Brock Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I was a huge fan of this series when it came out, and thought the stories were awesome. However, I was 13… I will buy one of these to see if they still stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro. Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It was a fun book. I hope they title it ROMnibus but they won't. Instead of dropping $125 sight unseen, probably better to dig up a few issues of the series on the cheap to see if you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Browning Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Rom is one of the better series Marvel published during that time. In my opinion, it stands with Tomb of Dracula and Master of Kung Fu as one of the most consistently-good series from beginning to end. I have the full run collected in custom-bound hardcovers, but I will still be buying the omnibuses. NoMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 With the "Venomnibus" and "Marvel Zomnibus", there is precedent for Marvel giving some titles appropriate, yet stupid, names. Since this announcement simply refers to the book as Rom Omnibus Vol 1, we are likely stuck with that title. However, you know, and I know, and we all know, that this book will forever be a "Romnibus" in our hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Also interesting, Rom is getting THREE different cover options, while I think MIcronauts is getting four??? It's getting pretty ridiculous. I was ok with the DM vs "regular" cover variant situation, but when they started adding a third cover, it seemed to be taking it a little far. FOUR covers? Really preying on the completists out there. Full disclosure: I bought all of the cover options for the Aliens omnis (2 each per four volumes), but that's because I'm a special boy.

shadroch Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I first read it in college and liked it well enough. Last year I read 1--10 and liked it less. I think the second half of the run was better than the first, but it wasn't a must read. The Annual with Gladiator was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover to issue 1 as the standard, along with title splash to issue 1 variant, cover to issue 17 with the X-Men, and a Perez cover variant of a illustration he did which I think is the weakest of the group.

Thanks, I THOUGHT there were four, but when I posted I couldn’t find the fourth. The Perez cover is an interesting choice, as it really has no importance to the character other than “Hey, cool George drawing!” The guy who commissioned it from George is on the Masterworks forum, apparently he sold it a few years ago. Wild what Marvel will dig up for an unnecessary variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
