Bring on Voltron! These guys would definitely own the Power Rangers. That's right. I said it. I know there's some Power Ranger fans here. Whatcha gonna do? Some day I have to try to get those cool looking Voltron dvds. I think it's important to suport something like this book. Obviously Devil's Due isn't one of the top two publishing companies. If you want to show them that you care about something like Voltron, you have to buy it. Sales and numbers talk. There's been talk about a live action movie for quite some time. High sales and interest in the comic would just push things along.

They find themselves under attack from the dreaded Drule Empire under the leadership of the evil King Zarkon.
