Awesome / Rom: Spaceknight

Go To

  • While the title has these aplenty, one stands out. During the climax of the book, in issue 65, the Wraiths have frozen Rom in place, leaving him unable to activate the giant neutralizer. Meanwhile, Rick Jones, a "professional sidekick", has been making calls, trying to rally the many heroes he's worked with to assist Rom. Just as the Wraiths are taunting Rom about how alone he is in his fight against them, the heroes of the Marvel Universe arrive to help him. All of them.
    Captain America: The heroes of Earth would never surrender their world without a fight!!
  • Our first full look at the horrors of Wraithworld in issue #27. What else can be said of a planet that, when attacked by Galactus, tries to eat him back? In the end, it comes closer than anything seen in the 70s to almost killing Galactus, who retreats with his tail between his legs.
    • Which only adds to the awesomeness of the Space Knights that they were able to attack Wraithworld, level its cities, and expel its native denizens.
