Micronauts, Transformers, & Other Reminiscings

We've got a slightly extended intro this week so that you can all hear about Roman's deep love of the Micronauts! Join Jeff, Django, and the eternally-36 Roman as they wade through the tide pools of last week's new comic book releases. Nostalgia and modern storytelling are fused together in a wild new adventure from Robert Kirkman that puts Transformers and GI Joe in the same universe... almost any 80s kid is going to love it!
