My biggest highlight of being a Nova fan came in Nova #7 back in 2007. The issue’s artist, Brian Denham, was a fan of my Nova Prime Page website and wanted to include me as a Nova in the story So I sent him a photo of myself and Brian designed a cool Nova uniform Here’s the panel I was in: ...

It’s been just over a week and a half since Episode 1 of Xandar Radio was released.The feedback I’ve gotten has been really positive so far Especially the interview with Fabian Nicieza. I will be totally honest - the man caught me off guard with the revelations of his plans for Nova had he chosen...

My podcasting equipment arrived yesterday Have started recording segments for Xandar Radio in the new Studio64. Lol

Just a drive-by update on things. I’ve been adding digital cards to the Products Cards section of the Nova Prime Page. I got onto the Topps Marvel Collect app to just get Nova cards and capture images of them for the site. However...I’m freaking hooked on the app. Been having a lot of fun with...

The new series will be called Xandar Radio The podcast format will be more of a news style program with news, interviews, fun segments,...

Anyone who has followed the Nova Prime Page site over the past 21 years knows that I tend to go in spurts. There will be a flurry of activity for awhile and then a lull for a bit. It’s not by design but, as with most people and their hobbies, it’s just the natural flow of an interest.With the...

Annihilation Scourge is the latest in the Annihilation Saga which began with the original Annihilation in 2006. This was followed up be a series of events (Annihilation Conquest, War of Kings, Thanos Imperative along with Nova’s 2007 and 2016 series) with the consequences of one leading into the...

Marvels: Epilogue #1 This was a fun issue and is a sequel to the classic Marvels series by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. Busiek and Ross were the creative team on the epilogue issue as well.Rich Rider Nova only appears on two pages in the issue but they are wonderful From a continuity point, this...

Jim Zub, writer of the Champions title which features Sam Alexander Nova, announced on his blog today that Champions has been cancelled as of #10. The last issue will be out in October.It’s always sad to read about another title with Nova in it coming to an end. Hopefully, we will see more of Sam...

As Nova appearances begin to slow as of late, I thought I’d share my thoughts on them.Rich Rider’s appearance in the Black Order mini-series was handled well. Derek Landy’s characterization seemed consistent with his past appearances and his power level was enough to take care of the Black Order...

That issue covered the period from The Man Called Nova to Rom #24.The new article will cover the time period from Thor #411 to the...

Nova #4 - 3.5 (of 5) Gravimetric Pulses â Things slow down a bit from an action perspective this issue. In this case, the issue’s character development was worth the trade off.Both heroes deal with issues of the opposite sex and the way they handle them is a study in contrasting...

Nova #3 - 4 (of 5) Gravimetric Pulses â You know, after 45 years of reading comics, I don’t get caught off-guard very often. But Nova #3 gave me a HOLY ---- moment. More on that later.The fight in the bar had a Spaghetti Western feel to me. I know that sounds odd but, to me, all that...

Nova #2 - 4.5 (of 5) Gravimetric Pulses â Blue Blazes That was a great issue I enjoyed it more than the first The interaction between Rich and Sam is the real highlight of the issue. The two have a terrific big brother little brother interaction that captures the personalities of both...

Disclaimer: This is my first attempt at reviewing a comic. I honestly don’t think my opinion matters much but I have had people ask me what I think of a Nova issue when it comes out. So I guess I’ll give it a shot. Oh, and just to be fair - spoilers are ahead...Nova #1 - 4 (of 5) Gravimetric Pulses...
