Review/plot:
The Micronauts arrive at Homeworld and find it in ruins.

But they proceed with their efforts to restore Devil, and they find him possessed by Homeworld's Worldmind.

This was its plan all along, to have a physical body to inhabit and also have access to the teleportation device on Homeworld that the Micronauts unwittingly repaired.

Luckily, Huntarr evolves a hand-gun that allows him to kill the possessed Devil...

And then Commander Rann teleports in from across the universe on the newly repaired teleporter. We last saw him expanding his mind into the universe and he's been learning about the Makers that created the Microverse, and he says the Micronauts now have a lot of work to do.

Devil is dead, but when his species die, a Fireflyte is subsequently released.

I've already been a little down on this series, and this issue features guest art by Howard Bender which is a little stiffer than regular artist Kelley Jones.

This was initially announced as the book's last issue, and was supposed to be double-sized.

The title might be taken from an Arthur C. Clarke novel. Wikipedia tells me it comes from an A.E. Housman poem.
