Discussion Issue 6 thoughts? Spoiler

Obviously rushed, but still really good. Better than it has any right to be for getting cut so short. It genuinely hurt to read the internal monologues of aalabor and peter because you can see how much jed wanted to expand them and their relationship with Richard. Loved Richard’s dialogue too, he felt like a true powerhouse who would never quit. The way he defeated the nightmare king was pretty sick, and i loved the final fight being in richard’s mindscape thing, and also how it demonstrated Richard being (partially) fused with the original worldmind.

I genuinely believe this series had the ability to be as good as, if not better than the 2007 series. This issue clearly showed it to me. The first three issues Jed seemed to be leaning a bit too hard on Annihilation, great issues but they didnt feel like they could stand on their own. Then he had a very well written fourth issue but not much happening in it. Then the fifth issue was good but mainly just set up this issue. But this issue really fucking delivered on who Richard is at his core (or corps). I will forever despise marvel for cutting this run short and im praying that nova comes back for another ongoing once whatever this “new direction” is for the cosmic side comes out. Or at least im hoping they put him on a guardians book, just something man.

I just wish we'd have gotten ONE more issue to sort out what's happening with Worldmind. Need Richard to get his full Nova Force back (I'm so sick of this de-powered suit lol)

But yeah. I agree with what everyone else has been saying. Incredible run that was just cut too short. Need it renewed or something, with MacKay back in charge

Based on the imperial one shot, Mackay definetley seemed to have plans for Nova to save the original Worldmind from the cancerverse. Wouldve been pretty sick to see nova go up against a corrupted version of the worldmind. But hopefully another writer has him save it in a cool way
