Variant “IDW RE Convention Edition ” Cover #1 by: David Messina

Far, far away, in another galaxy, the knights of the Solstar Order, defenders of justice and truth, have been ambushed by the evil magicians, the Dire Wraiths. The Solstar Order has prevailed and is now seeking out their scattered enemies. One of these spaceknights has followed the trail of the Dire Wraiths all the way to Earth. This one, the Dire Wraiths fear more than all others. This one has hounded them and kept them underground for centuries. This one alone could wipe them off the face of creation… he is, Rom the Spaceknight!

Story/Spoilers
Police officers Camilla Byers and Omar Ruiz respond to reports of a fire in the woods along Highway 101 in Northern California. On arrival, they find a group of soldiers already on the scene. The source of the disturbance is the arrival of Rom on Earth. Of the four soldiers, three are Dire Wraiths, shapeshifting alien magicians posing as Humans. Rom kills two with his Neutralizer, while the third kills officer Ruiz to power his spells and turn into a Wraith Hawk. Rom kills him too, then informs the surviving soldier and Officer Byers that their world has been infiltrated.

At Vandenberg Air Force Base, the soldier who survived Rom’s arrival is being debriefed by Earth Defense Command. At the conclusion of the briefing, they reveal themselves as Dire Wraiths and convert him.

In the town of Cooper’s Mill, Rom detects a large presence of Dire Wraiths, just as Darby Mason returns home from serving in the military overseas. Unknown to Darby, her whole family has been taken over by Dire Wraiths, and now they seek to convert her because of her access to Vandenberg.

Rom arrives just in time to save Darby from her converted family, but discovers that the entire town is full of Dire Wraiths, ones who have evolved and are more powerful than Rom has encountered before. Rom triumphs, and rescues Darby. Officer Camilla Byers, carrying a Wraithmark from her previous encounter, contacts her superiors in the police department, only to find out that she is now linked to the Dire Wraiths and can hear their telepathic communication. At Vandenberg, the surviving soldier boards a helicopter alongside members of G.I. Joe.
