nova is back

Nova # 1 (annihilation miniseries) O.k. so if you read Nova comics in the 70's or like me out of quarter bins in the 80's and then followed him to the the New Warriors, you know the man can be both a great hero or a pretty hokey lousy one. All depending on one thing. The writer. The costume can't fail. It's simple looks great and really plays well in space. But along Nova's long journey as a Marvel B-hero he's done alot of awesome stuff, and a lot of really hokey drug induced badly dialogued stuff. Annihilation may very well redeem this characther to the point that he will move back into the Marvel universe where the rest of his Warriors teamates will soon bite the dust. A truly enjoyable space read by Abnett and Lanning.. A plus. and bonus props to Andy Schmidt. What a wonderful coloring job. Loved the snow.

New Avengers 18. Eh. I can't get past Deodato's artwork. I'm sorry. I liked his run on Hulk but it doesn't work for this book. At times it's distracting and it just doesn't fit with Bendis's dialogue. If he is the regular artist on this book after Civil War, I may very well stop buying it. It's just so... CrossGen. and for those of you who don't know, that's a bad thing.

Now reading. Going to start Clay's Ark by Octavia Butler tonight. Now playing Star Fox 64.(for the 100th time i think). What fun it is to be me.
