Nova

Rich Rider returns as Nova, cosmic hero for hire! 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 in the aftermath of IMPERIAL, Richard Rider is offering his services for hire. A deep-space drifter weighed down with the truth of the terrible lie upon which the new Galactic Union was built, the Human Rocket is a corps of one. But how long can he keep his hands clean handling dirty money? Taking a job for the gangsters of the Kree/Skrull War, Nova hunts a mysterium thief. But business becomes personal when the trail leads to an old nemesis, and the opportunity to settle old scores going back to the Annihilation War becomes worth more than any reward. Enter the murderer of untold Nova Corpsmen: Ravenous! Featuring the return of fan-favorite mercenary Cammi - and Nova's rocky reunion with Star-Lord! Collecting NOVA: CENTURION (2025) #1-6.
