Review/plot:
This is the last issue of the original Micronauts series, but also Peter Gillis' first issue. Gillis will continue when the series is rebooted as Micronauts: The New Voyages.

As one would expect, it's a talky retrospective issue, with the characters deciding what kind of monument they should leave behind on Homeworld, which was left barren and lifeless after the final battle with Baron Karza.

The robots basically interview each member of the crew and use it to put the monument together. The format of the story allows for a lot of pin-up art.

It's clear Gillis has a good handle on the characters already, and the art team is very good, but this felt like something of an inconsequential issue that's borderline overly sentimental.
