Marvel's Original Sin Will Make You Give A Hoot About Characters
Mark Waid crafts a solid cosmic story that's delightfully grounded, while Jim Cheung and Paco Medina dish out crisp, beautiful art. [*Spoilers for Original Sin #0 below!] The story opens with Nova, who goes through a brief flashback explaining his daddy issues Then he battles a giant god, after which an Avengers encounter gives us what is[...]
Elevator Pitch: What Hero Do You Want To See On The Silver Screen? Nova!
Thus begins the trail leading from a lost legacy. GREAT FEEDBACK I was actually surprised by the response showing that Nova had more shout outs than any other That said, I think AudioPhantom was very correct I'd go one farther by saying this could be better than Super 8, plus a huge ATM for Marvel/Disney[...]
Forty-Seven Thoughts About Forty-Seven Comics – Aquaman, Nova, Avengers World, Pandora, My Little Pony, Batwoman, Iron Man, New Avengers, X-Men, Harley Quinn, Aphrodite IX, Undertow, Suicide Squad, Suicide Risk, Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Terminator, Buffy, Daredevil, Uncanny X-Men, Superior Spider-Man, Superman Unleashed, Ms Marvel, Loki, Okko, Samurai Jack, Witcher, Utrom Empire, Supergirl, Sex Criminals, Adventure Time, Clockwork Angels, Cure, A Voice In The Dark,, BPRD, White Suits, Skyman, Zero, Dark Horse Presents, Transformers,  Magic, Illegitimates, GI Joe, Fuse, Lazarus And Rocket Girl
And good to know they can both read better than a pony… From Nova… hang on, didn't they have a Skrull Invasion not that long ago? Didn't Fear Itself get everywhere? How about when the Thanos took away half the population? What about Galactus? Surely even this hick town couldn't have missed it all? Avengers World manages[...]
Forty-Three Thoughts About Forty-Three  Comics – Veil, Darkness, New Warriors, Nova, Tales Of Honor, Action Comics, Uncanny X-Men, Phantom Stranger, Moon Knight, Wolverine & The X-Men, Wild Blue Yonder, Sinister Dexter, Gate-Way, Rogue Trooper, She-Hulk, Loki, The Movement, Arkham War, Earth 2, Batwing, Green Lantern, Adventure Time, Evil Empire, Wild Blue Yonder, Suicide Risk, Garfield, Day Men, Shadow Now, Twilight Zone, Bad Blood, Terminator, Lobster Johnson, Grindhouse, Victories, Catalyst Comix, Apocalypse Al, Drumhellar, Clone, Evil Empire, Revival, Saviors, Velvet And Secret
And certainly not expose it to young children. Well, in Darkness, even if you don't make friends, you certainly influence people. Sometimes you don't need to have someone say "fuck you, dickweed." Sometimes, as in Tales Of Honor, an expression says it all. Retcon alert! Retcon alert! Today's Nova shows us when the first Nova first met Beta[...]
We Have A New Name For Beta Ray Bill
  From today's Nova I'm not sure if Dan Slott would call this a spoiler, it's more of a tease But, you know, spoiler warnings anyway Belt and braces. When Thor was cloned in Civil War, the resulting creature was known as Clor. When Doc Octopus invaded and possessed the body Spider-Man, he became known as SpOck. So I[...]
Marvel's New Trademarks – From Drax The Destroyer To Eternals
They have now added Thunderbolts, Tales Of Suspense, Nova, Heroes For Hire, Hawkeye, Eternals, Drax The Destroyer, Daredevil, Black Widow and Defenders. Just trademarks usually indicate an intention to publish solo books under those titles, or to consolidate the trademarks for books currently or recently published There is a notable presence of digital comics in the[...]
Forty-One Thoughts About Forty Comics – Uber, Uncanny X-Men, Wolverine & The X-Men, Satellite Sam, Sinister Dexter, Skin Trade, Three, Chew, Manifest Destiny, Wasteland, Batman, Batgirl, Wolverine, Deathmatch, 3 Guns, Nova, Thunderbolts, Adventure Time, Krampus, Protocol Orphans, Drumhellar, GI Joe, Justice League #3000, Superboy, Unity, Harbinger, A Boy And A Girl, Warlock, Doc Savage, GI Joe Special Missions, Indestructible, Alex + Ada, Lazarus, Memory Collectors, Dead Body Road, Powerpuff Girls, Star Trek, Wraith And X-Files
You cheat. Obamacare, avoided, in Nova. So, we have a new weakness for Venom in Thunderbolts Magnesium It's a reason for Flash Thompson not to eat raw spinach before putting on the suit, then High in magnesium, you see. Very little in sweets and candy though So the cast of Adventure Time: Candy Capers #6 would be next[...]
Forty-Six Thoughts About Forty-Five Comics – Kick Ass 3, Black Science 1, Aphrodite IX, Damsels, Jonah Hex, Justice League Dark, Dark Shadows, Five Ghosts, Infinity Heist, Infinity Hunt, Nova, Conan, Itty Bitty Hellboy, Half Past Danger, Goon,  Infinity, Avengers Assemble, Powers, Doctor Who, THUNDER Agents, Ghostbusters, GI Joe, TMNT, Judge Dredd, Maxx, Peabody & Sherman, X-Files, Zombie Tales, Captain Midnight, Dark Knight, Criminal Macabre, Wolverine And The X-Men. Forever Evil: ARGUS, Teen Titans, Superman, Revival, Danger Girl, Morning Glories, Tom Strong, Walking Dead, Thief Of Thieves, Star Trek, Hawkeye, Flash, Aquaman
And he had one of those Superior Spider-Man spy things, too. Nova's version of reality may owe something to reality, but I so want that Punisher reaction to be the true one. There's a lot of smelling going on this week Dark Shadows has the smell of death about one character… The smell of sulphur and pheromones on[...]

Odds are it will include Annihilation: Prologue, mini-series Silver Surfer, Super-Skrull, Nova and Ronan the Accuser, and Annihilation as well as Heralds of Galactus, Nova, Drax the Destroyer: Earthfall #1-4 and big chunk of the Thanos series and maybe the sequel Annihilation Conquest? 880 pages worth A lot of spacey comics.   With the current[...]

When fighting Nova, don't call his mother a cow Simples. Don't worry new Inhuman-in-Secret-Avengers, there are worst places you could have looked. Marvel's Now What? pulls few punches when tackling the the current Marvel trend to relaunch titles, have people sitting around tables talking, and coming up with random names associated with random adjectives In one issue,[...]
New Warriors And More From This Week's Marvel AR

Nineteen Thoughts About Nineteen Comics – Judge Dredd, KISS Kids, Aphrodite IX, Thunderbolts, Wonder Woman, Nova, X-Men, X-Men Legacy, Vibe, Justice League Of America, Pandora, Indestructible Hulk, Daredevil, X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Mice Templar, Thief Of Thieves, Batman And Nightwing And BPRD
And exposes just how innately ridiculous they are to the rest of the Marvel Universe. In Wonder Woman, War is talking about Justin Bieber isn't he? And if he isn't, then Superior Octopus-Man in today's Nova really is trying to. Wow In the new X-Men we get a major continuity reference to a comic book in 1989[...]
A New New Warriors For Marvel Now Two?
From today's issue of Nova Ex-members of the New Warriors, Justice and Speedball, knocking back a burger and a beer Pepsi. Of late, there have been a few interesting goings-on at Marvel that it is tempting to join the dots Engage in some mindless speculation Take the cancellation of Avengers Arena, with the idea of it[...]

Marvel Brings Back The New Warriors… Possibly
Obviously I don't do it anymore. But Marvel seem to have been inspired by the last round… NOVA #7 ZEB WELLS (W) • PACO MEDINA (A) Cover by ED MCGUINNESS • Nova's Eventful World-Wide Adventure Rockets Roaringly Into Our Renegade Spider! • Zeb Wells ("Robot Chicken", dressing as Thor on the internet) and Paco Medina (Ultimate X-Men) continue the story of[...]
Fathers And Sons – Guardians Of The Galaxy, Nova, Action Comics And Batman Inc
It was rather moving. The same week, I read Nova #1 in which we see a teenager bullied at school (though fighting back) with a disappointment of a drunken wastrel father full of stories of being an intergalactic superhero that he just can't believe But this father doesn't die, he continues to live, and disappoint. Then today,[...]

Marvel Now To Launch New Nova Series With Ed McGuinness?
Expect new books like Guardians Of The Galaxy, relaunches of X-Men, possibly as a new bi-weekly comic, and a new comic for Nova. And I'm told that Ed McGuinness will be drawing that series. It would be natural to expect Brian Bendis to be writing that book… although is there a possibility that his Hulk partner writer[...]
