A cyborg, a loner, a rebel, an engineer, and a crossdresser joined forces with an ancient alien space princess to vanquish a diabolical intergalactic empire.
It didn't end well.
Now comes this untold tale from before it all went wrong.

Even when she's sick, she's cute.
[this issue is set between episodes 8 and 9 of season 1]
Ah, Lance.
Ah...Keith.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snWwxQWUUNE
Aw yeah!
Zarkon wuz here.
>>84465205
Why didn't Lance or Shiro's Lions get to do anything cool?
>>84465217
This is always the funny thing about sci-fi to me. Instead of finding an ordinary terrestrial world with 5 different biomes that the Paladins can train in everybody has to go to a different planet that has a single biome.
10,000 years with most of what you loved dying off in the interim, I can see why he'd be nostalgic for something that did survive.
>>84465259
Well how else will each planet be distinct from one another?
CHECKMATE!
Is this a Galra woman?
I mean she's purple and she's got those creepy yellow eyes.
Let's keep the "Lotor in Drag" jokes to a minimum, fellas.
>>84465331
>Lotor in Drag
Can't unsee.
Are those real?
I shall now introduced them in order of most liked to least liked.
>>84465357
Try harder.
Oh hey, we now know what the Galra use for currency.
And further irony is dunked upon Coran's head.
You shoulda picked 'em better.
Now squawk like a birdie.
Technically, Hunk could also be considered the smart one, but he's a bit of a weenie.
Maybe if they got themselves a robot that wasn't soul linked to the bastard.
That's more of a Keith thing to say, Shiro.
Oh geez!
The Yellow!
The most well-armored and armed of the Lions is powerless against this foe!
I guess the Paladins are in for a worftasti-I mean-woeful encounter!
Oh Keith.
You're hard to love, but you're harder to hate.
It's time for Keith to steal another one of Lance's ideas again!
YEAH!!!
I hope we get more Robeasts next season.
Check the crotch.

And next week for news about Season 2!

>Jesus Christ, its fucking spewing out giant green alien blood and voltron is soaked in it
Thanks, OP. This was fun.
>>84465259
If what we've observed in reality is any indication, "ordinary terrestrial world with 5 different biomes" is as rare as this pearl they're trying to get.
>>84465259
At the extreme ends of the environments you can't really support multiple biomes. You don't really get a "rains molten steel knives sideways at 200 mph" biome and anything else on the same planet. In the grand scheme of things our biomes aren't all that far apart in comparison to the really extreme planets we've observed.
>>84465167
Wouldn't that be 10 and 11, since she just got done healing the Balmera?
>>84467002
No. Episode 9 is when she's recuperating from the Balmera ordeal. So the comic has to take place within that time frame.
>>84467144
To be clear episode 9 is titled Crystal Venom.
Man the art is so inconsistent and full of QUALITY.

>>84465438
Coran now charges into Galran territory alone because his fantasy league was ruined by Zarkon.
And Galrans use this as currency?
>>84467002
>>84467144
>>84467182
I think they're talking about production order. The first episode is technically the first three episodes combined. But the story position is still the same.
>>84465620
Buggy, wake up! Why won't you wake up?
>>84465144
Aww, Aluura is cutie!
>>84465639
Anyone going to that con and asking the staff questions about the show?
Voltron - Legendary Defender 001 (2016) (digital) (Oroboros-DCP)
http://www64.zippyshare.com/v/QQLL2iWu/file.html
>>84465639
Wait there was a Saber Rider comic?
>>84465100
Who's the artist? I'm assuming it's Digital Arts Chef but that doesn't explain a whole lot.
>>84465620
I love this trope.
Thanks, OP.
The art could use some work but the writing's not too bad.
>>84465390
I'm pleased that they gave some sort of explanation for armadillo centaur man, and the pub, to still be around.
Thanks, OP.
>>84465484
>>84465620
I'm going to guess that "pearl" is really the creature's egg, and Kythylian wants to train it up as one of his pets or sell it on the black market.
And once they find that out the plot will involve protecting the pearl/egg from Kythylian for the sake of the planet's people.
>>84465515
Did the Paladins always have these weird icons on the show?
>>84465217
>>84465236
Lance and Hunk Blue and yellow lions are the fucking best, they look so robust and square, curves are fine but fuck man, square robots are the best.
>>84465639
>Don't get too attached to all those headcanons!
thank god, actual plot to kill headcannons.i still dream of Pidge/Lance, Not as much as i used to tho.
>>84474461
Never seen em in the show. Too bad we only get to see three of them here.
>>84474600
I really like Pidge's cause it makes 3-mouth
>>84474804
>i still dream of Pidge/Lance
same, I've accepted it won't happen, but I still hope the meme team gets more interactions
Can this be the new general?
>>84465639
>And next week for news about Season 2!
Anyone going to that con by the way? If they are, I want people to ask about Keith's clothes being mostly black
>>84474461
I seem to remember seeing them before, especially Keith's fire icon. Maybe it's on the website.
>>84475410
Does it even have to be called a general? It's not unusual for threads to stray from the OP to all sorts of stuff over time.
>>84474461
I seem to remember it flashing by on their dashes at one point.
>>84475155
>>84475601
Yeah it's on the website in their profiles. See the icons at the top right. Allura's is the Voltron V for example.
>>84476513
>>84476523
>>84476533
>>84476543
>>84476557
>>84476570
oh, sweet! They all look like their elements, except for Lance's which looks like an angry face
Why are Keith and Shiro basically joined at the hip in this. Explain.
>>84476642
I'm guessing it's supposed to be a waterfall or flowing river. Shiro Keith and Pidge's are the msot self-evident, Hunk's is kinda boulder-ish I guess.
>>84476666
What, in the show or in the comic? Not seeing it in the latter.
>>84476666
It's Shiro, everyone wants to be joined at the hip with him.
>>84465185
>Lance mouse is the one laughing at him
>Hunk and Pidge mice are just glowering
>edgy Keith mouse is nowhere to be seen, like his personality
>>84473623
This sounds just cliche enough that it'll probably actually happen.
>>84477989
Yeah for its various strengths willingness to buck convention hasn't been one of them.
>>84476513
>Allura
>Lower strength stat than anyone
>Pidge
>He
They really were dedicated to their ruses
>>84478264
Hunk would have a higher intelligence stat too.
>>84476533
Makes more sense for Keith to have strength and agility but low intelligence.
>>84476666
Because Keith wants Shiro to pound his boypussy
>>84465300
pidge in the second panel
>>84478552
What onion would Coran like to share with us today?
>>84465167
>I'm a bit off color
Oh boy...
So is Keith basically Radam Lavans?
>>84478677
I don't get it.
>>84478551
>Shiro
>topping
>>84478677
The correct phrase is "off-Negro".
>>84478707
Key word is wants.
Jesus christ the faces in this thing.
>>84465260
>>84465185
pidge looks really feminine face wise on this 2.
i really hope through the series Pidge starts to look more and more feminine but like at a gradual phase and nobody does a big deal about it apart from some compliments or notice it.
Like hair grows little by little, Lance mentions "oh hey Pidge long hair really suits you" and other minor things, like she paints her nails green and allura mentions "thats a nice shade of green pidge' "oh thank you" and nothing else, you know, i want mundane, drama free stuff.
My headcannon is gonna get totally obliterated.
>>84478970
poor pidge has contracted a terminal case of sidemouth
>>84479206
They all get hit with it pretty bad honestly.
>>84479224
I really don't understand industry professionals doing sidemouth in comics. Like, sure I did that back in high school when I was mainly inspired by anime, but they should have grown out of it by now! It's super weird, it's not even any easier to draw than a regular mouth.
>>84479532
The art in general looks very amateur anyway. A chunk of the better panels are actually just redrawings of official art images. Not sure why they skimped so hard on this. Surely it's not that hard to find a competent artist who can draw a lot of work in a short amount of time. For fuck's sake they could've hired Sacura since apparently she's done professional comic and novel covers before.
>>84479797
They should do like transformers and hire the fujos straight out of fandom
>tfw even our own drawfags can do better than these guys
You guys are exaggerating how bad the art is. It's actually serviceable.
Is this based on the new cartoon?
>>84480094
It's functional but it's obvious the artists are extremely inexperienced because of all the newbie mistakes they make.
>>84480094
I pretty much exclusively read webcomics, and all the webcomics I read have better quality art than this. It's not TERRIBLE, but it's well below what I'd generally consider "professional"
>>84480175
You must not have come into contact with much in the way of mainstream print comics.
>>84480293
I haven't! It looks like I made some unwarranted assumptions.
>>84480293
Liefeld and Land art are good for laughs at least.
gotta love the mice
>>84480811
Where's the red one?
>>84480866
In Allura's butt.
REAR ENTRY!
>>84480957
No wonder she's not feeling well.
>>84480537
Comics industry basically only cares if you're on time with deadines, so interior art can get pretty screwy.
>>84480094
I agree, paladins look off-model sometimes, but monsters and aliens look great!
>>84481276
Maybe it's just because I'm used to primarily reading capeshit when it comes to comics but even the crummier stuff seems to be held to higher standards.
>>84480811
I love you "gotta love the mice"-anon!
OK issue I guess. A little bit of world building but too much of it is the "aohpgiahgenflaxen kghosaighoagen" kind of one-off gobbledegook that doesn't actually mean much in the long run. The stuff about GAC is a lot more interesting.
>>84482897
I love you, too, kind anon
And the mice love you as well.
>>84483127
>Hunk is the left rat
>Lance is the top one?
>Pidge is the bottom one?
>Keith is the one on the right
Wasn't there a really edgy one too?
>>84483260
The colors don't match, I think. Pidge I believe is the blue one (top), while lance is the pink one and keith is the bottom one
I mean, to the extent that they're correlated anyway
>>84483260
The bottom fella is the one who showed that edgy attitude in the pilot.
>>84483260
The edgy one is the one getting stood on here>>84483127
I honestly don't think the mice are meant to mirror the Paladins exactly. I could see the big and small ones for Hunk and Pidge respectively, to a certain extent. Big mouse seems a little too slow and lethargic at times to fit Hunk completely. Edgy mouse kind of seems like a mash-up of Keith and Lance. Tends to seem moody and above it all (Keith) but winds up being short mouse's buttmonkey (Lance). Pink, I don't think fits anyone presently.
>>84483260
the one with the red eyes always looks annoyed and grumpy so Keith
Pink is Allura
question is why don't Shiro and Pidge have a Mice counterpart?
>>84478970
Hunk's is pretty funny
>>84480094
ignoring the groupshots of the paladins, the mechs and the monsters look alright
>>84483684
Plot twist, the real reason Allura has a mind link with the mice is they host the souls of the dead old paladins. Zarkon is alive still, so is the Green Lion pilot.
What a tweest, etc
>>84483684
Shiro's is Zarkon. Those Galra had to evolve from something.
>>84465205
That song is god awful but that was a sweet intro

>>84483948
It's canon, Pidge has a terminal case of sidemouth.
So is Keith supposed to be spacegook or something?
Ponytail Pidge is best daughterfu.
>>84484964
>tfw want Shiro to be your Space Daddy
>and yet want to claim his savagely claim his paladinbussy
>>84485113
>>84485126
>Pidge with a ponytail
I never knew how much I needed this until now
>>84485155
Don't bother, it's probably all sloppy and gross and full of Galra STDs. Be fortunate it hasn't prolapsed yet.
>>84485155
>tfw want to love him for who he is yet can't stop objectifying him at every moment
Do you think he's aware of how hot he is?
>>84485177
She already had one didn't she? Before she cut her hair.
>>84485302
Nah, I bet he's blissfully unaware.
>Why does my team like to watch me train?
>Why are these Galra all so interested in me?
>>84485302
Bara tits
>>84485302
He should motorboat those titties.
>>84485302
No, it makes him more cute and pure if he's oblivious to his effect on people.
But truthfully for his character, I'd say he probably knows . He's not arrogant about it but confident in his looks. However he does have an undercut with a front skunktail. He might be terrible at determining appearances.
Where is the good Hunk fan art? Hunk is best boy by far, but fujos can't appreciate him.
>>84485414
Most of his art makes him more obese than he actually is.
>>84485221
>all this slander
Shiro's boypussy is perfect
PERFECT!
>>84485437
That stupid scar looks like blush. God damn it's kawaii.
>>84485399
I don't think he ever thinks about his appearance or looks all that much, he's got other things to worry about.
>>84465363
Is Koran copping a feel in that last panel?
>>84485302
Ridiculously attractive people who are shy/oblivious about it all are the best kind. Just like movie Captain America.
>>84485468
>uguu~
>>84485414
I posted a good Hunk/Lance pic on /y/. But what >>84485425 said, honestly. Most people don't hit the right amount of strongfat. sacura is one of the few who gets it right.
>>84485113
> random latin-shit in Lance's dialogue
I get that he's got some vaguely Mediterranean or Latin heritage, but its hardly part of his character.
Now I'm just waiting for tumblr to turn him into a chollo.
>>84485414
It's a shame, he's legitimately my second favorite boy after Shiro and he does get a good amount of fanart but like >>84485508 says a lot of them just make him a total blob even though he's supposed to be stocky and has really good arms.
Also Lance/Hunk is an underappreciated duo as is Hunk/anyone else since it's not like anyone's drawing Hunk/Shay anyway.
>>84485374
>mfw the entire team wants to bone him
>mfw there are probably cameras installed in his room/shower
>mfw he's completely oblivious to any of this
>>84485555
>has really good arms
yeah his bayard turns into a big gun, he's well armed
>>84485567
Do you think Allura and Coran ever shapeshift into Shiro for the sake of fulfilling each other's dirty Shiro fantasies?
>>84485567
I just want someone in the show to aggressively hit on Shiro, I bet his reaction would be adorable.
>>84485359
She had her hair in a sideponytail when hacking the Garrison. Also a pair of small boobers.
>>84485555
I want Hunk/Shay to be made legitimately canon. I'm against all of the shipping stuff between paladins, but Hunk/Shay I approve of completely.
>>84485613
Most of them feel too much like a bunch of squabbling brothers and sisters but I'm OK if one of them gets paired off with Keith because he's so distant from all of them. He's like the adopted/foster/step kid of the pack or the rowdy neighbor next door.
>>84485492
That's probably one of the reasons I'm so attracted to Shiro, he reminds me a lot of MCU Cap.
>>84485414
i want, no, i need some good ass Hunk art. A mighty thirst.
>>84484805
No one in this show has a penis, anon
>>84485642
I like him because he's basically a combo of the things I like most about the movie versions of Captain American and Winter Soldier combined. Cap's form, kindness, and leadership, Bucky's design and backstory, supportive big brotherliness, and badass fighting skills.
>>84485665
There's one Hunk artist I rather like who happens to ship Keith with him.
>>84485126
>puts a little flower in her hair
Lance, you nerd.
>>84483756
That... would explain a lot, actually. How mice knew how to repair the castle, for example.
>>84485642
Sauce? That's really cute.
>>84485612
>she had visible boobs
>they're gone nowbinding trans Pidge confirmed
When you think about it Zarcon is a shit leader. He had 10,000 years and his forces are still getting beaten by 10,0000 year old technology. That is like bringing a gun into a dirt clot fight and losing.
>>84485126
Welp time to fap
>>84465205
It would've been better in japanese. Then again I'm not really fond of english covers of anime openings.

>>84485612
>pair of small boobers.
if they were bigger she'd would have a very good guy disguise
also hey the show seems to imply Pidge was pretty much always a nerdy tomboy, so what was up with the dress in those photos and flashbacks?
just like feeling pretty? does she just wear a dress around her brother so they dont get confused for one another?
>>84485743
https://twitter.com/mmcoconut
>>84485850
Probably? You can have tomboyish interests and be a slob while still dressing girly. Maybe that's just what her parents buy her and she doesn't care enough to make them stop. That's how I am.

>pidge higher strength than keith

>>84485876

>>84465185

>>84485861
>an actual Marvel storyboarder drew that
Also MMCoconut has top taste in boys between Kotomine, Bucky, and now Shiro apparently.
>>84485886
Why is Keith's so low? He fucking rekt three large dudes single handedly.
>>84485941
I'm more surprised that his intelligence is so high. Nigga is brainless as fuck.
>>84485850
Family influence for sure. Both Sam and Matt wore their uniforms at home, while Katie and mom wore dresses. They must be formal about that sort of thing. Lots of families are. Once Katie left to join the garrison as Pidge, that influence wasn't necessary to follow anymore. It's like going to college sort of.
>>84485941
no idea. i guess they were going for the whole "make up for lack of strength in speed" shit, but lance is higher in both anyways.
i don't feel like counting, but i think keith has the lowest stat total here.
>>84485980
It's to show he's got the most growth potential as foreshadowing for him becoming the new Black Paladin, like Magikarp to Gyarados.

Well there's *something* hanging between his legs.
>>84486059
I really feel like Josh Keaton would've made a great Joseph, if he was an anime dubber and could do a British accent. Joseph has a bit of that Spider-Man element anyway with how he's teasing his enemies and fighting with string.

Bless his backstory, it's given me so much.

>>84488806
Lance PLEASE have sex

All the Golion pilots were kidnapped Earth gladiators who fought themselves free early on if I recall.
>>84488966

But Thor is awesome in the Avengers movies
>>84488966
Not Lance here.
I'm sorry, but your shitty husbando is worst boy by far.
>>84485302
I wish to bury my face in Shiro's titties until I suffocate.
>>84489010
He was only good in the first Thor and Avengers, afterwards he has no personality.
>>84471644
They can literally handwave that way by saying that species can live thousands of years.
>>84489206
Yeah, that's what they did. I was worried they'd ignore it entirely because the writing hasn't been super impressive so far
>>84480110
Yeah
>>84479797
Comics based on television shows don't have much effort put into them. When they do, like the Over the Garden Wall ones, Batman Adventure, the Young Justice tie-ins, it's noticeable.
