Essential Nova Volume 1 TPB: Vol. 1 (Essential (Marvel Comics))

Customer Reviews

A review called Nova - By: Mr. Andrew Fletcher, 04 May 2006
This Essential collection was inevitable. Now most of the 60's work has been published Marvel are giving us some of their more colourful 70's titles & Nova was one of the best.This volume collects alll of the original series. The "MAN" callled Nova is actuallly a teenager!. A wimpish character with typical teenage problems is changed into a superhero with incredible powers. Sounds a lot like Spiderman, but the origin is very much like Green Lantern!. Young Richard Rider is given powers from a dying champion of the Nova corps & that's where the fun begins.
The villians are typical seventies Marvel, the best being Diamondhead (with the head of a diamond !). Along the way there are the obligatory guest stars & some great storytelling. Carmine Infantino's art on the later issues are some of his best work. A great Essential title to have in your collection & a fantastic example of when Marvel comics were fun to read.
