One of the thing that interests me is that the mind of the individual--in this case Nova--who has been "turned into a villain" is still who the person is. They, in effect, have to watch themselves do things they don't want to. I am hoping, and this has already been done in the series, they will delve into the minds of the "turned," see what they are thinking, feeling, etc. What a great opportunity for character development and insight! --Previous Message-- : A few fans are concerned that Nova is now a : villain.I think one of you said he didn't : need to be in Conquest (I think Bless your : hearts. All of us Nova fans would be up in : arms is Rich did not participate in : Conquest. He had to. He is the big gun, so : he had to be a part. And although he is : "not the main hero" his issues : sure don't suggest he has a tiny part. I : mean, great stuff is occurring in his : issues. : : Even though Rich was turned, well,the story : is just excellent reading. And we know he's : not going to die, so I'm just enjoying the : ride. Nova, a cosmic character, is one of : the main participants of two major cosmic : storylines. I am happy this is different : from the Cosmic Cube, Thanos Quest, Warlock, : Avengers Galactic Storm, and Fantastic Four : stories where Rich played a tiny or no part. : These two cosmic tales, in my opinion, are : just better, more gritty, more science : fictiony (yeah, I made the word up) more : bloody, and more impactful. : : Enjoy the ride. Our Nova is still playing a : major role. Like Doug said, they cannot : repeat Annihilation. And right off, we see : they are not trying to. : : Jimmy :
