“Les larmes du dieu aveugle”

"Les larmes du dieu aveugle" marks a pivotal moment in the Nova series, with writer Denny O'Neil and artist Luke McDonnell delivering a tense, character-driven story that deepens the rift between Jo and Rhodey. The issue's emotional core lies in the aftermath of a battle where Iron Man and the Scarlet Witch confront the Termite, only for Rhodey's fury to erupt when Tony uses Forge's mutant neutralizer—leading to a dramatic act of defiance. The cover by Jean Frisano captures the moment with striking intensity, a 9,00 FRF comic from 1986 that stands out for its grounded drama and layered relationships.
