Summary
Nova Vol. 5 #5 was published in the United States on June 26, 2013, as the conclusion of the first story arc of the Nova series during Marvel's "Marvel NOW!" era, created by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness. The story continues the experience of Sam Alexander, a boy from Carefree, Arizona, who inherits the Nova helmet left by his father, becomes a new member of the Nova Corps, and learns from the Watcher that a Chitauri fleet is bearing down on Earth. In this issue, Titus, once a member of the Nova Corps and now allied with the Chitauri, pursues Sam to Earth and draws Sam's family and friends, along with the schoolmates who usually bully him, into the crisis. Sam can only grope his way toward using the helmet and the "Nova Force" while carrying the battlefield from his doorstep back into space, finally using the Ultimate Nullifier to draw Titus and the entire fleet into a black hole and single-handedly defending Earth. After the event, Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, and the Watcher appear in turn, and Sam at last resolves to search for his missing father and to shoulder his responsibility as Nova. This is issue #5 of the series and the final issue of the Loeb–McGuinness run.
Editor's review
这是“漫威 NOW!”重启后推出的新星系列第一段故事线的高潮与收束。约瑟夫·罗伊柏擅长写少年英雄的成长时刻：山姆不是天赋异禀的完人，他会算错距离、误判敌人强弱，甚至把战斗打到自己家门口，可正是这种笨拙与倔强，让他戴上头盔的那一刻格外动人。艾德·麦吉尼斯的作画线条饱满、动作场面开阔，从无忧镇的街道到月球、到滚滚黑云般的奇塔瑞舰队，节奏干脆利落。对刚认识新星的读者来说，这一期把“头盔、传承、父子、责任”几条线索同时推到台前，读完便明白这个少年为何值得被称作“人形火箭”。也适合追漫威宇宙线、想补齐银河护卫队与新星军团前史的读者。
Who it's for
A good fit for
- 喜欢少年成长型超级英雄故事的读者
- 追漫威宇宙线、想了解山姆·亚历山大起源的读者
- 偏爱大场面太空战斗与明快画面的欧美漫画读者
- 因银河护卫队、火箭浣熊、卡魔拉而延伸阅读的影迷
Not a good fit for
- 想看初代新星理查·莱德老派故事线的读者
- 习惯单册完整起承转合、不愿从系列中途切入的读者
- 偏好写实黑暗风格、对美式青少年英雄无感的读者
Reading tips
- 建议先读同故事线的第1—4期，本期是泰特斯冲突的收束，单独切入会错过前情铺垫。
- 留意山姆使用头盔时的失误与学习过程，这是罗伊柏塑造“新手英雄”的核心手法。
- 读完可接续该系列第6期起（Zeb Wells 编剧）与《新星：新秀赛季》合集，看角色如何进入更大的宇宙事件。
- 若是影迷读者，可对照《银河护卫队》电影中的新星军团设定，体会漫画与银幕改编的差异。
FAQ
《新星》第5期和第1—9期合集是什么关系？
第5期是单期漫画，属于2013年《新星》第5卷；它也被收录进《新星：起源》（Nova: Origin）等合集，合集还包含第1—4期及《Marvel NOW! Point One》中的新星短篇。
这一期是泰特斯故事线的结尾吗？
是。第1—5期构成山姆·亚历山大登场后的第一段完整故事线，第5期以泰特斯与奇塔瑞舰队的结局收束，也是罗伊柏与麦吉尼斯主创阶段的最后一期。
没读过前四期能看懂吗？
基本能跟上动作场面，但山姆如何得到头盔、如何结识火箭浣熊与卡魔拉、与泰特斯的恩怨等关键前提都在前四期，建议按顺序阅读。
本期有中文正式出版版本吗？
目前未能核实到该单期的中文实体版出版信息（出版社、书号、出版年），如需中文阅读请以实际出版的引进合集或官方数字版为准。
