Micronauts is one of many toy lines from the late '70s and early '80s that spawned a surprisingly robust mythology all its own. And 30 years after Marvel's Micronauts comic wrapped up, the franchise has found a new home at IDW. Whether that's cause for celebration or indifference may depend entirely on your prior attachment to the franchise. Micronauts #1 is a decent first issue, but it doesn't offer a strong hook for those who aren't familiar with the characters and their universe.
To a layman like myself, Micronauts #1 plays out like IDW's answer to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. There's a team of space mercenaries led by a roguish but ultimately kindhearted leader. It's a proven dynamic that works i nor out of the Marvel Universe. The rascally Pharoid Oz makes for an enjoyable protagonist, and his interaction with thrill-seeking teammate Phenolo-Phi is equally entertaining. The other two members of the team aren't particularly well developed yet, but all in all writer Cullen Bunn seems to have assembled a solid cast of characters.
