Im finding a lot of comics these days above my cost threshold that weren't that way even 5 years ago. The sudden insurgence of Marvel and DC movies I think has effected comic prices that might soon, if not now, rival the 90's comics speculation. There's too much guessing at what might become a demand due to speculators and uninformed buyers. I realize this is/can a/be a good thing for the overall exposure of classic comics. But it's frustrating in such a short time comics went from dollar bin fodder to unaffordable for some buyers. Was Nova any good, story wise? I only have read #13 because it tied in with ASM #171 and I had to have the complete tale  Personally, I really liked it as a kid, and it remains one of my favourite Bronze Age titles. I particularly loved the early issues with characters like the Condor, Powerhouse and Diamondhead. |

As I understand, Nova was modeled after Peter Parker. Different power but similar idea. For me, you have to have decent villains. Spidey's are amazing, the best around in my books. Nova's don't like all that great...to generic and alieny. Plus, some of the later issues in that original series were done by Infantino and I know it is terrible to say but he is not an artist I like. Don't agree with that at all. I think some of Nova's rogues gallery had tremendous potential, it's just that characters like Condor and Powerhouse have generally been overlooked by most writers since. |
