NOVA #5: http://www.popcultureshock.com/2006/42235/ Didn't care for #1 but really liked issues 2 and 3. #4 and now #5 was more heavy on the sci-fi as #1 but seemed to read a little more easily and I was now prepared for the genre of storytelling. And the great artwork made the effort to escape into this type of story enjoyable. That first shot of Gamora is hauntingly beautiful. If it wasn't for those eyes... His Nova-Prime Worldmind still seems a little too deus-ex-machina/main-protagonist every single scene compared to say Epoch's more standback approach to counselling Quasar or the more fondly remembered cold comedic dialogues between Manning and 'Puter. Ko-Rel could assume the Nova role permanently and the title probably may hardly skip a beat. Of course, typing that hardly relays the horror of the cliffhanger here. Wonder how (wow) translight speed compares to say Sentry, Photon(Rambeau) and Northstar... Wonder if Ko's enchanting physique will stand next to any Marvel Earth beauties soon for comparison (that IS a D'ast tight suit)... Wonder if it's solely stylistic similarity with hunters (predator) hairdos looking very similar to the background alien thugs in WWH... Wonder if theyre invoking Great Galador (what the HECK) for completely unrelated context to the greatest of all Spaceknights located in a completed different galaxy... Wonder if Richard's regeneration is just a device instituted to give him staying power equal to the power up of other Marvel noteables like Wolverine's improved immortality... Wonder who came first, the Borg or the Phalanx... Wonder why I haven't got around to reading the 1st Annihilation mini, obviously something happened 'tween Rich & Gam which is evident in the script of their meeting. A forboding cliffhanger that consists of a loving embrace is soooo cool. Gamora is so gorgeous in that splash. If it wasn't for those eyes... --Previous Message-- : What did everyone think? : : I thought the parts where Rich was healing : was pretty cool. : : Nova 0001 is a great addition to the Nova : cast! : : Doug :
