Banishing your blues to Limbo with a funny Rom related comic strip

Left click to enlarge


Just by chance I came across this little Rom related comic strip by Brad Dwyer. I thought it was pretty funny mostly because of the dialogue it sounds a lot like something I would be thinking if I were in the same situation. Although I think I would have dropped the "F" bomb after the word complete in the second panel.


And on the matter of back issues and other such comic book related matters I thought you all might like to have a look at my local comic shop. That theater right next to it is where I saw Iron Man 3 last weekend. It's the first time I had been there for years ironically but I should make a point of going there to see movies more often as a matter of supporting local businesses.
I'm looking for some opinions on this other Rom fan art I just found. I like the colors, the layout and Bill Sienkiewicz like style but the way this guy drew Rom him self just kinda spoiled this piece for me: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1013293&GSub=121187

  1. I give the guy/gal props for putting in the effort to show his/her love for ol' toasterhead, as well as for not going overboard with Rom's physique like so many artists do when drawing superheroes. The artist gets an "A" for creativity, too, if not for refined talent.

  2. I like it. I'm not sure I'd like a whole comic of that style, unless it was Hellboy or BPRD, but in a one off for ROM, just as a cover or poster, it kind of feels like they dragged ROM into the world of horror comics. Which is a definite possibility, cause those wraiths are straight up disgusting.
