NOVA : CENTURION #1-3 (Jed MacKay / Alvaro Lopez)

Comics VO Marvel
1

For months, Marvel Comics has teased that IMPERIAL, the four-part epic by visionary writer Jonathan Hickman and superstar artists Iban Coello and Federico Vicentini, would usher in a new era of cosmic storytelling. Just now at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, fans learned exactly what that meant with the announcement of five all-new ongoing series spinning out of IMPERIAL later this year!

In addition to first looks for upcoming IMPERIAL WAR one-shots, Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, VP & Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, and writer Stephanie Phillips revealed the first wave of ongoing series set in the new intergalactic landscape created by IMPERIAL: PLANET SHE-HULK, NOVA CENTURION, BLACK PANTHER: INTERGALACTIC, EXILES, and IMPERIAL GUARDIANS.

All five titles are set up in the IMPERIAL WAR one-shots releasing over the next few months and begin launching in November, starting with PLANET SHE-HULKby Stephanie Phillips (PHOENIX) and Aaron Kuder (DAREDEVIL) and NOVA: CENTURION by Jed MacKay (X-MEN) and Álvaro López (PREDATOR: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD). Both Phillips and MacKay are also writing their series’ respective IMPERIAL WAR one-shots.

PLANET SHE-HULK is a solo series unlike any other in She-Hulk’s history as she uses her brains and brawn to maintain order on the savage planet of Sakaar. NOVA: CENTURION represents a new era for one of Marvel’s oldest and most iconic space-faring heroes as Nova does whatever it takes to keep the memory of his people alive amidst the corrupt system now governing the stars.

GOT A PROBLEM? NOVA CAN HELP – FOR A PRICE!
With the Xandarian Worldmind, the sentient repository of an entire extinct people’s culture and history, relying on regular (and expensive) energy infusions, Richard Rider is for hire. A deep-space drifter weighed down with the truth of the terrible lie that the new Galactic Union was built upon, Nova is a corps of one. But how long can he keep his hands clean handling dirty money?

Nova en mercenaire ?! Olala…

je vois pas bien Nova en mercenaire, le mec est flic de l’espace depuis des années.

L’inspiration de cette série se rapprocherait plus du show tv ”200 dollars plus les frais” selon Hickman. On est sans doute plus proche du « héros à louer » que du mercenaire sans foi ni loi.

même avec cette explication, ça ne fonctionne pas pour moi, surtout dans la continuité du personnage.

Jed MacKay : “The Nova, his Accountant, his Agent, and the Pain in his Neck, as designed by space ace Álvaro López. Let’s talk about the characters of NOVA: CENTURION!

THE NOVA: Richard Rider. The last Nova in space, Rich has been saddled with a tremendous responsibility- keeping the Xandarian Worldmind powered, requiring credits, lots of credits. But every time he uses his powers to earn those credits, he burns costly energy reserves, which is why he needs…

…THE ACCOUNTANT: Aalbort of Aakon, highly trained and fulled accredited Combat Accountant, and Rich’s business partner. While a levelheaded warrior and number-cruncher, Aalbort is also a hopeless romantic numerous spouses to financially support, which is why he was recruited by…

…THE AGENT: Pip the Troll. There’s no one with a keener nose for macoy, a sharper eye for gelt, or fingers stickier for keeping hold of his 10%. Happening upon Rich at a particularly low point in the Nova’s life, Pip has installed himself as Rich’s business manager, lining up work until…

…THE PAIN IN HIS NECK: Cammi Benally, former protege to the Destroyer, teenage space pirate, and all-around bad-news roughneck. How exactly does Cammi throw a monkeywrench into the lives of Nova + co? Well…

…find out in NOVA: CENTURION #1, out November 19! Art by Álvaro López, colors by Mattia Iacono, and cover by Alessandro Cappuccio and Rachelle Rosenberg!

Bordel, MacKay ramène Cammi ?!
Hurmf. Dommage que ça soit autour d’un concept pourri mais, après le one-shot Imperial, ça m’enthousiasme un brin.

Verge en anglais est plus à rapprocher de « berge » que de « verge »… :wink:

Être « on the verge », c’est être sur le point de, être au bord, à la limite (même si, sans complément, j’ai un petit doute sur le sens précis).

Tori.
