Jeph Loeb launched a brand new NOVA series with a new hero soon be under the helmet. Sam Alexander is a small town teen who just learned his father’s delusions of space adventures were no illusion. This week in Nova #2 Sam gets recruited by a talking racoon and a green warrior woman!
Loeb likens Sam to another famous teen hero with great power and responsibility:
“If we’re lucky, we’re taking on the type of stuff Peter Parker did in the earliest Spider-Man stories trying to be a super hero and a normal kid.”
“That story of Sam Alexander being 16 years old and already having given up is something I think people can relate to. But in the Marvel Universe, when we’re at our worst, that’s when the hero comes forward.”
Outer space adventurers like Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy are reborn franchises and the future of Marvel.
“The relationship between Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy is very important to where we’re going. Brian Bendis and I have talked about it since the beginning. It’s on the first page of the first issue. It’s really cool to see Ed drawing the Guardians.”
“It will be a little bit of a surprise Continue reading NOVA Meets Guardians of the Galaxy

Damian Wayne is dead. Time for Bruce Wayne’s revenge. Robin is a casuality in the war between Bruce and Talia Al Ghul. Grant Morrison talked with Comic Book Resources about his final Batman Incorporated issues:
“Well, the next three issues are basically “Vengeance of Batman.” He’s been pushed too far. He underestimated Talia, and then Talia horribly underestimated him. That’s really what it’s all about. And part of this is that we didn’t want to do Jason Todd again. We didn’t want to leave Batman an emotional cripple. The Batman we’ve presented in this run has been through some pretty bizarre experiences including weird Continue reading Morrison Plots VENGEANCE OF BATMAN
