I am happy that my local comic shop set aside the above cover variant of ROM issue #3 for me, but I am a bit torn because I really like the standard cover too by Bill Sienkewicz (not sure I spelled that right).
This issue begins by showing the outcome of the cliffhanger the last issue ended on, and Camilla learns firsthand how the Dire Wraiths have existed over the years on Earth. Darby was "recovered" by a covert government agency from the hiding spot she and ROM hid in at the end of the last issue, and now Darby seemingly feels that she has been duped by ROM.
ROM and Camilla eventually meet up with Darby again, but Darby, thinking it's in her best interest, alerts the covert government agency that ROM is with her. There appears to be a gap in the story before ROM, Camilla and Darby meet and I think that's where the ROM Revolution one shot might come into play.
The issue ends on another cliff hanger where the covert government agency and Darby are transporting a restrained ROM to some government facility. Is ROM and Darby allowing themselves to be caught to gain access to the government facility and get more information, or is this an actual major setback for ROM? We'll have to find out in the next issue.
Please comment with your thoughts or theories about issue #3 and which variant cover you got or which one is your favorite.
