First Look: NOVA #2

The first issue went on sale this week. Here's a glimpse of what's coming in issue #2.

NOVA #1 came out this week and we're seeing how Sam Alexander, the new Nova, came about getting his powers and the role. We saw a 'first look' at issue #2 back in January but it was a black and white preview. Today's preview contains one of those pages but in color as well as another page and the variant cover by J. Scott Campbell.

No Caption Provided
Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Nova #2, from the critically acclaimed creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness! Welcome Sam Alexander to the Nova Corps: the Universe’s Police Force! With helmet in hand, Sam is about to take on a grand legacy across galaxies! But when you add a green lady and a raccoon into the mix – will he make it home in time for dinner?

This March, Jeph Loeb & Ed McGuinness head to the skies and beyond in Nova #2!

Nova #2 (JAN130705)

Written by JEPH LOEB

Art & Cover by ED MCGUINNESS

What's wrong with Rocket racoon's face on the variant? Everyone seems to draw him totally different. Also Gamora doesn't have that costume anymore.

Yeah, you're right. She should probably take it off. ;-)

The events of the comic take place a few months before where the Marvel universe is now.

I like that they're both in their old costumes. I'm not a fan of the new Mass Effect-inspired ones.

I hope Rocket and Gamora aren't there because of what happened in the flashback in issue 1 because that had so many continuity flaws.

Man, I love Campbell's style. No, not just because Gamora's super hot here. The whole cover is just fantastic. Shame my LCS doesn't get variants. I'll have to settle with the .jpg.

As good as this looks I can't help but think of educational public access shows.

Rocket looks like a dog with chipmunk teeth in that Campbell variant. There was tons of continuity issues in #1 too. I really wish this was just a new series with Rich Rider, but nope. I do think it is terrible that Jeph Loeb's son Sam passed away, and I think it's really cool that Marvel let him name a new character after Sam too, but having Peter Quill coming outta the Cancerverse (Bendis will be addressing the Cancerverse in GotG)without Rich is weak as all hell. As much as I'm looking forward to the new GotG series (DnA made the last vol. my favorite comic) the new Nova falls flat to me without Rich Rider, and Marvel are doing a terrible disservice to any of their fans who stuck with Marvel Cosmic. They could have created a new character instead of taking up a new Nova, especially since the whole Nova force was wiped out on Xandar, and Rider was the last Nova alive, Marvel should have brought Rider back, and let Loeb create a whole new character for Marvel NOW!

Anybody else notice that there is not ONE new character created for Marvel NOW! with their own title?
