Micronauts Special Edition (4).


This fourth chapter is the beginning of the most interesting part in the Micronauts Starting Saga. Get ready to find more adventure and Battles than in any other SF adventure ever.


THE MICRONAUTS #8.
COVER TITLE. Enter... Captain Universe!
INSIDE TITLE.  The Coming of Captain Universe.
COVER DATE. September 1978
COVER ARTIST. Golden & Rubinstein
NUMBER OF PAGES. 7
WRITER. Bill Mantlo
PENCILLER. Michael Golden
INKER. Bob McLeod
LETTERERES. Diana Albers
COLORIST. Bob Sharen
EDITOR. Allen Milgrom
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. Jim Shooter

This short chapter is the Battle that confronts Karza and a Wanna-be Superhero that didn't last and that in the nineties was transformed into a Gift book character. You can submit a name (a boy or a girl's name) and then they send you back (it costed $10) a comic book with the adventures of the child while transforming into a Captain Universe and solve a cosmic attack. Not much.


The battle has a lot of FX but no more. Captain Universe seems to start wining when the Micronauts, using the Endevour, use the Prometheus Pit to return to the Microverse. Karza notices that and abandons the battle and Doctor Prometheus body to pursue his enemies. End of battle.


After this brief career, Ray Coffin returns to his normal self and to his son Steve. The Enigma Force returns to the Microverse.


A weak moment in an almost perfect story. But do not fret. The next four chapters are what we are looking for. The best there is in Galactic Battles after Star Wars.

The Micronauts, back to the Microverse arrived to a freed Spartak were the Acroyears await them and greet them. Karza returns to Homeworld to face the Force Commander, the name  the Prince has chosen to lead the rebel army. They have being aided by the Shadow Priests but the Dog Soldiers, Karza's army are too much. 


The Dog Soldiers also attack Spartak and Acroyear must do something dangerous: link his mind to the planet and transform the lifeless rock into a Battleship, a Worldmind as Acroyears call it.






THE MICRONAUTS #10.

Being the good guys doesn't mean always winning. That's the main goal of this chapter. Karza is being attacked in many flanks but he is not loosing a single battle. He even captured Marionette and Rann.


The Body Banks attack is loosing its steam and the Dog Soldiers regain control of the situation. But it is Spartak turned into Worldmind, with its suicide attack the turning point in the rebels first wave. The Dog Soldiers lands on Spartak showing no piety, killing everybody, including infants.


The Acroyears fight bravely, loosing many lives, but winning. And they give the prisoners the mercy of the sword.
