This trade collects the first comic book chapter of the epic series airing on Netflix. From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe comes VOLTRON: LEGENDARY DEFENDER! When Team Voltron takes on a dangerous training mission in deep space, Coran, Princess Allura's majordomo, is captured by an ancient enemy. It will take teamwork, smarts, and, of course, Voltron, to save their friend's life. This galaxy-spanning adventure is a never-before-seen chapter of the epic animated series reboot by show writers Tim Hedrick (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Mitch Iverson.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Fans!

I'm pretty far outside of Voltron's targeted demographic, but I love the show, so picking this up was a no brainer. For nerds, this comic takes place between episodes 8 and 9 of the first season, introduces some cool new aliens, and nicely characterizes the Paladins as they encounter an issue when Coran tries to give them an old Paladin training regiment. The art is great, and the story is a nice interlude (no big revelations, but a solid little story). If you're a fan, I highly recommend it, even if it's just to take the edge off of waiting for season 3!

I loved reading this comic, it had so much art in it and had a fun story. I have to admit that when I ordered it I expected a much longer comic, overall it’s a really good comic! I recommend it for Voltron fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Voltron story
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2018

I truly enjoyed reading this Voltron story. It is not so much about destroying the Galaxy wide band of bad guys trying to destroy everyone, as an adventure to save their friend. It is written with a good amount of humor and some incredible fantastic aliens. Great read, fun action and awesome entertainment combined with very detailed designed pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun Season 1 episode in comic format
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018
Voltron: Legendary Defenders Vol 1 takes place directly after the events of Season 1, Episode 10. While Allura rests after saving the Balmera, Coran takes the Paladins out for a training mission which soon turns into a rescue mission when Coran is held captive in exchange for a impossible-to-get Pearl. The Paladins quickly take off to find and collect this pearl while having to defeat monsters and save people along the way.

This feel like a sped-up episode of the show. The characters are pretty accurate for season 1 (I read this after watching season 5 and the characters have grown up a little since then, so going backwards slightly a bit off putting). The plotline, character/monster/planet designs and humor are pretty show accurate as well. I really enjoyed having some chapters shown from the perspective of a single character (Lance and Pidge both get this in the middle of the book). I also really enjoyed the show-accurate artwork. It's got a nice mix of the show and a thinner line, sketchier comic book style. It's really nice to look at.

My biggest issues with this come from some arguably nitpicky continuity issues. For example, Pidge's chapter mentions Coran being like a mentor to her. Which, from my knowledge of the show, simply isn't true (or at least was never shown or mentioned). And the fact this establishes it's part in a very specific timeline in the show but is never actually spoken of in the show. Also, the comic tends to go constantly, never really giving us a break or really hitting that sweet spot of really pulling you in like some of the more memorable episodes of the show. There isn't much here other than just a really fun story with the Paladins. We never actually get any additional information.

That being said, it is fun, but only if you're a fan of the show because, as stated before, it takes place inbetween episodes in season 1. There is no entry information for newcomers. You're thrown right in the middle of it. But, if you're a fan, you'll get a kick out of another fun adventure with the Paladins of Voltron while you wait for Netflix to release the next season.

I got this as a Christmas gift for my kid sister since she has been getting a little better at reading and really loves Voltron. She got so excited when she opened it, so I think it was a perfect gift!

I think today Voltron is just as good as Voltron from 1984. Nice artwork by Digital Art Chefs. Straight from the animated series itself. If you're a fan of Voltron, I recommend this volume set of Voltron Legendary Defender. I hope more issues come soon.

For the kindle version some of the text is really small and you cant zoom in but otherwise its really cool and worth the price. It adds more story to the show.

To be honest, at first I thought the comic would just be telling the story already told in the series. Man was I happy when I saw that i was wrong! The comic is a great gap filler in between some episodes and tells great stories! Lance's was my favourite, I gotta say, because I love his humour and his chapter was completely full of that. My eyes were seriously watering out of joy while reading!
Great addiction to the collection for Voltron LD Fans and Comic Book Lovers!
