The Man Called Nova #2

Leave it to writer Marv Wolfman to write a story that introduces two new characters that reads like a story in progress.

When I first picked up a copy of The Man Called Nova #2 from Marvel Comics I thought I had come partway into an already established story. Not so, Marv Wolfman and John Buscema crafted a story that starts already in progress.

John Buscema provides the pencils for the second adventure of Nova--a young man who is given immense power.

You may have heard of the Nova Corp. seen in the Guardians Of The Galaxy movies.

The Man Called Nova is part of that Corp.--sort of Marvel’s version of DC Comics’ Green Lantern Corp.

In this issue two new adversaries are introduced: the maniacal power hungry Condor and his reluctant strong-arm Powerhouse.

It’s pretty typical superhero-super villain fare but it’s still a fun read-especially with Buscema’s art.  

Like many Bronze Age comic books this is a low-key issue being that it introduced two new characters.

With Nova speculated to show up in the next Guardians movie and possibly in other Marvel films early issues, The Man Called Nova are sure to escalate in price.

Grab these early issues while you can before they become too expensive.
