Rom, Spaceknight reboot

Anyone else reading the new Rom?
It's just based on the licence from Hasbro, so, no Marvel universe. That means no Brandy Clark, no Firefall, no SHIELD, no Torpedo, Claireton, Galador, Hybrid, or any of the other trappings of the mythology Bill Mantlo created.
On the other hand, we have GI Joe and Tranformers, and soon, MASK, so it's not exactly a virgin universe.

It's dedicated to Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, and has a variant cover by Sal, so the authors are certainly paying their respects to the old series.

Sweet zombie Jesus.
This happened.

Crossovers to advertise other comics

So Rom now shares a universe with GI Joe, My Little Pony and Street Fighter?

I'm surprisingly OK with this.

No guest script by Bill I'm guessing

You know what else happened? Those trips

I don't like the new weapons, but the next writer/artist can always remodel them.
He might be able to get by without Brandy and Steve, but no Galador? That's a real big difference.

I've never read the old Rom books, what were they like?

This bothers me much more than it ever should.

But… what should she be holding?
