In the penultimate issue of the unforgettable space adventure, The Musketeers find themselves in another new biome-a vast metropolis teeming with humanoid creatures, but they wonder if their search will be in vain.

I’m really enjoying this thrilling and heartwarming journey of three cybernetically enhanced service animals aboard the Starship Horizon. Pichetshote and Lonergan, delve deeper into the sci-fi action and animal heroics in this issue, that have made the series a standout in 2024. Lonergan’s art continues to impress, with a sense of whimsy that contrasts with the darker undertones of the story. The visuals are both captivating and emotionally resonant, making us feel deeply connected to the characters and their plight.

This issue continues to deliver the dark and gritty storytelling that fans of John Constantine have come to expect. With Swamp Thing appearing as a guest star this feels just like a continuation of their adventures from Alan Moore’s days.

Meanwhile, Rom’s human friend Brandy Clark is transformed, and the impending arrival of the dreaded Dweller on the Threshold may spell doom for all! It’s a cosmic epic featuring Doctor Strange, the In-Betweener, the Living Tribunal… and the human form of Rom?! Has he been freed from his armor at long last? All that, plus the Skrulls, the ever-lovin’ Thing — and a tragedy that even Rom cannot withstand!
Collecting ROM (1979) #30-50 and ANNUAL #1-2, and MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE (1974) #99.
You should all know ROM is one of my favourite comic book series. This is the highly anticipated second volume of this collection that continues to chronicle the adventures of ROM the Spaceknight. This second omnibus is packed with thrilling storylines and epic battles. Rom’s relentless quest to rid Earth of the Dire Wraiths brings him face-to-face with formidable foes such as the Metal Master, Mystique, and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, as well as allies like Namor, Shang-Chi, Doctor Strange, and the Thing. This huge volume would make a fantastic addition to any comic book collection. It offers a perfect blend of action, drama, and character development, making it an essential read for both long-time fans, like myself, and for newcomers who have never experienced the wonderful world of ROM.
