Imperial War: Nova - Centurion #1

This is exactly the book I've been waiting for! I am a huge fan of Nova and the Nova Corps, and this issue scratched that itch in the best possible way. The history and interactions, the emotion and turmoil, they were all accented by fantastic artwork and an exciting ending that set up where the story will go from here. I am loving this event and I can't wait to see what happens next. This was a wonderful return for one of my favorite Marvel characters. Marvel, please, I'm begging you. Please give us an ongoing Nova book! This issue proves that there is so much story and so many places this character can go. Read Full Review

Really good issue for an underutilized character these days. I really appreciated the ties to the history of Nova and how it was handled showing the Worldmind's dilemma calculating the answer. Really enjoyable issue overall.
