Opens with a fairly goofy scene involving the villains in which a new monster is unleashed and multiple laws of physics are ignored.
Once we get to the Voltron Force it gets a little bit better. The three Voltron trainees are introduced in a training sequence with their personality flaws on full display, but we get enough insights to see how these three teenagers really do have the potential to be heroic and function as a team.
Not much more happens, plot wise, and we go directly to cliffhanger once characters have been established.
The artwork was a bit cluttered, probably an unavoidable side effect of the ashcan format of this book. The size of the lions and the spaceships don't really come across, and the battle scenes tend to be a bit too busy.
Still considering the number of characters involved, there was a pretty decent variety of interactions here.
Rating: 6/10
