Review: Robotech #22
In
Robotech #21, out this week from Titan Comics, the Invid made contact
with the humans at LV-227. In issue #22, they arrive at Earth. The
motivations of the Regess who leads the Invid are explored and we are
shown that the Invid are a species that expresses awareness of how to
manipulate space and time much like the alien species in the Tom Cruise
Movie, Edge of Tomorrow. The Invid understand that they own the future
Earth of our timeline, but our future heroes decided to combat that by
sending Dana Sterling back in time with a message. This triggers the
Invid to attack early to destroy the source of the temporal
disturbance.
This issue is part of the Event Horizon miniseries which does for Robotech, what the 2009 JJ Abram’s Star Trek did for it’s franchise: it disrupts the known timeline of the story and allows to start telling new stories with familiar characters and settings.SCRIPT
