Strange #177
In "A boulets rouges," Rom, Starshine, and the Gremlin confront the lingering aftermath of Rom's cloned human body, burying it with quiet resolve. With the Gremlin guiding them to a compromised Russian compound overrun by Wraiths, the Soviet Super Soldiers—despite their distrust of authority—join forces to hunt down insurgents in the Khystym region. As tensions flare and old enemies clash, Rom must quickly discern friend from foe when the battle reveals a shocking truth: the soldiers are not Wraiths, but mutants caught in a web of deception. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey, and colors by Ben Sean, this 1984 issue features a cover by Jean Frisano.

Rom, Starshine and the Gremlin bury Rom's cloned human body. The Gremlin leads the Spaceknights to a Russian compound that has been taken over by Wraiths. Even though they no longer trust the government, the Soviet Super Soldiers agree to track down enemies of the state who have wreaked havoc in the Khystym region. They battle Rom and his allies until Rom realizes that they are mutants and not Wraiths. The two groups agree to unite against a common foe, just as the Wraiths attack.
