    Default Nova #11 Spoilers

    Okay, I just read the last two issues of Nova (#10 and 11). Richard Rider has been trapped inside the Worldmind, inside the pocket universe. Richard mentions he sacrificed himself to that condition to keep Thanos from escaping. I really liked that these two issues showed Richard's memories, including Richard destroying Annihilus, Richard and Starlord fighting Thanos, Queen Adora, Xandar, and images from Richard's older series. It was nice to see these things were not forgotten.

    It appears the Worldmind is keeping Richard trapped, because it is usurping control. The only reason Richard came out is because when Sam mentioned Sam's mother, Richard thought of his own mother. So Richard forced himself to the forefront and the Worldmind image changed from something more robotic to more human.

    Richard mentioned he was trapped forever but said he would do it all over again. But then, you see him go home.

    Look, I liked it. And I am hopeful.

    I took the pocket dimension comment to be referring to the Cancerverse.

    I think it's an interesting expansion on what Abnett did in the beginning in that once Richard was the only one using the Worldmind and now he's actually gone a step further and become one with Worldmind, which seems like it could have some interesting conflict for Rich given that he might not be 100% in control.

    I always liked that Richard was "not being in control" aspect of when Richard had the whole Worldmind. The way Worldmind kept at Richard the whole time. If you're right, Worldmind will inflict its agenda on Richard like it did before. Looking forward to seeing where this will go.

    Totally! Rider is going to save us from Civil War II, reform Hydra Cap, and #givebackthshield. He is going to make Marvel great again!

    Too me, this seemed right on track with how the Worldmind was always trying to protect itself (and the Xandarian culture) no matter what the cost, in Nova, volume 4 (the final Rider series). The Worldmind, in my opinion, loves Richard too. By taking control and supplanting Richard, he kept Rich from getting himself and destroying Xandar's history. This made sense to me.

    Now All (maybe not all, but some anyway ) of Nova fandom can rejoice. Soon Nova (Sam) and the BIG guy himself NOVA PRIME (Rich) will set things right in the Marvel Cosmic Universe!!!

    Just before that last page we had this to read:
    " ... I can't quite tell you what's going to happen just yet, but suffice it to say that the final page of the comic book you hold in your hand, RIGHT AT THIS EXACT MINUTE, is itself a clue to the future of the Marvel Universe and Sam's place in it.
    And if you want to see how it all starts, all you have to do is turn the page..."
    then I turned that page!!!

    Though am a REALLY BIG SAM Fan am VERY HAPPY to see NOVA PRIME back!!!

    I quite liked it. Especially the moment where spoilers:
    Rich telling sam that being a superhero is hard but not miserable. And then he goes to tell his friends.
    end of spoilers

    It brought a smile to my face and restored my fate in the series. Though I did wish the Dad plot was put to rest before the end.

    Well i found this current run depressing and that was all due to Sean Ryan's writing however i'm looking forward to Jeff Loveless. I loved LOVED his Inhuman Error special -- the guy knew how to write a funny and entertaining Spider-Man.

    Beautiful cover, beautiful story, and now we've got Richard Rider back again, in that epilogue on the last page. This is the best story of Sam Alexander I've read, because it tells us what the helmets are, and the Worldmind dredged up Richard Rider from wherever he is and landed him back on Earth. It also looks like Sam was called back for the fight in CWII #5 at the end there. I liked that Richard gave Sam a tracker for his mum to know where he was, and, that Richard said he didn't have to lie to his friends anymore about being Nova. Very empowering things for a teenaged kid. This was one of the most satisfying reads from Marvel on the subject of the Nova. Now we have all the Nova mystery revealed, and set in motion the return of Richard Rider. Long time coming, so let's celebrate AT LAST, HE'S BACK!!!!!!

    I agree. I am happier about Nova, going forward, than I have been in a long while.
