Legendary Transformers scribe Simon Furman joins writer Brian Wood (DMZ) to chronicle the ongoing adventures of the SDF-1! After last issue’s shocking finale, the inhabitants of Macross City are left reeling – as they mourn the loss of a beloved friend. Don’t miss out on the next exciting chapter as the team heads to Mars in an attempt to escape the advancing forces of the mysterious Zentraedi!
Brian Wood's history of published work includes over fifty volumes of genre-spanning original material.
From the 1500-page future war epic DMZ, the ecological disaster series The Massive, the American crime drama Briggs Land, and the groundbreaking lo-fi dystopia Channel Zero he has a 20-year track record of marrying thoughtful world-building and political commentary with compelling and diverse characters.
His YA novels - Demo, Local, The New York Four, and Mara - have made YALSA and New York Public Library best-of lists. His historical fiction - the viking series Northlanders, the American Revolution-centered Rebels, and the norse-samurai mashup Sword Daughter - are benchmarks in the comic book industry.
He's written some of the biggest franchises in pop culture, including Star Wars, Terminator, RoboCop, Conan The Barbarian, Robotech, and Planet Of The Apes. He’s written number-one-selling series for Marvel Comics. And he’s created and written multiple canonical stories for the Aliens universe, including the Zula Hendricks character.
Better. I think bringing Furman in on scripting has helped quite a bit, not to mention the larger deviations from the original series.
I also had a realization while reading this. I hear the voices in my head while reading (please, please tell me I'm not the only one who does) and Khyron sounded just like James Mason. I don't know how I missed that in the 30 years I've been watching the anime, but yeah. Gregory Snegoff must have been channeling Mason for that character.
