Nova and Stargirl

 

The Stargirl series was a lot of fun.  I'm not holding my breath waiting for the character to show up in the DCU, though.  I assume that it will take a few years to establish a Justice League, let alone introduce the JSA and their spin-off characters.  As for Nova, Frankie Raye will probably be considered too close to Shalla Bal to be a candidate for entry into the MCU any time soon.

Coming tomorrow:  STF #4900!

Red Tornado and Nova

 

Red Tornado already has the power of The Tornado Tyrant within him, as told when his origin was fleshed out in one of my favorite JLA tales.  Getting an infusion from Galactus would really put him over the top.  It would be interesting to see what the ramifications of such a change would be.

Green Lantern and Nova in: "That's No Moon!"

 

Hal Jordan met the Richard Ryder Nova way back in STF #121, and I thought it was time that he met the Franke Raye version. I wonder how close the Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer from the upcoming Fantastic Four movie will be visually to this iteration of the Galcatus Herald.

Firehawk and Nova

 

We will be seeing a female Silver Surfer in Shalla Bal for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie.  Like many, I wonder why they aren't using the Frankie Raye Nova, who became a herald to Galactus in the comics.  Yes, I know that Shalla Bal had the power of the Silver Surfer for a handful of pages in the alternate world mini-series Earth X (and then was killed off), but it still seems like an odd choice.  Superman had a giant red ant head for an issue once, but I don't expect to see him look like that in the movies after all.

Coming tomorrow:  STF #4400!

Halo and Nova

I may be in the minority on this one, but I have always thought that Halo's costume was very cool.  I love the asymmetrical design of it and it looks good from many different angles - even if it might be a pain to illustrate for some.  Most of all, it's just unique!  Other artists have tried to update Jim Aparo's original look for the character, but nothing has worked as well for me as the original.
