ROM has got a big enough cult following and interested new readers (like myself - I've heard nothing but good things about ROM) that reprinted trades would sell. Marvel and IDW split the money, everyone's happy. Though knowing the world of business, it's probably not that simple. I never understood why Marvel just didn't buy back ROM, especially now they have Disney money. I doubt Parker Brothers were really bothered about the character, and they could probably work out a deal for Marvel to get the rights?

The zero issue of ROM wasn't bad, though it'll remain to see how good he is outside of the Marvel context. I'm not sure why Marvel just didn't buy the rights back, at least for reprints. There's certainly a demand for the old ROM issues, and I'm sure Hasbro wouldn't ask that much for a toy they haven't used in how many years. Just split the money 50/50. James Gunn wanted ROM to be in Guardians of the Galaxy, so that would have spurred interest in trade papaerbacks of the original run.
