The Annihilation story was frankly, awesome, and a much needed burst of good sci-fi in the mainstream comics medium (I’ve had my problems with Green Lantern for years, so I don’t keep up with it anymore). Richard knows this has been done before, and it’s left those who tried it insane and physically ruined, but the situation is so desperate there’s no other way. Power that should be distributed to thousands now rests solely with him. Once a member of a group thousands strong, he’s all alone and forced to confront the Annihilation Wave by himself with whatever allies he can find.Įven worse, in order to save the last remnants of Xandarian knowledge and culture, he has no choice but to absorb the totality of the Xandarian Worldmind and the entire Nova Force into his own body. In their first strike, the Annihilation Wave wipes out the entire Nova Corps – all except Richard Rider. The force was led by the ruler of that universe, named Annihilus (a scary character who usually plagued the Fantastic Four), and his army was known as the Annihilation Wave. In this story, our universe faced a massive incursion from a rabid and powerful force straight out of an anti-matter universe called The Negative Zone.
Nova had been kind of a third-string character for years, and I didn’t give him much thought, until a few years ago when Marvel decided to revamp their sci-fi properties with an event called Annihilation. The concept is very similar to DC Comic’s Green Lantern Corps. The Corps is created by a benevolent and powerful civilization known as the Xandarians. Nova is Richard Rider, a member of an intergalactic peacekeeping force called the Nova Corps. Just who is this guy, anyway? And why would I spend my time creating fan art of him? Many of the following images feature the Marvel Comics character Nova -one of my favorite sci-fi heroes. I’ve been doing some 3D work lately, and I decided to share some of my latest stuff here on the site.
