Now this is one odd series and hero. In the age of relaunches and limited series and specials, this is one series that has had no revivals even though during its 6 year publishing history, Rom has had many fans including crossovers and toys etc and in fact, started life as a toy
What is Rom?
A man from Galador, a world far away from ours that treasured peace above war until one day creatures from another galaxy called the Dark Nebula invaded them. Seeing no choice, their ruler decided to merge each of their best with non-organics thus creating a race of Spaceknights, metallic looking beings with half of their humanity within and awesome powers to combat the invaders named Dire Wraiths
And once their world was cleansed, the Knights ranged far and wide individually to track down the Wraiths in order to ensure they do not visit the same evil on other worlds. Rom is supposedly the greatest of such warriors and armed with neutralizer and analyzer
This issue ably tells his arrival, scaring the locals while tracking the Wraiths and because of the way he disposes them by banishing them to limbo, another dimension while still in their human guise, terrifies human's even more
However, instead of spending the full 22 pages, the other half is a tale about the history of the spaceknights. Sigh! It would have been better if this had happened a few issues in
