Teenage hero Nova has already rocketed from one end of the galaxy to the other in his brief time in the Marvel U, but starting with July's "Nova" #6 he'll find a brand new creative team in Zeb Wells and Paco Medina. As part of the "Next Big Thing" call.
"This is a story that's been in the works for quite some time. Steve, Ed and I have been in the trenches of knowing where it was going...and as we kept trying to tell folks 'This is not a reboot. This is not a reinvention. This is another story' what's been so wonderful about Nova is that you can follow the exploits of different Novas," Loeb said.
Loeb continues on to speak about his first story arc, "The first two issues was to set up how Sam came to get the helmet and to slowly start to learn what its powers are, but we've said from the very beginning that part of the fun of this story is sort of 'What would you do if you found Tony Stark's armor, and you had no way to [become] Tony Stark?'" he said. "I think some folks have seen the preview pages to the first pages of issue #3 where the Watcher shows Sam something 'Really, really bad.' And that will be our first adventure." The writer promised that the full origin of Sam Alexander in the Nova guise will be told by the end of his arc, and that it's end will lead back to the character's appearance in Marvel's "Point One" prelude to "Avengers Vs. X-Men."
Wells came into the conversation saying he'd been following the book as a fan for months as Wacker had sent him art and notes for the series as it came together. He said the thing he was most excited for was to write a hero who was experiencing the Marvel Universe and that he was going to pick the story up after AvX.
