Nova is great. Read Nova.



What run is this from? I picked up "Human Rocket," and was kind of disappointed, but this looks way more up my alley.

The current one that just launched yesterday.
I can't find the quote at the moment, but apparently the writers mentioned taking some inspirations from Nextwave.

Thanks!
I'll have to put it on my pulls list. I'm definitely digging the art style of this new one over the art in "Human Rocket".

Given that the very first thing she geeks out about in the room is a Wookiee with a railgun for a head I'm thinking it's definitely the latter.

I hate that I know that that's a reference to a really stupid Boba Fett EU book where he works with a big lizard dude who has had his head replaced with a rail gun. It's nowhere near as cool as it sounds.

You're monologuing about using humor to deflect the reality of the violence you inflict, while quoting a classic Looney Toons skit without context or comedic timing, Spidey. :spidey:

Yeah, this is not Spidey's tight five. I always liked the one where his internal monologue is about how he uses humor to distract himself from how scared he is.

Maxwell Lord gets to come back but Ted Kord has to stay dead because of 'cosmic balance?" Ugh.

Ted Kord is alive. He's not an active superhero but he's alive, so at least there's that.

I needed to find this out today more than I am comfortable admitting

Yeah, Chip has really been flourishing lately. He still goes for comedy sometimes, but he's handled emotional drama well and he's done good work in indie horror as well.

His run on Jughead is also just fantastic. I wish the Archie reboots had stuck with weird goofy comedy instead of going down the Riverdale high drama teens route.

Right, it was really good as weird goofy comedy when the reboots started, but what they've been releasing lately (save for stuff like Jughead the Hunger, which rules) has been very directly inspired by Riverdale. Also, the mainline archie reboot had a sharp left turn into, like, people getting in car accidents and the like.

I do love Liefeld's lovely, impossible guns. There's something really charming about how stupid and blocky they are

just great expressive artwork

It's weird seeing the artist for Giant Days on DC characters, but good for them!

Elf with a Gun represents the senseless violence of the universe. There is no explanation on purpose, any attempt to explain it inherently destroys the concept.

He's wearing spats, hence no visible laces. The shoes are black because he's not a clown.

Sounds like someone bought into Beau Brummel's line of marketing
