Posted by Flank McLargehuge The power transfer to Ko-Rel took me completely off-guard! Very NOVAv1 #1, all the way down to the comparison with exploding cobalt bombs (if I remember right). I'm glad to see DnA actually *using* the various possibilities of the Nova-Force in ways that have been established but never seen while Rich has used it... but I'm glad it's only temporary. If the upcoming covers are accurate portrayals of the issues' events, then #6 will see Ko-Rel vs. the Phalanx Gamora, and #7 may see Rich back, but added to the Phalanx as one of their Select like Gamora and Ronin. And Ko-Rel will have to save him? Intriguing. I, too, hope Ko-Rel is the first of a new Nova-Corps. Editor Bill Roseman has said that Nova is more interesting when he's the only Nova left, because having a bunch of others lowers the stakes because he has back-up -- but I think one soldier among many is much more at-risk than someone who's alone but is one of the most powerful humans in the universe. I gotta say though, the Phalanx as a threat for four four-issue storylines and then another six issue miniseries is honestly not remotely as interesting to me as Annihilus was. I really wish they'd gone with the obvious villain for a Marvel series called "Conquest," and had Kang the Conquerer invade the Annihilation-weakened universe. I was really hoping I'd see Nova versus the teenage Kang that was set up in Young Avengers. To me, that would've been awesome.

I'm curious, what Kyle Raynor-esque elements are you seeing? I've never read any of his comics so I wouldn't recognize them.
