This is what a great space arc is supposed to be.  Like what many of the iFanboy guys have said in the past, NOVA is the Dr Who book of Marvel.  This issue is like the third act of a one hour Dr Who episode.  What is interesting is how traditional action this is.  I loved the challenges of matching up heroes and villains.  While the writing is a little lite, the action and art is very high. 

The big surprise though might be what was predicted for the future of Marvel Cosmic.

The Shadow War???

Abnett and Lanning did easter eggs like this in the past and they all came to fruition.
