Hey, look, Acroyear on the cover with his helmet off! I dunno what I expected his head to look like, but it wasn't that, either. Oh, he looks 'better' in Kelley's detail, during his appearance in Arcturus' inner flashback.
Neither Commander nor Captain, Arcturus' rank is Lord Commodore 64. Or, maybe Rear Admiral.
Every facial close-up, though, one can see that this artist is Kelley Jones. I'd had no idea of a change in styles from early in his career. It's as though he, too, kept comparing his close face drawings with everything else he illustrated in a given story, and thought “I'd rather draw EVERYthing like I do faces; shading!”
Well, if nothing else Marinus, Arcturus is following the naval tradition of “a captain goes down with his ship.”
Cough, okay, I'll say that when it comes to the time “lines” and “periods”, just go with the opposite of your natural reflex - hah!
What, you're censored for speaking the word “sex” in a video that you post under Google? Really? Just that one word, as a 'sentence'?
Well, it seems like nobody encountered thus far knows who the Makers are. Maybe these “goofy” little aliens in this and the previous issue do, but if so they're not letting anything slip.
Fascinating, is what this series continues to be. Even this, a second, never-mentioned or praised volume which could be denigrated for some reason as being “not as good as” the original, (cult) popular volume of Micronauts. I don't know that, that's merely speculation of one possibility. Even though, yes, more mysteries and questions unfold here and add on more layers of depth and/or complexity. Even equal and valuable character development for ALL, such as finally Bug here. For an IP that I am pretty sure I knew of earliest as an action figure toy line (whether or not that came first or simultaneous to this) I easily see why this comic is nonetheless highly regarded. For quality in all ways, that comics used to commonly take pride in publishing. Anyway, this is long enough. I'm still in, for Micronauts is unique, at least to your channel's reviews. Among a plethora of unique, reviewed series. Thanks for another entertaining one, Marinus, and have a great day! It's hot here.

Swamp things cousin? he has the same nose lol.
xD I have a t shirt with Commodore 64 text and logo.😆 yeah i have to lloks twice too. he really changed his stle. This feels more comic book-ish. LOTS of shading ahhaha.
True. Like a tru Captain (altough he is not a captain).
You broke my brain, Mike😅 Time line/period arrgghhh.
Google is not in favor for certain words :/.
I wonder what they look like. Maybe they are the Beyonders??😬. The OG must be even more fun than this. I almost got it complete. I have to be patient. Iwant to know more of these gang backgrounds. I'm pretty sure in Vol.1 they get highlighted more. There were toys for Micronauts??🤓. They also stay true to the adventure and scifi part. It's feel like a pocket dimension outside Marvel .
A new batch of series are coming Mike. Let me know what you think about it :)./ have a great weekend!!
