==Notes==
*The series was originally solicited as ''ROM: The Space Knight'', but for reasons likely involving [[Marvel Comics]], the subtitle was dropped upon release.
*Yes, the series title is spelled in all caps. It's more dramatic that way.
*To promote the launch of the series, IDW released [http://www.idwpublishing.com/rom-covers-month-july/ a series of Rom-themed crossover covers] in July 2016.
