I finally had a complete chill day this past Sunday and I got one of my back burner fan art projects done. A couple months ago this British guy contacted me on deviant art about getting some input about this story line he and some friends had written having to do with this confrontation Nova has with the dire wraiths. As I understand it this is supposed to be some manner of online comic with something of a Halloween theme. Needless to say I liked their script and it inspired me to come up with some art work. At this time I don't want to give too much away about it but for now I can tell you this much, the dire wraiths are masters at deception which can be a formidable weapon that even raw power can't always over come as The Torpedo* found out the hard way. For this battle Richard Rider will need much more then his Nova Prime powers. Sometimes it's your will and even your imagination that makes the difference between life and death, in particular your brain getting sucked out of your skull kinda death.
For those of you who would like a comprehensive review of Nova's origins check out this cool video and yes they made sure to include ROM #24.
* Special note: The Torpedo and Nova were both co-created by Marv Wolfman
Sept. 23 Update: I just got confirmation today that the Marvel Age Magazine #7 "Ron" misprint has nothing to do with this custom doll for anyone who's interested in knowing.
All this fan art I've been getting in recent weeks along with the Sal
Buscema bonus pin-up page recently has gotten me all jazzed to do
something myself. Here's a little something that's been in the back of
my mind for a while now but until recently I hadn't been motivated to
just sit down and do it.
