Nova #22

This 2009 entry in Marvel's Nova series sports a striking cover by Juan Doe that channels the bold geometry of vintage propaganda posters — Nova himself surges upward in a burst of red lightning and radiant energy, his chest insignia blazing with golden light against a deep crimson field. The rallying call at the bottom — "Protect Space! Be a Star! Join the Corps!" — captures the Nova Corps' grand cosmic mission with infectious confidence. Inside, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning continue their acclaimed run on the Human Rocket, with art by Andrea DiVito and colors by Bruno Hang bringing the story "The Rapture" to life.
