Is ROBOTECH: RICK HUNTER #4 Good?
In issue #3, the Pegasus Squadron barely survived an attack by the Zentraedi. Their ships were taken down, people were injured, but they find out that the Zentraedi terrorist cell, led by the vicious Zeraal, wants to take control of the last remaining fold drive.
The Pegasus Squadron finds a ship near the location of the Zeraal terrorist cell, but it seems to be abandoned. They enter it and set off a trigger warning system that activates a holographic image of Zeraal. He taunts the Pegasus Squadron, revealing his plan to activate a grand cannon and trigger it to blow up the planet. However, Lisa Hayes has received permission to activate a prototype battle cruiser to get to the other side of the planet quickly. They pick up the Pegasus Squadron and head to the base where the grand cannon prototype is stored. Zeraal’s plan is thwarted by Breetai, who sabotages the terrorist’s device. Zeraal decides to use his own mech suit to trigger the device, leading to a deadly battle between him and Rick Hunter. Despite some damage, the planet is saved, and Zeraal is defeated.

The fast-paced narrative sometimes feels rushed, with scenes truncated and lacking in depth. The art, while energetic, suffers from rushed coloring and details due to time constraints.
How’s the Art?
Simone Ragazzoni’s art captures the action well, but the rushed coloring from Sakti Yuwono detracts from the overall quality. While the scenes convey energy, there are instances where the lack of intricate details is noticeable.
