Oh, yes. That's part of the point of the whole thing.

There's a lot of changes from the source - the relationship between Giant Robo and Daisaku, for example. Savashtar's not even from anime (and I haven't been able to find any Warlock 5 series 1 comics to scan in an image of him, irritatingly).

I still remember the first time I gave a copy of it to someone to read and they hit the part about Max and just STARED at me... That was a moment of pure joy.

As I said, there's gonna be some more - backstory, and the Books of Souls. (Which, I promise, will have a combat not seen since... um... one of the more recent Super Robot Wars games.)
