Micronauts: The New Voyages #13-14Issue(s): Micronauts: The New Voyages #13, Micronauts: The New Voyages #14 Review/plot: ![]() When Huntarr tries to connect with Devil, he freaks out... ![]() ...and has to be calmed by Solitaire, who he calls "mother". ![]() There's a lot of metaphysical talk about "pain". The Micronauts then land on a planet called Fiame, which was apparently the team's intended destination back at the start of the series. It's a peaceful, uninhabited planet, but soon after they land, it's invaded by a fleet of weird looking spaceships. Scion suggests they make contact, and entering one, they find that they are biological. They fight their way through the ship's defenses... ![]() ...and find... now, try to contain your excitement!... the Zodiac Keys! ![]() These were doohickeys used in the origin of the Microverse arc from the original series, and i guess it's true that we never did learn the origin of the keys themselves, but it didn't seem like that was really necessary. The cover of issue #13 promises that we'll learn their secret "at last!". I guess i'll let Scion explain it: In order to give this universe meaning, the Makers brought living souls into it. They brought souls from the scattered universes of infinity to live and flourish -- incredibly diverse but with one thing in common -- the code of life -- DNA. Didn't help? I think it's explaining why the original Microverse galaxy looks like a double-helix. Maybe. Anyway, now it's threatened by "the pain". Next up is the planet Aegis, which is full of refuges. Then Scion does something to Bug that puts him in a cocoon... ![]() ...and only Marionette's love can save him. But now we hear there's a "secret of Marionette". ![]() While all this is going on, Commander Rann, now one with the Dreaming Star, uses his new cosmic connection to get a glimpse of the Makers, and discovers that they are actually Clown Celestials. (This is only half of a double-page spread and yes, it's supposed to be sideways. Since it's the coolest thing in these issues, you can click on it to see the full rotated picture.) I don't know what's going on, folks. I'm sorry. Quality Rating: C Chronological Placement Considerations: N/A References:
