TALES TO ASTONISH 2010: Year In Review
(#2) by Mitch Crane
Cast: Rom, Star Lord
Antagonists Faced: Dire Wraiths
Standout Character: Rom
Best Moment: Rom and Star Lord first meet
Overall: This done in one tale is one that I have read before from Mitch, and it still stands up as well as it did the first time. Being interested in the Cosmic side of Marvel since Annihilation, I found this story to be very fun and informative as I’ve only heard about Rom and never read anything with him. It’s funny to think that a story such as this can’t be told at Marvel because of copyright issues but fits very well into fan fiction as copyright is not at the forefront of our minds when writing. The framing device of this being a tale of the past told to a child before bed is interesting and sweet at the same time as it shows Rom’s family life now in the present. Following such a model in the future many stories could be told about past Cosmic team-ups between Rom and other Marvel Cosmic heroes. Perhaps a tale of Rom and Rhomann Dey early in his Nova time or something similar.
