Nova #23
In "End of Story," Richard confronts a crisis of trust when Dr. Necker’s past as an A.I.M. spy forces him to reject her aid. With the return of Wendell Vaughn—reintroduced after his absence in Guardians of the Galaxy #12—Richard is handed the quantum bands, marking his transformation into the new Quasar. Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and illustrated by Andrea DiVito with colors by Bruno Hang, this pivotal issue sees the mantle of Quasar passed on with weight and consequence. The cover, by Daniel Acuña, captures the moment’s intensity.
