I keep thinking NINO (Nova In Name Only) can’t get any worse. And then, NINO defies my expectations and hits a new low point. The NINO “Special” may “specially” occupy the space of worst NINO story to date.
There is not one saving grace in this issue. The art is horrible – amateurishly cartoonish. The coloring is horrible – dull, flat, and washed-out. The writing is insultingly bad – worse than Loeb, Wells, and Duggan combined if you can believe it!
Marvel just can’t stop themselves from destroying everything DnA did to bring quality to cosmic storylines. This time out, they take Monark Starstalker and turn him into a mewling, pathetic little wuss who screws up and has to ask for help from NINO. Really? NINO? Asking for help from NINO? Loeb’s idiot brainchild? Why would anyone ask for help from NINO? Especially a clever and tough android like Starstalker. And then NINO does very little to help. He pretty much just stands around and talks about why he can’t help. And he’s ineffectual in the brief fight. Pathetic.
To top it off, it really isn’t even a cosmic or NINO story – it’s an X-Men and Iron Man story. So, once again, the cosmic characters are sent to the back of the bus, and the superhero headliner characters take over the book.
This issue is proof positive of what I’ve been saying all along about NINO. If you keep buying it – all you’ll get is more NINO, and it will just get worse.
Please save your $4.99 and leave this trash on the shelf. Marvel needs to be punished for this one. In fact, Marvel needs to be punished for producing NINO at all. For those of you still buying NINO, and therefore shoveling more dirt on Rider’s grave, join the rest of us in the boycott. Remove NINO from your pull list, cancel you digital subscription to NINO, boycott the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon and erase it from your DVR’s record list, remove New Warriors from your pull list or digital subscription, and above all – buy no NINO merchandise. A few thousand less in sales and we can be rid of NINO forever.
Nix NINO!
Long live Rich Rider!
