Nova

Marvel’s 1999 Nova series, running for seven issues, brings the cosmic hero back to Earth in a solo adventure. Written primarily by Erik Larsen, with art by Joe Bennett, the storyline follows Richard Rider as he balances his human life with his role as a Nova Centurion, even crossing paths with Thor Odinson. A concise but energetic run, it’s a key moment for the character before his later cosmic reinventions.
