I'm not sure what to make of this issue. I liked it, I know that much. But was this necessary? I don't think anything was addressed. It was all a lucid dream in a catatonic Nova's head as the techno organic virus tries to take him over.
This hallucination gives a glimpse of a future where Nova became the 'torchbearer' of the Nova Corps, recreating it and restoring it to its former glory with such members as Gamora and Quasar. Only problem with this future is the Phalanx conquered Earth and Nova is now leading the charge in the final battle to exterminate the last of their numbers. This is all coupled with an altered origin for Nova that features him battling Phalanx with his predecessor on Earth. The issue ends with Nova waking up on the Technarchy homeworld and fighting back yet another TO-virus attempt to take him over.
In short, nothing happens. For a double sized issue, I expected more, but still enjoyed what I was given. Would have liked some progression with the current story though. This makes two issues in a row where pretty much nothing happens with the main story, but some nice moments nonetheless.
