Annihilation: Nova #1

Part one of a four-issue limited series, Annihilation: Nova arrives in 2006 with writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning steering Marvel's cosmic landscape toward something genuinely thrilling. Gabriele Dell'Otto's painted cover blazes with fiery orange energy as Richard Rider — Nova, the Human Rocket — stands wreathed in crackling light, his golden Nova Corps armor glowing with power at the chest and shoulders. It's a striking opening image for "All for One," promising high-stakes cosmic adventure from artist Kev Walker and inker Rick Magyar within.
