Unnecessary
For 'the future of comics', this comic was really pathetic. The creators decided to attempt to mimic motion through a variety of effects- the cover, for instance, is supposed to give one the feeling that Nova is jumping off the page at us, so to speak. You could call the new format innovative and creative, and I don't know if I could argue about either of those points, but you know what else this new format is? Kind of wasteful.
These days, comics are expensive, and this new format will result in a larger page count (of for those who read comics digitally, larger file size, I guess?). Marvel will be able to drag out the events of a story longer than before, and charge the readers more for it. Granted, the movement-mimicking effects are kind of nifty, but is it really necessary?
Nothing much actually happened in this issue- most of it was spent watching Nova fly through space, telling us he likes Snickers, his father and dubstep (yeah, thanks for that, Marvel, hope the money was worth it). This new format seems to be about more flashy art and less actual content, and do we, as readers, really want or need it?
