Stories

  • Turnabout Is Fair Play! · 21 pages

    Rom leads Galactus to the Dark Nebula and invites him to feast on the Wraith's home universe. Galactus tries every trick in his arsenal to consume Wraith World but is almost destroyed by the toxic planet. Furious at his failure to eat, yet amused by Rom's ingenuity in trying to defeat him, Galactus decides to allow Rom and his companions to live. In retaliation, however, he relocates Galador to an unknown sector of space, leaving the Spaceknights stranded with no idea of how to get home.

Publisher’s description

Rom and the Spaceknights of Galador return to Wraithworld, the home planet of their most hated enemy. It was the setting for their greatest victory. And now they have returned with Galactus as an ally to finish what they started over two centuries ago. However, there reside things in the Dark Nebula that even the Devourer of Worlds may fear.
