Anyone following Splash Page on Twitter is already well aware of my fondness for Marvel Comics' semi-obscure cosmic hero "ROM: Spaceknight." I regularly post links to various ROM-related images and videos readers find around the 'Net and send me, and have been known to wax poetic about my favorite moments in ROM's seven-year run battling the evil Dire Wraiths.
While ROM has made cameos in various television series like "Robot Chicken" and "South Park" over the years, there's generally been little reason to talk about him here on Splash Page... until now. Justin Aclin, editor of "ToyFare" Magazine recently sent over this early peek at a parody ad in the upcoming issue, and offered me the perfect opportunity to give ROM his due on the site.
Here's your first look at the fake ad for "ROM and Kate Plus Eight" appearing in "ToyFare" #145, on sale in comic shops July 8.
Heck, I'd not only watch this show each week... I'd buy a DVR just to record it.
Any ROM fans out there? What do you think of the fake ad in "ToyFare"?
