Oh, so back to the Nova review. It was a solid issue and it left me wanting to read the next one. That’s what a good comic should do. I’m giving it a B-. It was really good, but not awesome. Also, I don’t read superhero books to see people in street clothes stand around talking. Was Brian Bendis’ name listed as writer? No, it wasn’t. Let’s see some tights and fightin’ next issue, huh? Still, it was a good book. Read Full Review

This issue was OK, but it kind of left me wanting something more. Something seemed just a bit off here... Maybe it was the "War of Kings" tie-in stuff, but I just didn't enjoy this issue as much as I usually enjoy this series. Oh well, there's always next month. Read Full Review

As disappointed as I was with how this 'crossover' turned out, Nova does become Quasar here, which is a pretty big plotpoint moving forward, so I'm giving it a Check It for that. Otherwise, it felt more like filler and, while not outright bad at any point, never felt like it justified the price of admission either. Read Full Review

Once again, a ton happens in Nova 23. As the Kree/Shi’ar war begins, Worldmind, Ego, and the Nova Corps depart from Earth to go stop the war. Project: PEGASUS is shut down by Norman Osborn’s HAMMER. Luckily, Dr Necker was able to smuggle Quasar out before Hammer arrived. We learn about Dr Necker this issue, as it’s revealed she’s an agent of AIM while trying to save Richard’s life. Richard feels understandably betrayed and refuses Dr Necker’s help, as they share a kiss. Dr Necker gives Richard Quasar’s vale. Not wanting it to get in the wrong hands after he dies, Richard destroys the vale and frees Quasar. Realizing Richard is dying, Quasar gives Richard his quantum bands, which saves his life and transforms him into the all-n ew, all-different, Quasar. Overall a fantastic issue with excellent art more
