Nova #3

Nova — The Human Rocket blasts forward in full cosmic fury on this July 1999 issue, with the blue-and-gold-suited Richard Rider charging straight at the viewer through a storm of fire and debris. The Red Skull looms menacingly in the foreground, fist raised amid the chaos, while the cover's bold tagline promises "Robot Rampage!" — teasing a threat on a massive scale. With cover pencils by Erik Larsen and inks by Danny Miki, it's a kinetic, hard-hitting image that makes a strong case for picking up this series.
