Nova #9

Nova — Richard Rider — hurtles toward the reader fists-first against a sweeping nebula backdrop on Adi Granov's striking painted cover, his gold-and-black Nova Corps helmet gleaming with cool blue light. Writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and artist Wellinton Alves continue "Knowhere, Part Two," keeping this 2008 series firmly planted in the cosmic corner of the Marvel universe. Ain't It Cool News called it the best Marvel ongoing of the year, and covers like this make it easy to see why.
