Reseña de la versión española de Recerca/Aleta ediciones

De los micronautas sólo sabía que eran una serie popular de Marvel hace varios años, de esas que existían para promover juguetes. Me llamó la atención ver los 5 tomos en oferta ennuna tienda local y los compré.

Esta historia lleva a un humano al "Micro verso" y de allí conocemos a su tiranico lider y a los que se le oponen, estos últimos quienes terminan siendo aliados de nuestro protagonista, al que ayudan a salvar a la tierra luego de una incursión del antagonista.

De una primera mitad que se enfoca en este nuevo mundo, pasamos a una invasión que rápidamente diezma a la tierra y sus habitantes, convenientemwnte no afectando a cieryos personajes que ayudarán a nuestro protagonista.

Tratando de no hacer tantas preguntas, como " ¿cómo es posible que ina invasión de seres que son del tamaño de un raton van a acabar con el ejercito?", me enfoque en dejar la historia fluir, pero no tiene ni personajes memorables, ni un ritmo que se entiensa facilmente de página a página. Puedo entender como luego de ya màs se 20 años, ninguna editorial con los derechos de los Micronautas la ha rescatado para re-publicación.

más allá de tener arte de portadas e interiores por artistas que ahora son leyendas del medio, no es una historia para buscar desesperadamente como un tesoro olvidado, pero si de casualidad llega a tus manos, es una interesante cápsula del tiempo de los cómics de licencias de propiedades intelectuales.

I really had no particular exposure to the Micronauts, either in toy or comic form, but found this run of comics along with one issue of the original Marvel series at a recent comics box sale, and had heard they were a thing in a Marvel comics history I recently read, so I decided to check them out, starting with that Marvel book, since it was older, so I could get a feel for what the books were like. This book is fairly different, only really having the one character in common with that book (which might have been a bit odd, itself), that being Acroyear. On its own merit, this is a fairly interesting adventure story that hints at, but doesn't really explain the Microverse, and the size difference between Earth, instead focusing on the geopolitical layout of the city we start in, and the prisoners there trying to escape with Ryan, from earth, who is said to be important, and seems to have some sort of intuitive powers. This volume is mostly exposition, and doesn't really get very far in establishing the characters or indicating what the plot might be from here, but is otherwise well rendered and written. I would be willing to give it another volume to see if it got a bit more interesting if it turned up, but I'm not itching to read more, either.
