Nova is a series that seems to want to focus on the action more so then the dialog which I think is fine. Nova has the problem of having the same theme as Mrs. Marvel and Spider-man with the balance of life as an Avenger, family, and daily relationships becoming stress on a young hero. Since this is being done in so many places (Spider-Gwen also having this theme with being an outlaw thrown in) there needs to be something different about the title. I think its ties to action and that 90s feel is what tries to set t apart. There is an old school feel to this book that I find interesting. Cory Smith's art seems to capture that feel as well. If it was released on newsprint pages I would see it fitting right in. This is a great addition to the series. more
