The rest is fine... We all knew he HAD to have an updated look. Because COMICS. I don't love it, but I would not go as far as to say it sucks. I'll still check it out.<br /><br />"Look, I have fingers now!" -Hilarious!!!<br /><br />I'm curious to see how other artists (Liefeld, Buscema, etc...) interpret the new design when they do covers...The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-65649438455534921472016-01-31T08:05:06.585-08:002016-01-31T08:05:06.585-08:00Interesting about the cover redone so many times. ...Interesting about the cover redone so many times. I didnt know that. He looks nothing like that inside. I suspect the Micronauts may be the same. Will see though. I definitely lost some hype due to the preview. Yes my address is still the same.

I really just can't comprehend what IDW was thinking with this robotic Franlenstien look they gave Rom here. I spoke to the artist who did the cover art did you know they kept on redesigning Rom's armor even after the cover art was completed and made public? It was fine just the way it was, a bit different then the original but the changes were tastefully done. Anyways, I just need to tune out of all this for a long time I'm actually kinda embarrassed I helped hype the new series on this blog.

I agree though he looks japanese magna style in this look. I wasnt holding back when I mentioned the ju ju bee head. Sal may do some cover art down the road so lets just see . One shot is not enough to to make me think he will suck.

Again, despite already knowing a good bit of marvel history, I learned a good bit of new things, and as I mentioned before, it will really tarnish the hell out of those rose-colored glasses we as fans like to wear sometimes when reflecting back on the old days of our childhood, especially about how fucking bad Marvel's business practices back then were and how even back then, how shitty they treated the very people that kept that place going. Just goes to remind us that keyword business in the phrase comic book business, 'cause, no shit right?Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-8350894719153339702016-01-21T08:54:20.003-08:002016-01-21T08:54:20.003-08:00just like with ROM IDW can only use The Micronauts...just like with ROM IDW can only use The Micronauts characters based off the toys. i just skimmed it i've never been a big book reader i can probably count all the books in my life i've read cover to cover on one hand.Shlomo Ben Hungstienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238927958290618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2178894507761299440.post-34398987290193686712016-01-21T07:25:36.461-08:002016-01-21T07:25:36.461-08:00I like the update myself, but then again I'm n...I like the update myself, but then again I'm not as personally invested in ROM like you guys are, but it's much, much better than if he'd been rebooted or reimagined over at DC or Marvel. Could you imagine how shitty he'd look then? <br /><br />Good news about ROM and the Micronauts relaunching around the same time. But they're not using Mantlo's created characters right due to Marvel owning them?<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed that secret history of Marvel comics book Shlomo. I know I did, but it really did leave a huge sour taste in my mouth about Marvel's business practices, both then and now, in large part because they obviously didn't learn much from their past mistakes.
