In the wake of the Annihilation Wave, a desperate galaxy cries out for law and order. In the past, an army of peacekeeping Centurions delivered stability. But the Nova Corps are dead and gone - now there is only Richard Rider, the man called Nova.
My only real concern is that exploring Novas reaction to events in the Marvel Universe may not provide enough substance to carry an ongoing series (and Im certainly less than enthused by the suggestion that well be mired in Iron Man/Registration Act nonsense next issue). That said, this is a good start, and if Abnett and Lanning have some good plot ideas in mind for the future, theres no reason why this title cant be a success. Read Full Review
Nova #1 was a great start to this new series. Abnett and Lanning did a nice job with providing a quality story and Chen compliments it with some nice artwork. Nova #1 should appeal to readers who like action as well as readers who enjoy a little bit more substance to their comic books. I would definitely recommend that readers give Nova a try.

I dont really know how to endorse this series based on the first issue, as the next few will take place on Earth and the following four will crossover with the next Annihilation event, though I suppose most people buying this issue will be fans of Annihilation. Its one issue of Rich Rider in space doing not-particularly-original-but-perfectly-competent space hero things. Just be prepared for some blazing nipple action. Read Full Review
This is an enjoyable issue but lacks a certain je ne sais quoi to make it a great one. The title character shows promise, and it will be interesting to see what direction Abnett and Lanning take him in. Right now I find myself eagerly awaiting the next instalment to hopefully see Nova give Iron Man a much deserved smack-down. Read Full Review
I was hoping Nova would be a good comic book for space-spanning, swashbuckling adventures. I had also hoped Nova would be free from the shenanigans of Marvels Big Stupid Event. I guess I should have known better. Read Full Review
However, Im sure there are people who will thoroughly enjoy this tale of clunky exposition, corny dialog, and mindless fight scenes. After all, I understand professional wrestling is one of the SciFi Channels most-watched shows. All I can say is, de gustibus non est disputant. Read Full Review
As a person that hasn't read Anihilation, i found it a great start for a solo book. The dialogue sold how his duty was overwhelming very well.
Nova 1 is a great start to this series and Abnett does a tremendous job of making this an Annihilation aftermath comic as well as a step in a new direction.
