Description
This page from Nova (Vol. 4) #10, released January 9, 2008, captures a critical turning point in Richard Rider’s battle against the Transmode Virus. Although previously placed in remission, the virus resurfaces after a haunting encounter on Knowhere. The experience leaves Nova weakened and vulnerable.

Determined to stop the Phalanx from overrunning the galaxy, Nova sets course for Kvch. It is the homeworld of the Technarchy and the origin of the virus. This page marks the beginning of that desperate mission. Gamora and Drax, still under Phalanx control, are close behind.

Thanks Carl! It is a memorable one for sure. Especially because of the one in Annihilation Conquest 6 looking so similar. My last big splash for this collection for a while.

Such a great run of books and an excellent curation of them in your collection!

Thanks Derek. It was fun opening up my top 12 today filled with splashes, the cover prelim and DPS's. The part that was fun to curate was the balance. The top 6 were of the era of Keith Giffen and the Bottom 6 were that of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. The bad guys were well represented as well as many of the characters from the Guardians of the Galaxy. The storylines were well represented as well as many of the significant artists of the era. I think I have finally found balance lol. Still 3 more pages to post from the series until OAX.

The payments are always painful, but this one was a happy surprise for me. I hope I get to find more great splashes in the future at this price point. Well when my bank account recovers from the last few months lol.

Have not read the series, but it's hard to imagine getting a better example from it.  Congrats bud.

Thanks Eric. It is one of the better ones, but I will say there were many amazing artists working on this run, so I am thrilled to see it all. This was also special due to the timing though.

That's right, issue number ten, Short Dawg's in the house
It's gettin' close to Conquest y'all
But we gonna kick it like this Annihilation

Now let me holler at you Nova, spit this game
In your ear for a minute, Kvch complaining
'Bout how you can't spend it 'cause you infected
You got virus takes but not enough to get started
I hope you get the message, so it's got Alves it's
Just mean flyin' legit, they can't arrest me so trust me
I'm Technarchy, I want some more stuff
Get splash and watch my whole crew blow up
So Drax yours, for Make Yourself album
Diaz’s game to ink by the gallon
Give everything to Warmth, get real, get your whale
Get to worlds of big scale and get your ass artwork grail
You should be gettin' it, everything you want
Everything you dreamed of, never have to front
You should be gettin' it, gettin' claimy

That reflection needs its own sound effect. Thanks Ruben!
