This thread will be for discussing the character Nova and his side of the Marvel Universe.

Richard Rider - Nova Corps Centurion 1124 9-4 4 396

Nova being one of my favorite Marvel characters I decided to start this thread for all of Nova related discussions and to also help myself keeping track with everything (i also did a quick search and didn't find any appreciation thread on the character).

I love the fact that Marvel has put a lot more spotlight on Nova lately and that he's currently the cosmic no. 1 hero and also being included in the current roaster of the Secret Avengers. I hope this will bring him even more popularity and love from the fans.
Big thanks are in order for DnA for what they've done with the character in the past years and their AWESOME run on Nova series ( the Nova volume 1 Hardcover is my favorite book of all time ).

So what do you guys think? Please share your thoughts, ideas,etc.

Oh my god, his name is actually Dick Rider? I did not know this.

If there's a problem with this thread or if there's another like this tell me and I'll delete it, but don't mock the character just because you don't like it. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of fans. A little respect please.

I wasn't insulting him, just pointing out an unfortunate but humorous connotation of his name, no differnet to the Dickens character Master Charlie Bates.

Sorry if it caused offence.

No hard feelings, right ?

I know, right? Someone REALLY dropped the ball when coming up with that name.

But yeah, love Nova. Annihilation rocked, and even though the past year hasnt been too good for his book, I hope he gets a return to awesomeness in the Thanos Imperative. And now hes an Avenger, which should be alot of fun.

I'm pretty sure his designations Nova Centurian Prime now, seeing as how the core is being rebuilt from him up and Ko was 0001 before she was killed and became the world mind.

**Froggy** · 06-05-2010, 01:08 PM

I've really dug his new series and wonder if i should check out the one from the 90's

um. I adore Nova. I am also tickled pink by his name. Just because his name summons up a plethora of queer connotations doesn't mean one has to subscribe to a false dichotomy that that's a bad thing.

uh, so Loeb is writign Nova? Or they are writing point 1. I love how Marvel teasers juts confuse people more than excite them.

**Seresecros** · 09-26-2011, 02:42 PM

Check the link at the bottom, it gives more details - this is a 64-page one-shot written by several writers, including Loeb. It comes out in November.
