Hey Groovster!
ReplyDeleteI was always a huge fan of ROM. But was bummed when they killed off Torpedo & a lot of the supporting cast. I wish they make a Rom movie off this series. I hope Disney Marvel buys Rom one day! Or at least the rights to bring back the character & do a few movies.Love ROM Mondays Groovy One! You Rock!
I share your bumminess, Mike. I think they wanted to shake things up, but ended up slaughtering a solid touchpoint. I think this was why Sal left the book, to be honest.
DeleteLoved ROM - and think it would be a great Netflix series.
