REVIEW: Nova #1

Or – “So You Like Nova?  Let’s See If Marvel NOW! Can Fix That!”

There has been a lot of buzz about the new Nova, and a high-profile appearance (though a small one) in Avengers Vs. X-Men to get people excited.  On the one hand, I like me some Nova.  On the other hand, Jeph Loeb has, of late, been WILDLY, even maddeningly inconsistent as a creator.  Can this new Human Rocket fly as high as the old one?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

SDCC’11: Cable Reborn

If you were still trying to figure out Marvel’s cryptic teaser image, you don’t have to burn anymore brain cells as it’s been announced that Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness are bringing Cable back in Cable Reborn.

You’re going to have to wait a little longer than the above paragraph lets on, as Cable Reborn is expected to arrive in December 2012.
