“It Takes Two to Tango!”

In "It Takes Two to Tango!", Rom faces a desperate race against time as his cloned human body begins to fail, leaving Starshine to mourn in the frozen heart of Russia. Just as hope seems lost, the enigmatic Gremlin arrives with a risky offer—reclaiming the last remnants of Rom’s humanity and restoring them to his armor. The moment Rom awakens, he’s thrust into a brutal clash with Devastator and the Super-Troopers, testing the limits of his fractured mind and machine. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema, inks by Akin and Brian Garvey, and colors by Ben Sean, this issue blends emotional weight with high-stakes action. The cover, penciled by Ian Akin and inked by Brian Garvey, captures the tension in a single, striking image.
