Nova: Centurion Comic (2025)

Nova: Centurion 2025 from Marvel Comics launches a bold new chapter for one of the galaxy’s greatest cosmic heroes. Written by Jed MacKay and illustrated by Álvaro López and Mattia Iacono, this thrilling series places Richard Rider at the center of a dangerous universe where survival often comes at a cost. Once a proud member of the legendary Nova Corps, Richard Rider now stands alone. With the Corps gone and the galaxy more unstable than ever, he has become a Centurion of one—wandering the stars and taking jobs for anyone willing to pay. But his freelance heroics aren’t driven by greed. The powerful Xandarian Worldmind, the living archive that preserves the knowledge and legacy of the lost Xandarian civilization, depends on massive and constant energy infusions to survive. Keeping it alive is expensive, and Richard is running out of options. Haunted by the truth behind the newly formed Galactic Union, Nova drifts through deep space carrying secrets that could shake the universe. Each mission brings him closer to moral compromise as he accepts increasingly questionable contracts to keep the Worldmind functioning. In a galaxy filled with criminals, tyrants, and hidden conspiracies, Richard Rider must decide how far he’s willing to go. Can a hero stay clean while taking dirty money? Or will the last Nova slowly become something the universe fears instead of trusts?
