With 6 issues of the new IDW Micronauts series already out and exploring their own backstory in the Microverse, we explore how the Micronauts might finally come into contact with all the other Hasbro players on Earth. But is this Revolution tie-in a good introduction for readers who are new to the Micronauts? We tell you our thoughts, so let us know your opinions in the comments too!

The new IDW version of Rom is right in the thick of things in the Revolution cross-over, and this comic explains how and why he got involved. We discuss whether the comic works as either a tie-in to Revolution, or as an introduction to Rom and his story. As always, enjoy a SPOILER-filled comic review, on this episode of TransMissions Extra!

On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, we continue our coverage of IDW's Revolution with a review of the M.A.S.K. Revolution tie-in. As always, read the comic first if you don't want SPOILERS for the story. M.A.S.K. was one of those 80's toy lines that took some ideas from both Transformers and G.I. Joe to create a unique concept. Both the toyline and cartoon have been mostly dormant since the 80's, so it's ripe for reboot/reimagining. Check out our in depth comic review!

On this episode of TransMissions Extra!, we examine the phenomenon of geek rivalries. Much like sports fans, geeks like to argue over their favorite "teams." We examine our own feelings about various geek civil wars - Marvel vs. DC, Star Wars vs Star Trek, etc. We can all have fun arguing over our favorite geek passions, but sometimes things get especially heated on social media and Internet message boards. In the end, can't we all just get along?
