The above cover image is the one my local comic shop set aside for me, and it wasn't the standard cover for a change. This issue starts a new story arc in the main ROM series with the Revolution mini series now having finished playing out within the ROM timeline. The first pages of the story in this issue involves some of the heavy hitters involved with ROM in the Revolution mini series reflecting on ROM being a great ally in the IDW Hasbro universe.
The new story arc starts off pretty exciting as we see some Dire Wraiths do their thing. They are later taken out, but not by the title character. Two Solstar Order Spaceknights are now on earth and appear to be more ruthless than what we have seen ROM do when it comes to the mission of eradicating the Dire Wraiths.
When the story catches up with ROM, we see him come across Camilla Byers again, but she is starting to be overcome with the Dire Wraith 'infection' she contracted in the first issue of the series. Drama ensues between her and ROM and the issue ends with ROM realizing he is not the only spaceknight fighting the Dire Wraiths on earth anymore.
This issue was fun and interesting, and it reminded me why I like ROM the best of all the characters in the Hasbro universe. I can't wait to see what comes next with two additional spaceknights now on earth. Also, I can't help but be reminded of the Marvel ROM series issue #4 where he encountered the Firefall spaceknight armor bonded to a human which was kind of like another spaceknight on earth.
Please comment with your thoughts on the ROM series so far and what variant covers you got or liked the most.
