Micronauts #14-17Issue(s): Micronauts #14, Micronauts #15, Micronauts #16, Micronauts #17 Review/plot: After some post-Karza War reunions... ![]() ...the Micronauts stumble into the Psycho-Man's section of the Microverse. ![]() ![]() Luckily SHIELD has requested that the Fantastic Four investigate the Microverse, so the two teams bump into each other and are able to defeat Psycho-Man. Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, and Invisible Girl enter via Reed's Reducta-Craft, so they are the same size relative to the Micronauts... ![]() ...but the Human Torch enters through the Prometheus Pit, so he's a giant. ![]() Which is less of a benefit than you'd think, since a giant flaming man tends to burn up all your breathable oxygen relatively quickly. That was a nice touch from Mantlo. Otherwise, this is pretty straightforward and kind of dull. And i'm not a big fan of Chaykin's art, although he's a natural fit here after having been the popular artist on Star Wars. And i always love a "villain plays a death-organ" scene. ![]() Reed Richards uncharacteristically refuses to fully comply with SHIELD's requests for information about the Microverse. Surprising from Mr. "We don't buck the government". ![]() The arc uses two new Micronauts creatures, Antron and Repto, that are part of a new wave of Micronauts toys that are advertised in books of this period. ![]() ![]() Bug's girlfriend Jasmine - only introduced in issue #13 - dies in issue #17 during the Psycho-Man fight. ![]() ![]() Quality Rating: C Chronological Placement Considerations: The MCP places this between Fantastic Four #217-218.
