For fear of showing my age, I will say that I loved NOVA when Marv Wolfman introduced it in the late-70s. It started out as cool homage "light" rip-off of Spider-Man -- and then became a rather mind-boggling homage/"light" rip-off of the Green Lantern Corps.
That said, I never thought of Nova as "cosmic" -- not in the way any of Jim Starlin's work was. By the way, as good as Captain Marvel/Thanos/Death of Captain Marvel was, I've always thought that WARLOCK was Starlin's true masterpiece -- weaving in fantasy, philosophy ("How do you choose between the lesser of two evils -- when the greater one is a versio of yourself!"), science-fiction and mind-blowing art. Highly recommended -- the two-part conclusion to the Warlock/Thanos saga in Avengers and Marvel Two-in-One Annuals was a true fanboy dream at the time!
