Nova #22

This book is really going down hill. The past two issues have been just awful. This is a complete turn in the story and what feels like an unmotivated 180 for Worldmind. I do not buy him as a bad guy AT ALL. Worldmind and the Nova Corps are supposed to be a force for ultimate good in the universe and now he is a villain using mind control? I get that the Nova Force apparently damaged him but I just don't like it. It seems forced. This story arc since the end of SI feels like Abnett and Lanning are either out of ideas for this book or they are putting all of their energy into War of Kings and just killing time until this book crosses over into that mini. I have really like this book since the first issue so I am going to stick with it but only because I am hoping it gets back on track after War of Kings. P.S. - The last panel revealing Richard has "Less than 48 hours to live!" felt like a REALLY bad day time soap opera. Abnett and Lanning have been hitting on all cylinders on every book they have been involved with since Annihilation Conquest which is why these past few issues have seemed like such a let down.
