Incidentally, if we want to dive deep into the nerd locker, Rom is awfully close to a robot. His “humanity” was supposedly stored in a jar back on Galador, ready to be restored as soon as the Wraith menace was dealt with for good. That story element got more complicated toward the end of the series, but I don’t want to spoil that, because more people should read Rom. It’s Bill Mantlo’s best work bar none.
If you’re wondering why Zor is trying to use his cyborg mittens to manipulate chopsticks..go back about 7 weeks and check out his debut strip with Kestrel. It’s pretty integral to joining the Justice Corps.

Continuity, people! You’ll also notice that the figures casting silhouettes in the backgrounds lately are actual characters from previous strips. Genius!
