First a big SHOUTOUT to Malcontent Uprisings comics writer Bill Spangler. Bill, thank you for the kind words about my coverage of the series and thank you for this addition to the Robotech story.
Bill's trajectory in comics is not just in Robotech, but also original stories from the universes of Quantum Leap and Alien Nation. One of his most recent works is from the world of a vintage TV show from the 1950s, TOM CORBETT, SPACE CADET!

The trade paperback edition of the series should be out in May! Pretty nifty!
Now for this cast, in keeping with our roll call of Robotech characters, we talk about one of the more polarizing figures in the Robotech Universe. One that I think takes a journey of "redemption" in the time he is present....
The haunted and saturnine, the brilliantly gifted but ill starred, the undefeated and cursed.....LYNN KYLE.
Now if it's just the Original 85 character, it's someone whose teeth you want to kick in )providing you're a greater kung fu master than him!)
Expanded Universe...this is one tortured soul......
I see Kyle as someone conflicted between the "principles" he has and the instinctiveness to survive. For him, war is wrong, yet when it's crunch time, he wants his side to come out on top. He inflicts that conflict on his cousin/lover Lynn Minmei andn it drives them apart.
During the "lost era" he is willing to join the Malcontents in a self believing noble effort to defend themselves against the Earth Government he holds so in contempt because he believes in the Zentraedi cause to try and survive on the ravaged Earth.
Once we get to the Sentinels.....we see his resolution.......AND redemption........of the permanent type if ya know what I mean……
Wow....a character who's NOT resolved in End of the Circle!
If you have your own thought about Kyle....door's open....I do realize their is an Anti-Kyle League out there.....
Hmmm...may bring back the RandomCast......I DO still retain 20% option......LOL!
Maybe some Random Thoughts posts before then.......
Don't forget, we still got poll questions until Saturday night....so get your vote in!
Seeya Sunday!
IT'S ANNIVERSARY TIME BABY!!!!!!!....REVIVE FOR 25!
