Voltron: Year One #2

Dynamite's Voltron prequel series continues with Voltron: Year One #2. Their cover blown, Space Explorer Squadron #686 is trapped behind enemy lines, and the prisoner they've been tasked with retrieving is not what they thought he was. And with his friends and teammates pinned down and running out of time, will Keith and Hunk disobey orders and risk everything to save them?

If #686 can make it back alive, there'll be hell to pay. Voltron: Year One #2 is on comic stands everywhere and is also available for digital download.
