Psionic Dampener saves the Day...doesn't it always ?
It never hurts to have a psionic dampener with you while perusing deep space. Richard Rider found this out first hand in persuit of Strontian who was having her way with Richie's brother Robbie out in Kree-Lar territory. Seems Richie has a gadget for every occasion, as most good superheros do. This issue wraped up a War of Kings tie-in with Richie saving his brother Robbie who was out here to arrest Strontian and return her for war crimes. The rookie couldn't handle it, Nova Prime and a couple of coharts handle it. Richie sends the losers of the Nova Corps home, keeps the best and starts rebuilding the Corps. With the rescue objective complete, The remaining Corps set sail for "The Fault", to clean up the unholy mess left by the Kree. You just knew that Richie's brother Robbie wasn't going to die, and I didn't think that he'd remain a Corps member but did. Nice little surprise there. Another fluid Abnett & Lanning installment of Nova which has been a great read for fans of intergalatic drama. This issue had a ton of action related to the rescue and a small dose of drama to round out the story. That works for me. 3 stars.
