Not sure, asked Whirly that recently.

He did attend Rick's wedding with Marlo Chandler. In human form, as Marvel was already missing the rights (?), but it was him, he was called by his name and recalled their history.

His "death" happened later, off-panel, I believe. Annihilators series explored that, I think? They also introduced She-Rom.

We had a few Rom fans on the board, but they're no longer posting.

Sure, they just need the rights back - without them, they're quite limited in using/mentioning the character.

yeah, all true. Rom really deserves more love. Little secret, I am a big Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Surfer fan in Marvel. I've read almost everything they are in.

Thank you, that info coincides with the history that I looked up on Rom, and yes Marvel is notorious for bringing everything back from death and destruction, to me it cheapens the quality of many of their stories.

Over in DC. 'the last Superman story' involving pre crisis Supes ended with him permanently removing his own powers with gold kryptonite, but it was explained that story arc was an imaginary tale and PC Superman may still be out there somewhere.

I am quite behind with Superman, he is still my fav'rit but, the days when I'd read every appearance are 15 years in the past and will never come again.

I'll like to know how the Galadorians switch their people from human to cyborg and back again in detail.

yeah I really have, I read physically up to about 2006, since then I've used the online "free sites" more and more. I have a pretty solid run of Iron Man from about 110 up to 300, Thor from the Celestial saga upto Set. Iron Man from when Jack of hearts was his understudy on yhe moon up to Extremis and Hulk from around 220 to about 400, so all the lovely stuff with people like Woodgod is mine. I read online now mostly, location and cost tbh.

I admit I read nothing like I once did. Electronic comics are not the same yet and every trope is old. You can only read the same story updated so many times. This is particularly true for Hulk.

I have a secret of my own, as Superman is my fave, there is a popular theory on this forum that I hate the Hulk, very far from the truth, in fact the for decades have always been in my top 5-7 favorites along with Superman, Thor, Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Capt. Marvel ( Billy ) Spider-Man ( at one time ) anyone else comes behind them.

Fair enough.

Why you never share any of that sacred knowledge despite being the most active member of KMC, then? 😂

Nothing wrong with reading online. Modern scans (or official remastered digital versions) of books are - in some ways - even better and more detailed than physical copies these days - as ridiculous as it sounds.

That.....isn't the popular theory about you, lawest....

Absolutely agree, most true fans of comics go through liking different phases of characters. Usually due to writers and artists. For me the Schwartz, Danny O'Neil Neil Adams Batman is Batman. All others are shit next to it. Gerry Conway and Sal Buscema do the best Spidey and Miller the best Daredevil.

I used to, but I'm one of those people who reads comics for entertainment. I don't read more into it than that so using a story as facts isn't my thing. I don't buy into them enough for that Stilt, I don't remember or reread them much anyway. Too much out there and not enough time.

I know what you mean, many feel that Chris Clairemont and Dave Cockrum are the X-Men and John Romita popular on Spider-Man.

Denny, spell checked does it again. The recent Samsung update is a *****.

Turn off spellcheck.

Predictive text technology is for the weak, multitap is the way to go.

Surfer wins. This shouldn’t be close.
