File:Rom Vol 1 45 001.jpg

Description
Rom lays the body of his clone to rest in Russia and after telling his story of how his mission is to rid the world of the Wraiths, the Gremlin who has been accompanying Rom and his lover Starshine reveals he suspects that there are Wraiths in Russia. The Soviet Super Soldiers are summoned by the Commissar of State who asks them to go forth and protect the base within the Dead Zone from the Gremlin who is an enemy of the State. The heroes agree to do so, only for the people of Russia as they no longer serve the State, but what they don’t know is that the Commissar is actually a Wraith and, of course, lying to them. Rom, Gremlin and Starshine arrive at the Dead Zone moments before Darkstar and her team, and of course a battle begins. When the Gremlin sneaks away to the base, knowing he has to find a way to destroy it, Major Ursus follows him, and returns badly wounded just after peace is made between Rom and Vanguard, to inform everyone that the base has been housing Wraiths intent on destroying Russia.
