Story had holes

Great graphics but the story leaped ahead and got confusing. I was definitely drawn in but the bomb part didn't make sense.

Para un personaje especializado en espionaje, habla mucho. Esto no fue tanto una historia, sino un reporte de una historia. Demasiada exposición innecesaria. Quizás otra víctima del síndrome del límite de páginas. El cómic hubiera sido mejor de haber sido tratado como una historia y no (espero estar equivocado al decirlo) simple material de promoción. La historia pudo haber mostrado el peligro que encaraba Nova en vez de explicarlo en encabezado. Y hablando de ello, es como si el escrito no confiaba en la habilidad del ilustrador para expresar lo que sucede en el libreto.

Pero no hay mérito en esa desconfianza, el dibujo es excelente. Se siente sucio y crudo. El coloreado me recuerda a viejas historietas europeas. En ese aspecto me encanta, es lamentable que la narración fue un desperdicio.

Once again Nova delivers... I've read two novels with Nova as the main character so seeing her come to life in the pages is awesome...outstanding!!!!!

Love the games - thought I might give this a go. Good short story, has a nice rounded ending. But the main character and the voice-over like narration at the beginning was not super engaging, not for a graphic novel at least. I think it works better as simple text, but the story is good.

Interesting read. Not the portrayal of an assassin that I had thought about.

Okay

It's okay for a comic issue I guess it's way too short in my opinion. The art is good so I may consider more.

I Love 💘 Nova

This was not a bad little story the artwork could have been a little bit better. I am disappointed that her game got shelves and possibly never see 👀the light of day.
