulled the license from AP. Of course, that was the dawning of Robotech.com, which had it's own high and low points over the years. That could be a possible future topic, too.

Well, to be fair, how many all-new mecha designs are there in Shadow Chronicles? Three and a half? It doesn't excuse the lousy execution of that section, but it might explain it (oh, and the "big, big screen grab, lots of smaller pictures around it" layout). However, the section on the ship designs -- new AND old -- is pretty good.
Still, yeah, a mecha show artbook with a less than satisfactory mecha section does sound like it's rather missing the point, doesn't it? *sigh*s

Haha, I understand... It's just that after seeing those Sentinels mecha lineart, I was kinda bummed that when you showed the mecha lineart I was like "Oh no, not the Mospeada lineart and the Prelude mecha lineart that is so freely available on the net."
The RPG is probably the only HG merchandise I'm really looking forward too.

I wouldn't mind seeing something on the comics, too. The Macross, Masters and New Generation stuff is pretty easy to come by around here, but the Sentinels stuff? Forget it.
