Stories

  • Doomsday! · 23 pages

    Rom has been grounded by a Wraith spell and, since his neutralizer is the power source for Forge's giant orbital space weapon designed to banish all Wraiths from the planet, Wraith-World continues to merge with Earth. A host of Dire Wraiths gather around Rom to gloat but their victory is short lived as Rick Jones has called in the cavalry. The heroes of Earth battle the Wraith horde and free Rom. He flies to Forge's space weapon and uses it, not only banishing Wraiths from Earth but also destroying Wraith-World completely, ending the Dire Wraith threat to the universe for all time.
