3In 2002, Creator/ImageComics obtained the comic book license to the ''[[Toys/{{Micronauts}} Micronauts]]'' toyline from rights holder Abrams Gentile Entertainment and produced a comic book series set in a different continuity from [[ComicBook/{{Micronauts|MarvelComics}} the Marvel Comics series]].
4
5The main series was made by Devil's Due Publishing back when it was still a subsidiary of Image and lasted 11 issues, with the premise of a young man named Ryan Archer being transported into the Microcosm and having to lead some freedom fighters in standing up to Baron Karza and ending the cruel tyrant's reign.

7There was also a miniseries detailing the origins of Baron Karza and a short-lived continuation that Devil's Due Publishing published independently of Image that only lasted three issues.

9It wasn't until 2016 that yet another ''Micronauts'' comic would be published. For information on that comic, see ''ComicBook/MicronautsIDW''.

15* DaddysLittleVillain: Baron Karza has a daughter named Penelope, who ends up continuing his legacy as Lady Karza in the short-lived Devil's Due continuation.
16* DeathByOriginStory: The series begins with Ryan Archer's father killed.
17* {{Expy}}: Kitokk and his tribe are blatantly based off of Bug from the Marvel Comics ''Micronauts'' series.

19** Knave is the last known surviving Vaerian.
20** Koriah is the last of the Galactic Defenders.
21* MythologyGag: Acroyear at one point mentions using equipment called Mantlo tubes, a nod to Bill Mantlo, the original writer of the Marvel Comics ''Micronauts'' series.

23* TokenHuman: With Acroyear being an inhabitant of Boraya, Knave being a Vaerian, Koriah being a Forlian and Microtron and Biotron being robots, Ryan Archer stands out as the only human of the Micronauts team.
