I’ve never been a fan of the human rocket, but with each issue of Marvel Comics‘ Nova that I read I’m more and more hooked. They’ve managed to make him a galaxy spanning hero without making him too powerful. And the book is a lot of fun. This issue has him facing a terror that has a parasitic relationship with the world devourer Galactus. The creature has escaped both Galactus and the Silver Surfer’s notice so it does a good job of showing that the universe needs heroes with hearts mightier than their power set as either of those guys easily outclass Nova power wise. But the character is becoming a class unto himself.
