Robotech #18 (PDF)

Ten years ago, a mysterious spaceship crashed on Macross Island... In the intervening years, the people of Earth have used the 'Robotechnology' from the ship to significantly advance their own technology. The ship - named by the humans as the Super-Dimension Fortress - actually belongs to a race of giant aliens, the Zentraedi. The Zentraedi attack and the crew of the SDF-1 are forced to space-fold away - taking a chunk of Macross City (and its 70,000 citizens) with them. The SDF-1 has been in the midst of a long journey back to Earth. Along the way, the SDF-1's Captain, Henry Gloval, was killed under mysterious circumstances and Lisa Hayes took over his position... Rick appears to have gone blind, but has somehow developed a different kind of vision - possibly connected to the Protoculture that powers Robotechnology. He is now concerned that Minmei has also been affected...After being attacked by Earth and its Grand Cannon, the SDF-1 is now en route to Mars Base. A scarred Karl Riber, Lisa's ex, previously reported as K.I.A. has mysteriously returned. Claudia was viciously attacked by an evil clone of Roy - the clone was then killed during a space battle with Vermillion Squad. The real Roy finally managed to escape the clutches of his captor - Dr Lazlo Zand. Meanwhile, Breetai, Miriya and a handful of the Zentraedi are rebelling against Dolza and planning to defect to the SDF-1...
