Tsuguo Okazaki and Sukehiro Tomita produced a Japanese comics adaptation of the video series Macross II, and this title is an English translation of that comic. The story takes place eighty years after the first Macross story, and Earth has been successfully keeping the enemy Zentraedi at bay with recordings of pop songs. However, the enemy’s own singers have how arrived and in this story one of them is captured by a shallow young journalist and brought to Earth, causing changes in the singer, the journalist and the war. The pop-song defence was inherited from the first series, where it went almost unnoticed among all the other idiocies designed for the ten-year-old brain. Transplanted to a comic for adults, though, it looks very strange, and that does seem to be much of the point of the story: redesigning the enemy’s culture so that their reaction to the pop songs makes sense. The redesign works well, and the comic has a much more alien feel than the first series. Other changes: the artwork is much more varied and dramatic.
