This is one big ass collection. 20 issues and...it's pretty good!
The first four are basically Annihilation crossover but gives you insight to why Nova is so strong. Being the last remaining one of the Nova corp and have Worldmind, a sentient supercomputer to help him fight back makes for some fun adventures. After Annihilation crossover issues we get the best of the bunch in the collection of Richard (nova) returning to earth and trying to live a somewhat normal life.
The best part about this is him wanting really nothing to do with the Civil War events happening then. His father calling him a monster. Not fitting in with any of his old friends. He just decides fuck all that and flies off to space. Which sucks because I was learning the earth storyline but I get it.
We then get into the start of the next major crossover, Annihilation conquest. Basic this race is taking over people's minds. It's okay. Some cool starting moments, Nova almost dying, and some badass fights but the middle portion is the weakest for me. Too much talking and not enough to really say anything important.
Luckily we end really strong with a 3 issue arc of Nova trying to stop a planet from being destroyed by Galactus. When he realizes it is too late he decides to help people evacuate. This leads to Harrow, a spirit possessing people and trying to stop Nova from doing just that. Leading the Silver Surfer to come into the picture.
The ending leaves it up to Richard trying to get back his friend. I wonder how the second complete collection will end up. But so far this was pretty good. Overall about a 3.5 but I'll bump it up to a 4 out of 5.
