Well it seems that Captain America 311 turned out to have even more in store for us then just the flash back cameo of Rom#14. After I wrote and published that posting I gave the issue a thorough reading and it turned out to be an over all good issue. Steve Rogers during an interview at Marvel Comics is offered a job penciling Captain America. Ok the irony here is a bit heavy handed but I still love it. Plus I found me some Rom Easter Eggs!

They shouldn't be too hard to spot so I'll leave it up to you good people to find em : ) Truly a dollar well spent. By the way I never knew Steve Rogers could draw!?
And here's another Easter Egg of sorts. The Avengers movie DVD and Blue Ray contains a documentary in the special features called
Marvel Studios Building a Cinematic Universe. At one point it features a moving montage of Avengers images and clip art in which from 8:08 to 8:12 we see the cover of
Avengers #221 which as most of you know featured Rom on the cover. I hardly think there's a Rom fan out there who doesn't have or at least has seen this cover but just in case you can get a better look at it here:

Next posting, Rom gets involved in the 2012 presidential race, more Easter eggs, even some Rom body art that you've never seen before and even more!
cmon people i feel like i'm a teacher in class trying to find somebody out there who can give me an answer to the question i threw out to the students. just to make sure that there's no confusion "Easter eggs" are small specific references among a collection of varied visual items on a given panel or page. anybody? . . anybody?
ReplyDeleteMan, I'm trying to see. Is there a ROM action figure on the shelf in the first panel? Or is that just a random robot? It's hard to tell. My eyes are getting old.
ReplyDeleteI did know Steve was an artist, isn't that how he hooked up with Bernie? I thought so, anyway.
I am so stoked for the Avengers dvd release! I might watch it three times in a row. :)
Gods of Galador! have the Dire Wraith cast a spell of black magic on my posting? their sorcery has been used before to warp the perceptions of their enemies. especially in Rom Annual 2 which caused Rom to fight his fellow spaceknights and in Rom #50 which helped the Dire Wraiths get the drop on The Torpedo Brock Jones.
DeleteWell, it might explain your sudden change in speech patterns. :) I'll get a shotgun and stand next to the front door until you get here with the neuralizer. Just in case.
DeleteSeems EVERY issue is a ROM title.
ReplyDeleteclose enough good job! time for a new posting :)
DeleteFellow collectors who want to get ROM's cameo on the Avengers Blu-ray! WE HAVE TO BUY IT AT TARGET! Look at Target's Sunday circular http://weeklyad.target.com/ for the picture of their exclusive bonus disc, it has the name of that documentary on it, so ROM's Avengers #221 appearance may not show up on the regular discs you'd get at any other store. I also found out that the bonus disc is not available with the DVD, only the Blu-ray, and I think it's cheaper this week only.
ReplyDeleteSorry Dave was out of town this weekend but I must say I still didn't catch what the egg was in this I just couldn't get a large enough visual to make out any specific details!
ReplyDeletedude, take a closer look at the spinner racks.
