The next big Nova arc blasts off here! In the first four sold-out issues, we've seen Richard Rider burnt to a crisp, replaced by a hot Kree soldier and turned to the dark side. But just wait until you see where writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning – and special guest-penciler Wellinton Alves (Nightwing) -- rocket Nova now as a special spooky two-parter begins! If you missed his first or second story arcs, but heard how good they were, don't miss your third chance to jump on the book that IGN.com calls a "Must Read!"
