Sam Alexander may be the Marvel’s newest hero but he’s the target of the biggest icon of evil in the cosmos! The youngest member of the Nova Corps will encounter Thanos in this week’s Infinity tie-in issue.
The Mad Titan has invaded Earth…while the Avengers are across the galaxy!
Writer Zeb Wells and artist Paco Medina are setting Sam on a collision course with the big bad:
“Thanos is not so subtly trying to destroy the Earth,” Wells tells Marvel, “Sam, as one of the few cosmic heroes still planet-side, figures he needs to step up to the plate.
“He reacts to Thanos the same way he reacts to all would-be conquerors: with derision and ridicule. Unfortunately Thanos isn’t going to take to that as well as some of the foes he’s met in the past.”
Wells said he will introduce new characters and some from the Richard Rider (the original Nova) era and that The Watcher is keeping an eye on Sam’s actions in the Marvel Universe.
This could be a book to watch now that we know the Nova Corps will appear in Guardians of the Galaxy movie and all the Marvel films will have the specter of Thanos in them. Sam’s popularity in comics could mean his inclusion in an Avengers or Guardians sequel.
