Summary

As Marvel begins republishing this long in limbo property, we here at Comic Geek Speak gather together to discuss the first twelve issues of the 1979 classic the Micronauts! With the help of Ryan Drost of the Star Joes Podcast we cover the history on the original toy line, what led Bill Mantlo to the comic book series in the first place, who Marvel nearly had draw the title before Michael Golden signed on, the many comparisons to Star Wars, and so much more. So do you best to avoid miniature ships as they whiz through your front yard, secure Muffin, time travel with The Time Traveler, be cautious of Baron Karza and his Body Banks, and try not to get turned into a cyborg or a centaur, because this one is a doozy!
