Prince Lotor

Prince Lotor crackles onto the Modern Age comics scene in Dreamwave and Devil's Due Publishing's Voltron: Defender of the Universe #0 (2003), brought to vivid life by writer Dan Jolley and artist Mark Brooks. This regal antagonist shares the pages with the iconic lion pilots — Keith Kogane, Lance McClain, Pidge Stoker, Hunk Garrett, and Allura — making for a roster that any Voltron devotee will immediately recognize. With two collector-significant key issues among his 18 catalog appearances and even a crossover into G.I. Joe territory, Lotor proves himself a villain whose reach extends well beyond a single corner of the universe. If you love early 2000s comics that bridge beloved animated properties with fresh sequential art energy, Prince Lotor's short but punchy run is absolutely worth tracking down.
