I loved Voltron as a kid. I was excited to revisit the serious in this graphic novel. The illustrations are very colorful and engaging. Liked the story line. will definitely follow up with any more graphic novels in this series.

I haven't watched the show, but this book is just as good on its own. I like the story! Very interesting read!

Solid enough. If you like the show, you'll enjoy it. Not really required reading but hey. The art worked well enough, keeping close to the depictions on the show.

I was really happy at all the Hunk moments, because he doesn't get a lot of attention in the show! I love the art style and the plot was really helpful in filling in what we didn't get to see between Season 2 and Season 3

'Voltron Legendary Defender Vol. 2: Pilgrimage' by Tim Hedrick and Mitch Iverson with art by Jung Gwan Yoo and Rubine is about robot fighters that can form an even bigger robot fighter. I'll confess right here that I've never been a big fan of the show, but I enjoyed this well enough.

The Voltron team, in their quest to stop Zarkon, find a race of hunters and shaman called the Davdabhau. They protect them from an attack. Then they are charged with escorting them through space to find new hunting grounds. Of course, it can never be that simple, so the crew finds a giant space monster that they have to deal with along with other hazards or space travel. One of the characters, Hunk, has two of the Davdabhau females fighting over him, much to his dismay.

The story is a pretty good space opera type story, and the art is so reminiscent of the cartoon that it almost feels like it's lifted from the cels and relabeled with new dialogue (which is not the case as far as I can tell). Folks who are fans of Voltron will probably find a lot to like in this story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I loved watching Voltron on TV, so I was excited to read this. That said, I didn''t connect with the characters, and wasn't able to fully enjoy the story. Still the artwork was well done, and for that alone it was fun to read,

I love the art work, its very detailed and ... amazing. I like the story line, however, I had a hard time getting into it and connecting to it. Even found myself skimming through the pages. Not my favourite one.

The Voltron paladins respond to a distress call and find the Davdabhau, a group of alien settlers being attacked by the Galra on a mining planet. They are a warrior race in search of their ancestral hunting grounds and had been tricked into coming to that planet. The paladins agree to accompany them on the dangerous journey to their hunting grounds, fighting a number of dangerous opponents along the way.

I had loved the original Voltron cartoon as a child (lions, not cars!) and the passage of time has really blurred out a lot of my memories of the show. I don't have Netflix, so I haven't seen more than occasional pictures of the new show. Getting a chance to read the comic version was a great introduction and way to see how the characters interact in the new show. The authors write for the Netflix show, so this is definitely in keeping with the new version of the characters. I don't know if this plot line was actually on the show, but it's very straightforward and contained within this volume, so you don't actually need to know too much about the background in order to understand the story.

The art splashes are pretty and very well done, with color coding speech bubbles when all of the lions join to form Voltron. It's a neat trick to visually let you know who is speaking and to keep track of the story as it goes along. Some of the situations are likely very new because I really don't remember characters vying to marry Hunk in the children's cartoon, but it does lead to some comic relief and character bonding moments. This was a fun story overall, and one that I enjoyed with my daughter, who had never seen Voltron before.

I really like Voltron. I've watched the first two seasons on Netflix (I know, I'm WAY behind) and loved it. So I requested this.

You definitely need to know Voltron to read this, at least the premise and characters (not the whole show, its a separate adventure).

Vol. 2 takes place during season 2 in between episode 3 (Shiro's Escape) and episode 8 (The Blade of Marmora).

The artwork matched the animation style of the show really well - so you know exactly what you're in for art-wise. Though, I did find some pages/panels a bit busy - a lot going on, especially color wise.

I loved how much Hunk was focused on in the comic - especially because it feels like Hunk is ignored a lot in the show. I liked seeing more of the daily life of Voltron, and a new alien species - though the species of furry creatures was bit odd. I liked the little "Lance's Guide To Falling In Love" interlude.

Its a cute, fast read if you like the show. Definitely aimed at a younger audience - the target audience of the show is about 7+ and the comic reflects this a little more than the show does I think.

An exhilarating and action-packed comics, the storyline is good and the characters are quite electric with their own unique identity. It’s adventurous, very captivating and filled with excitement, the team had their hands full defending their world, a fast pace, and entertaining comic book.

Another fun, fast-paced adventure for the Voltron gang. I appreciated seeing a little bit more of Hunk! This is about what you'd expect from a tie-in and should appeal to the show's target audience.

Vol. 2: The Pilgrimage is a fun addition to the Voltron story line. Hunk gets the majority of the spotlight, which is refreshing and enlightening because we get to see sides of him that are not emphasized as much in the Netflix show.

Vol. 2 takes place during season 2 in between episode 3 (Shiro's Escape) and episode 8 (The Blade of Marmora) and offers a new look and perspective of the greater universe, the various species of cultures and the creatures they meet out in open space.

It's funny and accessible to younger readers and sure to be appreciated by readers and fans young and old.

This story nicely hits a sweet spot of its target audience - grade school kids looking for a bit of mindless adventure and some humor. While definitely not on the same level as e.g., Avatar, it's a fun little romp in space and original storyline not in the series that never takes itself too seriously.

Story: When the castle answers a distress call, they find a race of cat-like humanoids fighting desperately against Galran mobs. As the Voltron crew soon discover, the people were betrayed and brought to the Galra by a traitor. They need to find their legendary protection grounds - a treacherous journey that the Voltron lions and castle can help with finding. But the traitor also knows where they are heading....

The theme of this book is Hulk - nearly every scene and every moment is about him and his unique talents. From being able to sniff out a special cake in a maze to recognizing that a new alien may not be an adversary and that there are better ways to deal with conflict than with more conflict. A running gag is that the cat people has two sisters who want to marry Hulk because they respect size and strength most in their culture.

The first part of the book is the battle to free the cat people and the rest is the journey and dangers to find their sacred grounds. The story is fairly straightforward and younger readers will have no problems following the plot.

The illustrations look exactly like the animation. Some of the action sequences may be a bit confusing but otherwise, this is the Voltron that everyone knows and loves. I think younger kids will especially appreciate the action, adventure, and admittedly simplistic storyline. But fans can also appreciate the humor interspersed throughout. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

I enjoyed the first volume of this comic series, but I LOVED this one! It was amazing! The events in this trade take place after Episode 3 in Season 2 and are full of lots of Hunk moments and a really cool new alien race who thrives on fighting! This comic really embodies everything I love about this franchise remake.

The art in this one is just as awesome as the first volume and still contained the humor and quirkiness that defines this series for me. I loved discovering more about this new alien race and seeing the paladins interact with them. I flew through this volume and before I knew it I had run out of pages. My favorite part of this volume probably had to be Lance giving love advice to Hunk. It was kind of hilarious.

As soon as I finished, I wanted more! I can't wait to see what other stories they can tell us about the paladins' adventures in this format. I'm hoping the next volume has more Keith or Shiro moments. I want to know more about them. *crosses fingers*

4 stars--I really liked it.

If you watch the Netflix series Voltron, you'll likely enjoy this graphic novel, which provides an alternative adventure for the paladins. Some highlights:

* Lots of Hunk moments (which are lacking in the show, and it's a pity--he's a great character)
* A cool new alien race
* A really creepy Lovecraftian giant space monster
* The humor we've come to expect from the series.

Lovely art as well!

I received this review copy from the publisher on NetGalley. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review; I appreciate it!

The Oomagiflumps of Corobandel must fight the Biffly-Woos and get the Wowzers to the Celestial Underpants of the Seventh Sun of the Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, before the Dazzle Mungers combine with the Howzyrfathers and get the Sword of oh for the love of all that's holy, go dig out an old Transformers comic, it's more sophisticated. This tosh even has a character called Keith. Unreadable - you'll take longer reading the list of artists than the "story" itself.
