The Voltron: Defender of the Universe Omnibus is a hardcover masterpiece which I am happy to have read and wish to declare as the latest of the Gems of the Warehouse. Even if you are not familiar with the series, you are going to like this book. It is a bargain at any price.

The Voltron: Defender of the Universe Omnibus collects the 2003 mini-series of the same name published by Image in 2003. It also collects the issues in the year-long series (of the same name) published the following year by Devil’s Due Publishing. In all, you are going to get over 300 pages of deliciousness.

Voltron fans are going to want to know about the artwork inside Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Trust me, one look at the artwork and you will remember your childhood. While the artwork was still modern by 2003/4 standards, it still harkened back to the original styles which made Voltron a hit when I was young.

The story is strong, and you do not have to know about the Voltron universe when you first start reading the Voltron: Defender of the Universe Omnibus. An easy-to-follow backstory is given which makes the universe appear new while still giving points which fans of the original show and toy line can appreciate and relate to.

The story takes place over a thousand years after Voltron was “destroyed” and his parts hidden. Five brave warriors (who are mostly in it for the fame, money, or because they are expendable in society) come forward to reunite the pieces of the Defender of the Universe to defeat the evil empire which enslaves much of the known galaxy.

The Result in Voltron: Defender of the Universe Omnibus?

The result of great artwork and great writing is a book which you should have in your trades collection. I can see myself rereading this collection in the future. Isn’t that the best compliment you can give anything you have just read?
