A preview of Nova: Centurion #3

NOVA: CENTURION #3

NOVA ON THE VERGE! An old grudge from the Annihilation War comes due as NOVA and RAVENOUS throw down with credits — to say nothing of life and death — in the balance! Will Rich Rider survive to see a positive number in his bank account?! All is not as it seems, though, and crew member CAMMI will make a discovery that changes everything!

Let’s get this out of the way now.

Yes, I’m a Nova Centurion - Richard Rider, Corpsman 11249-44396 - and I killed Annihilus. Yes, it’s true; I did rip his insides out of his throat. No, I don’t want to talk about it.

I was a teen superhero and I used to be on the New Warriors. I used to go by Kid Nova back then, but they called me “the Human Rocket” (okay, that was me. They called me “buckethead”). No, I wasn’t part of… that. I was also on the Guardians of the Galaxy for a bit. Don’t know them? For the best. Nowadays, I’m the last of the Nova Centurions, and one of only three survivors of the Xandarian omnicide, and I’m trying to rebuild my life with an ultra advanced alien AI computer inside my head. Say hello, Worldmind.

…

Yeah, he can only be heard by myself and telepaths. I’m not crazy or talking to myself. I swear. Cosmo the talking Soviet space dog will back me up.

I told you, I’m not crazy!

Also, yes, I was dead for a bit - you’re not imagining it. I got better.

If you need job done well, I’m your cosmic hero!

Please pay me, I really need the credits.

Just before the first Hellfire Gala, Xavier asked Nightcrawler to go look into his son, David (son of Gabrielle Haller.) Kurt did so and they became good buds, supporting each other and helping others by the time of Inferno. David was as happy as he'd ever been and really living his best life. Well, except for one thing...

He hasn't actually spoken to him at this point so Chuck is full of it.

This guy Richard Rider has ties with The Guardians, The New Warriors, he's a Marvel Legend.

Yo, if you read comics/or don't. Get on #NOVA (Rider)

Don't wait until the MCU makes him trendy/digestible for normies and casuals.

All you need is V3 which is only #7 issues, and go straight to V4

If you got time like that? Go ahead and sample the vintage first 3 issues from V1

Ya'll don't understand how much i wanted to see Rider in GOTG VOL.3 with the Ravagers, and fight Adam

You have no idea. Nothing in Heaven, Space, or Earth could stop Richard from getting to Gamora if she was in a serious jam.

This guy Richard Rider has ties with The Guardians, The New Warriors, Sphinx, Annhilus' Nemesis, Cosmic shit, he's a Marvel Legend.

"Blue Blazes!"

Look at the difference, one he's confused. The other, he flies with purpose. Oozing with power.

Dude's origin is basically Green Lantern x Spider-Man

From a newb fucking up a simple bank robber detainment, to physically disputing a Mechanical god.

The guy's arc is one of the most underrated in MARVEL.

He started off a rookie, became a hero, made sacrifices, fought a war (multiple), lost a lot in those wars.

He packs a punch, a good kid. Good cast of side characters (Ginger must be protected at all costs).

THEN V4 happened.. he commands so much presence as the Apex NOVA. He goes from Planet to Planet just fixing problems. He shows up, kicks ass, and fucking leaves.

And because he's a seasoned NOVA now, he doesn't have that rookie energy.

He's not nervous, or clumsy, he now talks like a guy who's been around the block. And he knows exactly what he can do power level wise.

He's that guy.

It's amazing that this is the same guy/ confused kid in that hospital bed, not knowing what hell was in store for him.

I usually voted for Sentry, but ENDGAME shoulda had this dude instead of Danvers. PERIOD.
