I am really enjoying these Nova Corps Data Files at the end of the Annihilation books. For someone who's Marvel experience has been fairly Earth grounded - what with Spider-Man not getting mixed up in too much cosmic shite - it's a helpful intro to the Marvel Universe at large. Some of the things you learn are quite surprising. And some things, just raise more questions.
Nova saved the Earth from the Deathstorm? When did this happen? And what the heck is the Deathstorm? Is it it like Ultimate Gah' Lak' Tus? Or is it what happens when Eternity eats too many spicy burritos?
Richard Rider restarted the Nova Corps? And defended the world of Xandar from alien invasion? Then why was he regarded as a rookie by the other Novas? Kyle Rayner helped restart the Green Lanterns, and he seems to get respect from the veterans. I guess DC aliens are nicer, or more respectful, or something.
How was this Garthan Saal able to take all of the Nova Force, but not take the Worldmind? If he had the Worldmind, he should have been able to regulate the damage the Nova Force does to him, right? Well, OK, based on Rich's reaction to the power, maybe not. But still, if he was running around, causing damage with the Nova Force, why didn't the Worldmind just take it away? If the Worldmind "gives" out power to the Nova Corps, and can regulate how much it gives, you'd think it could take away from one that abuses the power.
So many questions. I may have to pick up all these books in the hopes I get the backstories I'm looking for.
