Well I'll be rolled in mold and kicked dickless, this book is actually okay. In case you aren't familiar with the Micronauts, I suppose I need to explain. The Micronauts started out as action figures that came apart so you could mix & match their body parts. Sort of like little Mr. Potato Heads, except with swords and guns. Of course you always lost a few of their limbs sooner or later and ended up with a bunch of toys that looked like poster children for one of these videos, which, naturally, led to the purchase of more Micronauts. It was a pretty good scam for a while, but eventually parents caught on and that was the end of the Micronauts. Well, it was the end of the toys, anyway. There was also a comic book, and against all odds it was the fucking bomb and managed to stick around a little longer. Eventually the comic got cancelled too, but they literally brought it back the very next month (duh) as Micronauts: The New Voyages, which did a complete 180 and sucked so much shit that there was actually a shit shortage for a while. Ask your parents about it. After that the damn thing got cancelled for good, but nothing nerds have even a passing interest in goes away forever so, decades later, here's the novel of the comic of the toys that, to this day, people still find pieces of when they buy a new house and tear out the original carpeting.

So is it worth reading? Well, the story's pretty solid, but the problem is that due to a bunch of complicated legal tomfuckery somehow two entirely different companies own the various Micronauts. I'm not exactly sure how this came about, but I like to imagine that it went down something like this:

However it happened, this means that any new book, movie, or comic about the Micronauts can only use some of them, which means that no matter how you play it you have to leave out somebody's favorites. In other words, the only people on Earth who would actually want to read this book are also the only people on Earth who will be completely irritated by this book. That's a tough place to be for the cat who wrote it but hey, it's a living. No one forced him to quit his job at Best Buy.
