I love this series but I really did not like this issue at all. The art is great as always but I just don't feel like the story is going anywhere. Why is Nova so resistant to rebuilding the Corps? I don't feel like any satisfying answer has been given to this. Either Richard Rider, savior of the universe, is not confident enough to deal with there being new centurions or Worldmind, one of the most intelligent beings in the universe, is acting hastily? I just can't believe either one of those. Not to mention that Nova and the entire corps has been on Earth for the past several issues, I mean is the rest of the universe somehow no longer in need of them? And in this issue not only does Worldmind strip Richard of all his powers but he orders the rest of the Corps to attack him. This series has been a little off the rails for the past couple issues and this one was way off. This has been one of my favorite Marvel books for a long time and I hope it gets back on track soon.
Story: 2 - Average
Art: 4 - Very Good
I think Richard is scared of this because how quickly the corps got destroied the last time.
He mentioned it I believe in the issue but he just doesnt want to see members get killed so quickly....Which could happen since all of these characters are turning into members without any training what so ever.
