Rom Spaceknight Issue #6 review


I received the above regular cover for issue #6 from my LCS. This issue picks up right where the last issue left off where ROM has just realized that he is not the only spaceknight on earth. We are introduced to Livia and Orphion, spaceknights of the solstar order.

This issue's story continues the exciting story arc involving the new spaceknight arriving on earth, and without spoiling too much of the story, I will say that drama ensues as ROM tries to convince the new solstar order arrivals about the value of human life. Camilla Byers goes through a significant transformation, and at the end of the issue, we learn about Livia's and Orpion's capacity for mercy.

Sprinkle in some Wraith conspiracy and some G.I. Joe action, and the issue becomes a worthwhile read in my opinion. I hope ROM's popularity is still going strong overall because I don't see much interest continuing on either at my LCS or online, except for a very few specific websites. I hope I am wrong though.

Please comment with your thoughts on the ROM series so far and what variant covers you got or liked the most.
