Nova No. 9

Summary
Nova No. 9 is the hardest fight Sam Alexander has faced since becoming Nova. Titled "Chapter Nine: Infinity Squared," this issue continues the Infinity event line: Thanos's fleet bears down on Earth, and Proxima Midnight, one of the Black Order, sends her assassin Kaldera to Earth for one purpose—to kill the boy still wearing his father's old helmet. Kaldera proposes a Brakata-style duel of honor: no powers, no weapons, bare hands to decide the outcome. Sam agrees to the rules, but when she insults his mother, he breaks them, strikes back with the Nova Force, and turns himself from "the rookie who follows the rules" into "the kid who protects his family." Meanwhile, New Warriors veterans Speedball (Robbie Baldwin) and Justice (Vance Astrovik) appear and urge Sam to help rebuild their scattered team, giving him his first taste of what "team" and "responsibility" mean. This is issue No. 9 of the series (Nova Vol. 5, serialized from 2013), written by Zeb Wells with art by Paco Medina, and the closing part of the "Nova: Rookie Season" storyline.
Editor's review
如果只读一本新星,很难读懂他;但读这一期,你能读到他的「不成熟」有多可爱。编剧Zeb Wells(《机器鸡》出身)把美式喜剧的节奏塞进宇宙战争:少年一边应付灭霸的星际舰队,一边被妈妈一句「踢她屁股,萨姆」送上前线——这种反差正是这一期最好看的地方。卡尔德拉这个反派不是单纯的恶人,她与萨姆一样被大人物当棋子使,这让打斗有了情绪落点。Paco Medina的线条干净利落,动作分镜节奏明快,虽然面部表情略显单一、对宇宙级反派的压迫感刻画不足,作为「无限」大事件的支线,这期其实相当独立:即使你没读主线,也不影响理解。适合想认识山姆·亚历山大、或想给青少年找一本入门漫威单期的读者。本期收录于《新星:菜鸟赛季》合订本(Nova Vol.2: Rookie Season)。

FAQ
这期是新星(萨姆·亚历山大)还是理查德·莱德?
是萨姆·亚历山大的故事。2013年2月起的《新星》第5卷起用少年萨姆·亚历山大为主角,第9期属于这条连载,ISBN信息对应合订本《新星:菜鸟赛季》(Nova Vol.2: Rookie Season)。
没读过「无限」大事件能直接读这期吗?
可以。这期虽是「无限」联动,但主线冲突集中在萨姆与卡尔德拉的对决以及新勇士的登场,与大事件主线的关联较为松散,独立阅读基本不受影响。
这期收录在哪本合订本里?
本期收录于《新星:菜鸟赛季》(Nova Vol.2: Rookie Season),该合订本收录《新星》(2013)第6—9期及第10期部分内容,2014年3月由Marvel出版。
编剧和画师是谁?
编剧为Zeb Wells,画师为Paco Medina,勾线Juan Vlasco,上色David Curiel,封面由Ed McGuinness绘制,编辑为Stephen Wacker。
