One Scan from Nova 23

Only one, due to sheer amount of awesomeness and not deciding what to post.

	What about Phyla-Vell....>_ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	SPOILERS According to GotG, Phyla is the new avatar for Oblivion. I guess she is replacing the Dragon of the Moon or Wraith (from Annihilation: conquest) Good move. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought she was the new avatar for death? Or are they the same entity? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And where does this leave Doorman from GLA? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Death and Oblivion are separate entities, and are two of the "Big Four" of the MU's cosmic entities (Aside from the Living Tribubal); Eternity (Embodiment of the totality of life), Infinity (Embodiment of Existance/Space), Death (Embodiment of...well, Death) and Oblivion (Embodiment of non-Existance) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	sherkahn 2009-03-26 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	No, not of Death. She is the avatar for the embodiment of Oblivion, and based on the last page, she will have a big part to play in War of Kings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's explicitly stated as being Death's new avatar though, isn't she? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sherkahn 2009-03-26 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	Nope. Maelstrom was discussing to Phyla to Oblivion. That whole entire battle/Oblivion land occurred upon the cloak of Oblivion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The location of the conflict means squat; if Phylla had entered Oblivion's service, Maelstrom would have said "You have a new avatar" or "Oblivion has a new avatar", not "Death has a new avatar".

It also misses last issue's explicitly stating that at the time of the conversation Death had lost her avatar.

And ignores the thematic connection of skulls with death, not oblivion.

	Great, got the issue in my box. Picking it up tomorrow. Meh, not looking forward for her to be Evil. Nova is not a character that interests me and now he is Quasar. One step closer to getting Wendell back. Guess the fanboys got their wish :( (Reply to this) (Parent)

	wait til you read Gaurdians' then you'll really be confused. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kali921 2009-03-26 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	Wait, didn't we just get Wendell back? Or is Rich just going to temporarily be Quasar while he pounds on Worldmind? The Quasar mantle's been tossed around so much in the last eighteen months that it's getting a tad ridiculous, although Rich is definitely working that costume. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	pyrotwilight 2009-03-26 01:49 pm UTC (link)
	Nova and Wendell bonded via Wendell's Quantum bands. Possibly as a means of reversing Richard's cellular decay due to hosting the Worldmind before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kali921 2009-03-26 01:59 pm UTC (link)
	Aah, I'm about five issues behind on both Nova and GotG, so I hadn't caught that. Still, it's like Quasar's a radioactive potato that A&L keep throwing around. I hope they settle on who is going to be Quasar, because much as I overall like their work on the Nova book, the Quasar round robin is getting to be a joke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aulayan 2009-03-26 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	It'll be Wendell. He got the bands from Phyla. He gave them to Richard to keep him from dying. But the title of the book is still Nova...odds are it's temporary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kali921 2009-03-26 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	It must be nice to have a buddy with a set of Quantum Bands. You can just tightbeam him whenever you're sick and have him come rearrange your molecular structure to get rid of those pesky viruses. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Whatever, more Doctor Necker! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	POTENTIAL SPOILER She needs to become the Scientist Supreme of AIM and have a slinky costume; then she and Madame Hydra can get into a catfight. Red on green, baby! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Merry Christmas, everyone! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fu-s-ion HA! So cool. I need to add this to my subscription list. (Reply to this)

	synnerman 2009-03-26 03:02 pm UTC (link)
	Actually, I could buy Richard Ryder taking the Nova moniker and keeping the Quantum Bands as his power source. They up his profile enormously over simply being the receptacle for an evil computer. (Reply to this) (Thread)

He's not evil!

He's just tired, stressed, possesses the sort of arrogance that says "I'm smarter then you, therefore I'm right', possibly is a little glitchy from recent events (trying to keep the Nova Force from killing Richard for a year, recovering from a Phalanx infection, and being rather painfully crashed while getting off Galactus's latest meal), and my own theory, suffering from a not-so-mild case of Post-traumatic stress after all that.
