First Look: NOVA #1

@Mucklefluga: right, so we'll just erase one of you'r long standing favourite characters and replace him with a random no-name character just for the LOLs, bet you wouldn't be bothered by that at all.

Johnny - Marry me, sir.

Might buy it but the point one story was very weak.

Eh not really diggin' the kid nova.

Rider had a meaningful death, it's time to pass on the baton. It's like Ultimate Spider-man. Pete died and he got replaced by a random no-name character that turned out to be awesome! Don't be so negative about it!

I am not amused.I don't think that this would be any good.

Screw nova and especially the kid nova because I want a gamora series dam it marvel and I am only getting this comic because of her. I hate her space suit there going to give her and hope she is used a lot in the guardians of the galaxy comic and movie too. I only care about gamora at this point because she does get enough spot light so power to the green women.

Awesome, can't wait for this to drop.

It would have only been meaningful if writers had paid respect to it but they haven't. Nova and Star Lord killed themselves so they could kill Thanos and the Cancerverse yet both Thanos and Star Lord are now alive and nobody as even so much as mentioned The Fault so Novas whole death as be rendered redundant, not to mentioned when Nova died so did the Nova Force so it makes no sense what so ever why there is now a whole Corps running around in Loebs vanity project

where is Richard Rider

So this Nova is just a kid?

The new Nova is bad-ass. He tackled Cyclops in AvX.

@Mucklefluga said:

So i'm guessing people are still p***ed about Dick Rider not being around. And change and a new direction isn't allowed ever.

Laughed so much more than the socially acceptable amount :(

Richard, where are you??

id be interested if it wasnt jeph i cant stand his writing

No thanks.

the old Nova commanded an army that spanned the galaxy and included the Skrull, Kree, Badoon, all of the Heralds of Galactus, Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Quasar, Beta Ray Bill, Negative Zone Rebels, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer and Star Lord and he even killed Annihilus with his bare hands

Ed Mcguiness! I think his chunky, bold art style was essentially made to draw Hulk, so I pretty much dropped that book when he did. Hopefully this is a worthy use of his time.

One thing that really irritates me is that Loeb says Nova's power comes from the helmet....

Of all the things I've read of Nova I've never ever seen it said the power comes from the helmet. Show's how much he knows of Nova.

Those variant covers are amazing, but the real appeal for me is the interior pencils by Ed McGuinness.

Hahaha :)

Look, the new Nova is jealous of his little sister. That's original.

I have to agree, Gamora has been an amazing character, though the fact they got rid of her dagger that can kill anything, until apparently she tried to use it then it just broke... lame... anyway, now what? Still, love her, want her desperately to be a main character in marvel.

looks like a fun book.

Im all for a good space-themed book. Always liked Nova. Lets see how this goes.

Agreed, yet again.

If folks haven't read Annihilation - then you probably don't have an appreciation for Rider. I'm not going to write off the kid entirely - but after reading what Rider did as a commander of an intergalactic army it's tough not to admire him; not just as a Soldier but as a Human. While I'm waxing poetic about it - I'm going to just lay it out there; Annihilation has been the best story Marvel has pushed out in at least 13 years going away. Feel free to argue should you like - however I don't think Civil War stands up in case folks were going to take up arms for that cause.

obviously did not read Thanos Imperative and all leading up to it which I call the Marvel Cosmic Epic. (MCE for short.)

I don't really know who Nova is but I really love the art in the second issue cover. It looks like a japanese sentai character.

Looks like McGuinness is in top form from these first couple of pages.

Go away, Sam. You too, Loeb.

Instant follow, good sir.

@SmashBrawler: I know, right ? But hey - I called dibs on him first.

don't like Loeb that much, but I'll give this a shot

@neiliusprime: I guess you can't change the view for a die-hard Rider fan.

Might scoop up first issue and see if it grabs me. I'm not much of a Loeb fan, but maybe he can change my mind.

leobs involved. not reading.

This looks kinda cool, I will definitely give Sam a chance! I like the way he handled Diamondhead in Marvel NOW's Point One.

You just earned a follow too.

Just a bit intrigued. They can't not address the ambiguity about Rider though IMO

Sure hope you're right, sir.

Amazing! This is why I love comics. While people were annoyed by the changes to Ultimate Spider-Man, and much of the Marvel NOW! stuff, it has brought me over the line, and now, I'm reading Marvel comics as well as DC, which brought me back into comics after a long drought of maybe nine years with the New 52.

They made some no-name like Miles, and actually developed him and his story into a fun, accessible comic. That is my joy with comics. Now, DC's editing...

It is my opinion that this is the best time to read comics.

I already explained why thats all false

@Jonny_Anonymous: What's false? Call me lazy, but I don't feel like looking. Or searching. That word has more action involved, lol.

Thus why the industry feeds us refuse and folks collectively nod their head in how scrumptious it is. Somewhere, Oliver Twist is shaking his head in disgust.

@Twentyfive ^^^^

@Grey56: Listen, sir. You don't know me, so don't condescend on me, fool. Is it wrong for me to be intrigued by this new comic that Marvel puts out, no matter who's writing, or who calls himself NOVA?

I could not care less. Take that stuff elsewhere bro.

@Jonny_Anonymous: Yikes. Hmm. That is bad. Wow. That sucks, if you ask me. I know Sam isn't going to face Thanos, and Thanos is normally reserved for events. That is one downside to the comic industry.
