Well-done for those who like the 1970s cosmic Marvel style, July 22 2010
By Kurt Conner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Nova - Volume 6: Realm of Kings (Paperback)
After many stories in which Abnett and Lanning updated the corny 1970s cosmic Marvel characters for a new generation (Nova, Vol. 1: Annihilation - Conquest, Nova Vol. 5: War of Kings, etc.), it's understandable that the pair decided to take a bit of a break and write some corny 1970s cosmic Marvel stories of their own. This volume is not to my general liking, but there should be a lot of nostalgia for readers who like characters with names like Starstalker who impress all of the other characters with their cutting edge nanotechnology, or high-level villains like the Sphinx who have huge plans and lots of Silver Age announcements of their intentions. These stories do have a lot of heart - Nova enlists a wise drill sergeant so his newest team members will be equipped for their jobs, then he strengthens his longtime friendship with Darkhawk, then he has an emotional reunion with a version of Namorita who has been plucked out of the timestream from some point before her tragic death (and the reunion includes the best use of the "Blue blazes!" catchphrase ever). Readers will like this collection if they like old cosmic stories or epic tales with noble heroes fighting obviously nasty baddies. I prefer the cosmic Marvel of the last few years, though, with gritty war drama and political intrigue and complex character motivations, and this volume is a step in a direction where I would prefer that the story not go. A well-executed step for what it is, but a step nonetheless.
