Nova NOW, anyone else feeling interested?

[Phelpzy]

I didn't read the .1 but imma go into this with a open mind, if the story sucks at least I have good art to look at, hell maybe Jeph will surprise us all, I mean yea his Hulk and Ultimates 3/ ultimatum sucked, but I did enjoy Ultimate X aside from the delays

[DebkoX]

Perhaps the character could make this good in a way. Due to him being based on his late son he may be determined to honour him.

Im conflicted about this series because i want to support cosmic marvel because i was big Nova,GotG fan before their series was cancelled.

But this is post 2000 Loeb how much can i take his writing...... Plus the artist is not good fit for SF adventure like Nova. Too cartooney for my taste. You need cosmic artist type for Nova and co.

[DebkoX]

Well in all truth I kinda owe someone and that's the only reason I'm getting it, I rather GOTG anyway and this writer sounds bad.

So far he is only been in AvX. The other Nova, Richard Rider Died in the Thanos Imperative and has yet to reappear. This is written By Jeph Loeb so i wouldn't get you're hopes up too high, although i suppose it depends what you are into. I will be picking it up because the previous Nova was my favourite character and i want to see what, if anything they do with him but i doubt it will be any good.

And because this is by Loeb, it will be bad, why...? His Red Hulk was continously good fun. Mindless yes, but unabashedly so. It made no attempts to hide what it was, everybody knew that when they got the mag'.

And ever since that, Loeb has actually bounced back to form, IMHO. His Ultimate X was a stellar series, that I looked forward to every single issue. Some of the best characterization that I have read in the MU in the last 10 years.

Because as far as I am concerned, mindles is bad.

Apart from Long Halloween and Dark Victory I haven't read much from Loeb that I would consider great. Especially not where Marvel is concerned, which has ranged from ok (Hulk Code Red arc) to awful (Fallen Son).

Its also important to support Nova if you like cosmic marvel because Loeb might leave and then Nova might get cancelled just when he gets better writer.

Don't let us put you off. If you like the look of it then you should defo give it a try. The majority of people on these forums hate Loeb but no matter how bad we think his stuff is they are consistently great sellers so there are a lot of people who like him and you might be one of them.

You can always just read the book at the shop and if you like it buy the collections at a cheap price at instocktrades.com.

The other alternative is to trade digital comic codes at the trading thread with someone.

I dont like trade reading new superhero, they dont always fit trade form if its not top level stories. Im just gonna try this by buying it for my Ipad in comixology thats cheaper than going to my fav comics shop. Just try it and ifs bad just drop like all new not good enough comics.

I want my cosmic marvel reads monthly and im hoping for Loeb miracle. Rider/Nova was the reason i got in to cosmic marvel he was awesome in Annhilation,his own series.

No. I will not buy something that I just don't support on the off chance they might give it another writer. This is Marvel. They will figure if people won't buy it with a "big superstar name" like Loeb then people just don't want cosmic. So no I will not buy it.

[Shingen]

Leob didn't do death of cap!!!!!

Why are you yelling?

Pretty sure he's referring to this

Yup. I thought it was well done.

[Jack Hart]

At some point Rich will come back, they always do. I have every issue of all of Rich's time as Nova. So as a life long Nova fan, I say this. Give Sam a chance. Look at the first issue and if you dont like it, dont buy it. My dream for this book is to really hit it big so Rich comes back sooner. Rich could have his own book called The Man Called Nova. Its all about Rich in space rebuilding the Nova Corps. Sam gets to keep his book called Nova The Human Rocket and he stays on Earth fighting bad guys and joining a team of Avengers ( I think Young Avengers would make the most sense, but Iron Man would work as the person teaching him the ropes)! And with that, now all Nova fans would have what they want and Marvel makes more money! Your welcome.

Comic fans always assume the worse meaning they forget that Loeb is just as likely to write something good as he is something bad.

Quoted because this is a fair and balance statement, and because it is true.

If you're familiar with a particular creator's work and you haven't enjoyed his past or present work, don't buy it.
