Are you sure about that ? I'm pretty sure he tanked it.
A weaker non Q band vesrion of Annihilus slapped Nova around previously in the beginning of the arc, so it makes sense that Q band Annihilus tanked the blast but was weakend, and Nova was fine and not weakend as he didnt tank the blast.

I still don't see Lord Mar-vell losing to Annihilus.
Originally posted by NihilistThey ported away from the eye of the blast but he still took the same portion of blast that Annihilus did. That's why Annihilus said he was impressed remember?

Originally posted by dmillsAnnihilus was at the eye of the blast, he was on the same ship as Galactus when he was released iirc, he flew to a nearby metor as Galactus had broken free.

It does make sense that Nova too the same amount of the blast as Annihilus, when Annihilus was well above Nova without the bands, but ended up in a weaker condition with the bands then what Nova was if they had supposedly taken the same amount of force blast.
Originally posted by NihilistI'm assuming you meant it "doesn't" make sense. I'll go back and check it out again. IIRC Nova and his crew were about a light year or so away from the eye of the blast. In any case I believe the panel was fairly clear that Nova did in fact get caught in the blast.

God I hope I ain't remembering this with FIS. That would be embarrassing and you'd never let me live it down.

You may be right that they was a light year away, but iirc Annihilus was right next to the blast a took the full force of it. I alway got the impression the ported out just in time but the reader was lead to believe they had died.
Didnt Phyla say something about that they would not survive the blast.
I looked at it. Dammit you are right, somewhat. Annihilus took the full force of the blast, but Rider and co didn't. I thought that they got caught in the blast from a distance and Nova protected them at the last second, but even that isn't clear.
Either way you've taken away a major durability feat that I used to argue in favor of Dick Rider, i.e. tanking the "Herald my rage blast". Now I'm phucked, so phuck you very much. May you have chronic anal itching for the rest of your days.
I'm going to go walk off of a bridge now.

Originally posted by NihilistI was just talking with someone about this the other day. DnA seemed to really play it safe and conservative with the character. Now I'll be the first to admit that some of his older stuff is a bit retro/cheesy, but he had some great superhero moments during his second run. DnA seemed to focus more on the sci-fi aspect of the character. That's not to say he didn't have some cool "just wow" moments in his latest run, but not like the old days IMO. They also ignored a lot of the quasi-mystical aspects of the Nova Force as well as Nova's other more exotic powers.
I was being serious man, Nova is one of my fave heroes, id just like someone other than DnA to write him.
Originally posted by dmillsGiffen did a great job with Nova during Annihilation. DnA started really well, but had him in limbo for too long. Though during TI they did a good job, especially the part were he put the others to shame with his courage going to help Starlord.

I was just going to say that about Giffen. He gave the character a whole new level of depth. Like you said, DnA started strong but really coasted with the character for about a while. The "Riddle of the Sphinx" arc was one of the weakest I've ever read.
Who do you think could do a good job with the character? I actually thought that Pak could pull it off, but his Nova depiction sucked in Hulks 614. He got the potential power level about right, but his depiction of the personality was waaay off.
