ROM #32 Cover art re-imagined

I really like where the artist was going with this it's too bad they never quite got around to finishing it. I don't think I ever had a name to go along with this art work but if the artist should happen to find this posting please let me know who you are so that I can properly accredit your work here. At any rate good job this coould have made for a really good variant cover of this issue that features the return of one of ROM's most deadliest enemies.

    Jut wanted to let you know that I included IKON in a "dream" Defenders cover I drew for the Marvel Fifty-too blog:

    Also, I can't remember if you saw these Rom fan drawings:

    ya know i was thinking about your Covered blog had this piece been more of a finished work instead of being in a sketch phase. i actually left that comment on the Cornered blog back in Feb. for the ROM #9 posting.

    The Hybrid storyline was something else such a dark feel to it! Man its been I don't know how many years since I read this story but the feel of it holds so clear in my head!

    This Hybrid truly gave Rom hell and you know what's funny I just finished watching the movie the Thing which in some ways felt like this story in some ways! Love the variant look to the cover as well very creepy!

    Hybrid was "one ugly mother fucker" but an absolute badass it's too bad Marvel didn't utilize him more after the ROM series like they did with the Dire Wraiths.

    My wish would be for Michael Golden to do the entire series of Rom as "Re-imagined" covers. (And for Sal Buscema to re-do all the crappy last issues, especially the Gen2 Spaceknights - absolutely horrendous).

    the Steve Dikto run on the ROM series was a very sad period in my childhood. Dikto's atrocious pencils toward the end of the ROM series was one of my earliest posting topics on this blog. thanks for the comments everybody still no word from Abnett by the way if you wanna know what i though of Annihilators Earthfall #2 you can see my comment at: http://xmanscomicblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/annihilators-earthfall-2.html
