Description

The evil Dire Wraiths have escaped to Earth, but are hounded by a Knight of the Solstar Order, the one feared more than all others. He is Rom, the Wraith-slayer. Rom, the Spaceknight! The evil Dire Wraiths have escaped to Earth, but are hounded by a Knight of the Solstar Order, the one feared more than all others. He is Rom, the Wraith-slayer. Rom, the Spaceknight! Having followed the Dire Wraiths across the galaxy, Rom finds they have infiltrated all levels of society, hiding in plain sight. Replacing many humans in key leadership positions, the Wraiths' plan to dominate the planet--and everyone on it--is gaining momentum. But Rom finds resistance from the humans as well, who fear he is just another alien invading Earth. He is joined in the battle by two other Solstar Knights... but are they here as friends or foes? Collects all 14 issues of the series, the 2017 Annual, and the Rom- Revolution one-shot.

Reviews

"Writers Chris Ryall and Christos Gage apply some clever spins to this series' time-honored tropes, but the real superstar of this series is artist David Messina, whose fluid style smoothly brings Rom into the 21st century." --David Pepose, Newsarama "IDW Publishing and Hasbro Entertainment are onto a sure-fire winner with Rom." --Paul Bowler, Sci-Fi Jubilee
