Rom Epic Collection: The Original Marvel Years #4

In "Renunciation! Or: What Happens When a Spaceknight's Had Enough!", Rom and Starshine race to save a children's daycare from a swarm of young Dire Wraiths, only to find their victory short-lived when Hybrid slips through the resulting rift into our world. Now hiding in plain sight as a child taken in by a Kentucky church, Hybrid turns the tables on Rom and Brandy during a baptism service, trapping the Spaceknight and stripping Starshine of her armor just as a wedding looms. With the New Mutants unexpectedly pulled into the chaos, the fate of Rom’s mission—and Brandy’s future—hangs in the balance. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Wm. Johnson with inks by Akin and Garvey, and colored by Ben Sean, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz.
