Nova #27 Review

Writer:Gerry Duggan / Artist:John Timms Moreira / Marvel this issue was Nova picks up where the last left off. Carnage comes up in Sam’s high school looking to kill him and we see his principal step in t save him (if you know there history this is surprising that he would go this far and redeeming as well). Sam had his mother and sister impersonate him from afar to trick Carnage into thinking he had the wrong Sam Alexander. the fighting and itneractions between them this issue felt less dire as their fight was in the previous one. I love comedy in my books but I never really got a sense that Carnage was trying to kill Sam (he clearly was) because this iteration of Carnage wasn’t the clear cut psycho killer he is usually presented as. The fight is essentially is dragged through an Anthrax concert (hilarious on Duggan’s end and awesome on the part of Moreira’s art) then onto a highway. Duggan serves us a vulnerable Carnage dealing with his psychosis returning to him after having been an actual good guy in the Axis cross over which is why he wants to kill Sam. Carnage doesn’t want any trace of anyone remembering him as that. It’s truly a sad sight to see… then you remember this dude Carnage has more bodies under him than a necrophiliac and you don’t feel quite that bad anymore. A real stand out part of this book for me aside from the story was Moreira’s art.His depictions of Sam moving from scene to scene was fucking spectacular. Do you see the kid fucking grinding on that rai…
