Ayala and Roe use Nebula's murky character history to do something uniquely new, using the character to represent the people that feel rejected by the world. Read Full Review

No ambition comes without a cost! Through this debut issue for Nebula, this creative team showed us exactly what they meant by Nebula's goal ending up costing her more than she's willing to pay. This is the same Nebula we've all come to admire. She's a badass, she's as dangerous as ever, and she will resort to any tactic that will get her what she wants. Don't let the new look fool you!

Nebula #1 has a bold and fun plot, while providing brilliant artwork showcasing the more sci-fi elements of the series itself. Read Full Review

The final panel employs such a tired storytelling trope it lets down the clever and imaginative story up until that point. Looking past that, if Vita Ayala’s writing continues these otherwise high standards, with Claire Roe and Mike Spicer on art duties, fans of Marvels Cosmic comics are in for a treat. I’m enjoying how Marvel are putting the spotlight on some of their lesser cosmic characters at the moment and I hope the trend continues. We're getting a return to the heights of Dan Abnett and Andy Lannings cosmic run and I hope this trend continues. Read Full Review

Nebula #1 goes in an unexpected direction and one that opens things up in numerous ways. The open road is not just for plot but also for the character. There's something about this debut, it has a lot of potential and it's definitely one to keep an eye on as far as a series. Read Full Review

I havent seen Roes art since her run on Batgirl and the Birds of Prey, but from what I remember of it, she has a knack for expressiveness and action, both of which are represented here. Shes also upgraded her game quite a bit since then, with interesting panel layouts and detailed linework that gives her visuals a propulsive energy youd expect from the character. Mike Spicers colors are a nice match, opting for a multicolored, almost Lisa Frank-esque palette that doesnt seem like it should work, but does (speaking of the Lisa Frank connection, Jen Bartel will be doing covers for this series, and her work especially calls to mind that whole aesthetic with a modern sensibility).

Nebula can see the future...you'll be back for the next issue. Read Full Review

Overall, it's a book with a lot of potential, and that clearly has a story it plans on telling. It'll just take a month to see what that story is. Read Full Review

Nebula #1 isn't necessarily the upgrade that the credits page promises, but it does look like a promising first step. Read Full Review

Vita Ayala and Claire Roe team up for a new Nebula series, but the first issue feels more like a prologue than a true first chapter. Read Full Review

I am not the target audience for this book, but I'm struggling to think of who is. It doesn't matter much as Vita Ayala didn't give much reason to continue past this opener dominated by an overlong fight scene and a cliched cliffhanger. This is a pass for me. Read Full Review

Prelude:
Well, another Guardians of the Galaxy mini series, but hey Nebula needs some expanding anyway especially with her MCU hype.

The Good:
All-Seer tech is pretty cool.

I like Nebula here.

Amnesia is a cool way to test Nebula and give her some character development.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
While there isn't anything inherently bad, it's a good enough issue. The key part is what happens in the next issue to gauge how the series will go.

I enjoyed the art and the story is a bit cliche but interesting so far.

Nebula fights her way through a space station to get a super-science probability prediction widget jammed into her head. She's unrepentantly nasty throughout, and her characterization is probably the strongest part of the book. Words and art both have a lively, improvisational feel. The visuals do a much better job with this than the language, though. It's consistently pleasant to look at; the same can't be said of reading the words.

This wasn't bad, but I hate that we're getting an amnesia plot. The issue up to that point was entertaining enough. That's a shame.

I was like vaguely interested and then the ending happened and now I am not interested.
