Another solid volume. I just wish it was better though.

So axis is a weird storyline. Some stuff I loved, some I didn't. Nova stuff is in the middle.

Watching Sam take on Hulk was entertaining to say the least. I think it's the first major battle he's been in where he suffered injuries. The fight was fast paced and exciting at times, but some of the hulk dialog was terrible and the end wrapped up to quickly.

The next arc, while only one issue, was great. Focused on Sam accepting he's not the best, and he's growing, while taking a little tour with the Avengers. I personally really enjoyed this volume and love character growth.

Last arc is the weakest. Basically Carnage comes back into town and wants Sam's head. No real reason other than to kill him. Kind of lame and not all that fun. Well, the fights were, the rest was just borderline okay.

Think the worst part is Nova is a fun character who can have great stories, but keeps getting dragged into these fucking events. Let the boy just live his life goddamn you! 3/5
