RETRO HUNDRED WORD HIT #7 - ROM #18
Rom #18 by Bill Mantlo & Sal Buscema
For readers who didn’t get #17 there’s a helpful 3 page recap - for those that did, ignore it.
Hybrid - the Dire Wraith/Human hybrid watches Rom fight the X-Men, but then decides to get involved and starts to turn on the X-Men.
Kitty Pryde eventually gets hold of Rom’s Neutralizer gun and blasts Hybrid, killing him but this creates a vortex sucking Rom into it.
This was a fun two-parter the art by Sal Buscema was nice, and there was probably enough in it for X-Men readers to stick with Rom for a few more issues.
