I received the above regular cover for issue #7 from my LCS. This issue picks up right where the last issue left off where ROM has convinced Livia and Orphion, for the time being, not to destroy the earth in order to eradicate the Dire Wraith infestation. Camilla Byers also looks to be rid of her Wraith infection thanks to Orphion.
G.I. Joe's Grunt and Beach Head catch up to ROM, Livia, and Orphion as the latter three are still debating the worth of sparing humanity in lieu of the sure way of wiping out the Dire Wraiths on Earth by destroying it altogether. Without spoiling what comes next, let's just say that Grunt and Beach Head will not be bothering ROM by themselves any longer.
The Wraiths on the other hand have found a way to convince humans to willingly give their lives to feed the Wraiths' power. I like this new twist to show how clever, deceiving and cunning the Wraiths' have become to accomplish their master plan, and how the Wraiths' act in complete opposition to ROM's compassion for humanity. Good and evil has become more defined at this point in the series.
The issue ends on a low note for ROM where the Wraiths' may end up gaining the upper hand on ROM's technology.
Please comment with your thoughts on the ROM series so far and what variant covers you got or liked the most.
