Annihilation: Nova #1-4 (Annihilation Week)

Cover to issue #1.

After the destruction of the Nova Corps, it's up to Nova to carry the torch- literally! As the last living Nova, it's Richard Rider's duty to absorb the Worldmind, the source of a Nova Corpsman's power and intelligence gathering. But there's a catch, the last Nova to fully absorb the Worldmind went crazy and destroyed worlds, allies, and innocents.

   Enter Drax the Destroyer, who along with Cami survives the first onslaught of the Annihilation wave. Drax has had years of experience learning to temper himself. If he didn't he'd go on a berserker rampage that would make Wolverine jealous. When the combined trio of Drax, Cami, and Richard Rider meet with a squadron of refugees stranded in the way of the wave of destruction of Annhilus, the escape plan will  be the last Nova's greatest test to see if Drax's training was successful or not.

    Another great chapter in the Annihilation crossover event. The art is much better than in the Prologue. The storyline is just as fresh and exciting and the duo of Drax and Cami are just the perfect comic relief for this book. With billions dying on almost every page, they really lighten the mood considerably. Be on the look out for the scene where Nova and Drax both have private conversations with the Worldmind. It's both informative and very, very funny.

    Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
