Micronauts

and going away.

Be that as it may, let's talk about something fun, the next four episodes of The Micronauts.

It's

quite good, and you know what to do.

And he's found something he can get some energy from.

He's like, bye.

And we go into the, I do not care for the Micronauts theme song, which is sad.

I mean, all they do is say Micronauts the whole time, I think.

Oh, yeah.

That's definitely Micronauts-level bullshit.

No, thank you.

Yeah, it really is.

And from there, I got into...

Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Shogun Warriors, Micronauts.

I don't remember what all else, but very much a Marvel zombie growing up.

It was New Teen Titans that got me into DC because I saw the first issue of that on a spinner rack when I was grocery shopping with my mom, actually.

I read Claremont and Byrne and Austen on X-Men.

I read Byrne's FF.

I mentioned Micronauts before, which was a fun series, especially that initial 12 issues by Bill Mantlo and Michael Golden is just fantastic.

And later on, the series has some of Kelly Jones' first work in comics.

It's, um, obviously created, co-created Bucky O'Hare and did you join, um, Did, I'm sorry, yeah, Bucky O'Hare and created Rogue and...

I think of him on his long run on Micronauts.

Micronauts is a huge run for him, too.

And even, like, I think the lesser-known Jurassic Park was...

some great dinosaur art in there too.

Welcome back, my fellow agents.

It is I, X7, your master of Micronauts.

And I was back in 1978, 77, when it was first released, until 1980, when Kmart had to get rid of all the toys because some kid got shot in the eye, poked his eye out with one of them, probably.

Be that as it may, we are going to be reviewing the 2020-ish era unreleased Micronauts show.

Yeah, unreleased.

I didn't know about this until about, I don't know, six or eight months ago and found the cartoons, the whole series on the Internet Archive in great quality.

I'll tell you which one's the best, but we'll talk about the cartoons most.

And if you're ready, let's see something really different.

I don't think I have any of those.

I got some Micronauts.

Micronauts.

I didn't know there was a Miami Vice comic.

I want that now.

It's a $13 cover price.

Ah.

Yeah, ever since reading the Micronauts, I decided I'm going to try and get them all.

Y- they were very specific books.

Micronauts was a big one.

That's right.

It's my favorite, my favorite one.

That's the White Tiger.

Uh, Mantlo then made a name for himself at Marvel by being a prolific writer for fill-in scripts and, uh, to help prevent missed deadlines, and soon he became the go-to writer for licensed properties like Micronauts and ROM.

Uh, in particular, he convinced editor Jim Shooter to obtain the comic license to the toy line Micronauts, uh, so, uh, because he began conceiving of stories for the characters after giving one of the action figures of the Micronauts to his son for Christmas.

Uh, anyway, Mantlo had a stint on Spectacular Spider-Man, which saw regular appearances from the White Tiger and also the creation of characters Cloak and Dagger.

Uh, he also had a five-year run on the Hulk starting in 1980, where he would create, uh, Rocket Raccoon.
