Reference excerpt

Rom: Dire Wraiths is a superhero comic book miniseries by Chris Ryall, Luca Pizzari, Guy Dorian Sr and Sal Buscema. Based on Hasbro's Rom the Space Knight franchise and published by IDW Publishing, it follows the Dire Wraiths and acts as a spin-off prequel to the 2016—2017 Rom series, also being the final title in the Hasbro Comic Book Universe. The series debuted on January 15, and concluded on December 30, 2020, following the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the comic book industry.

Premise The main story features NASA's Apollo 11 astronaut crew during the 1969 Moon landing, where they will confront the inhuman presence of Dire Wraiths waiting to conquer Earth. A back-up story features what happened to Rom during those events.

Publication history

Background After IDW Publishing acquired the comic book licence of Rom and other Hasbro brands, the company announced in January 2016 the Reconstruction campaign to converge these franchises in the Hasbro Comic Book Universe, featuring the crossover events Revolution and First Strike. This shared continuity, the Hasbro Comic Book Universe (HCBU), ended with Transformers: Unicron in November 2018.

Development The series was revealed to be in development at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. The series contains three issues written by returning Rom writer Chris Ryall, with art by Luca Pizzari. A back-up story was written by Ryall, with art by returning artists Guy Dorian Sr. (pencils) and Sal Buscema (inks). Ryall said that "returning to Rom for any reason is a happy occasion. Being able to use this story as a way to celebrate the monumental journey of American heroes is even better". The series debuted on January 15, 2020. Due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic over comic book industry, the third and final issue was delayed for December 30 the same year.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rom: Dire Wraiths

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rom: Dire Wraiths claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rom: Dire Wraiths before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rom: Dire Wraiths ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rom: Dire Wraiths

In research: Rom: Dire Wraiths appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rom: Dire Wraiths in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rom: Dire Wraiths is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2020 comics debuts, 2020 comics endings, Apollo 11, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rom: Dire Wraiths outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
