American Update: Nova, the Human Rocket
*Marvel: In 1976, the House Of Ideas came up with Nova, designed originally to be an ‘everyman’ character like Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but quickly developing into a cosmic ‘soldier’ more akin to DC’s Green Lantern. Although the original run lasted a mere 25 issues (and we have most of them fresh into stock), Nova has returned many times to the Marvel Universe, particularly being involved in the more cosmic sagas of same.
