Bummer. I'm not a huge Nova fan and don't really buy anything featuring him (aside from the Annihilation hardcovers - I did buy those) but I doubt I'll even bother reading this.
How is Loeb continuing to get work? I don't understand. The reviews on his work are horrible - whether he sells or not I can't believe Marvel would be willing to subject themselves to long-term damage his work causes as far as customer reception.
I'd highly recommend the rest of the post Annihilation era stuff, maybe not the last arc or so of Nova though it kinda lagged in that Sphinx arc
Loeb continues to get work cause he has a contract, also he sells like gangbusters despite the fact that he writes for six year olds
Nova has apparently lost his legs
They've always done that to play into the "human rocket" line
I dunno, i like McGuinness.
and you would be wrong, categorically: He draws like it's for coloring books, he lacks compositional skills, sucks at panelling, no natural sense of scaling, anatomy or perspective. He's terrible is what I'm getting at
Anyway, cheer up. That might be a completely new Nova.
and thats better how? they've spent the last five years building up Richard Rider as a solid character, and they've set themselves up with the chance to make a hell of a return. Why would they flush that all down the toilet to start over with a new character when they don't need one? this would fall into the same territory as Black Panther becoming the new man without fear, sure they could do it but WHY?
I don't, and about as much as Loeb for writing.
Bingo
Cool for you bro.
Don't do that
I kinda do and don't like McGuiness' art. There's aspects about it's cartoony, chunky, toy-like style I really enjoy, but it looks... vacant almost. Characters don't seem to interact with their surroundings, it lacks an internal reality, and it lacks subtlety which would be fine for say, 300, but not appropriate for something like Clark Kent who doesn't work if he looks like a bodybuilder. Maybe I like his art but not his choices? I'm not sure.
He's definitely got a character set that he can pull off, big muscle bound bruisers. which Nova
does not fall into at all he's the human rocket not a friggin sledgehammer
I do not like this.
Damn. There goes my idea of a awesome Starlord/Nova comic of them traveling through the multiverse trying to get back to 616.
And it can't be a new Nova, Ryder took the entire Nova Force upon him when he and Starlord faced Thanos.
precisely, NOTHING of the Nova force nor the Worldmind was in the 616 universe when the fault collapsed, and if the Nova force could travel between dimension the worldmind (wich is Ko-Rel who has an attachment to Rider) would have certainly brought Richard AND Peter over
Who knows? It's a one shot anyway. This isn't the only point on teaser either btw.
Yes and the other teaser is teasing what Bendis will be doing in one of his Avengers books. Other creative teams listed for the story include the Defenders team, the Red Hulk team, etc. This is hinting at what these writers will be doing in 2012, wether this means Nova's coming back in Avengers X-Sanction, his own series, or something else completely it doesn't matter. He's coming back and Loeb's involved and thats disgusting
Also either Rider's gotten a demotion or this team is already demonstrating their ignorance to continuity. the four pronged star helmet means your a Nova Denarian, wich is like the middle child of the Nova Corps. While he still has the Centurion starburst pattern on his chest.
But that's a little nitpicky
