I received the above regular cover for issue #8 from my LCS. This issue immediately starts off with Orphion rushing ahead of ROM and Livia towards an oceanic oil rig station. As you can guess, if Orphion is interested in anything that is of Earth, there must be some involvement with the Dire Wraiths.
While Orphion intends to destroy the Wraiths occupying the oil rig station, he also has other plans, unknown to ROM and Livia, for using the oil rig station once the Wraiths are taken care of. ROM figures out what Orphion intends to do and a 'disagreement' ensues between ROM and Orphion. Of course, attention has been taken away from the Wraiths in the oil rig station temporarily and we are introduced to the 'Absense' as a result.
Concurrent to the Spaceknights story, we see Darby connecting with an old friend named Ruan. Ruan isn't all what Darby thinks he is and without giving away any more, an interesting twist gets introduced to the ongoing series. As short as the continuation of the story in each recent issue seems to be, the current story arc is still keeping my interest and leaves me wanting more. My only disappointment is the long publishing delay between these more recent issues, and it concerns me as a ROM fan that the ongoing series may be coming to an end.
Please comment with your thoughts on the ROM series so far and what variant covers you got or liked the most.
