MPQ fanatics!

Let this serve as a heads-up that first details for the fiery arrival of Nova in Marvel Puzzle Quest are now available.

Jet over to Marvel.com right away for debut deets unveiled in a chat with Demiurge’s Miles Benjamin. Preview screenshots and power peeks for Sam Alexander are available for eager eyes to pour over.

You can READ IT HERE.

PIECING TOGETHER MARVEL PUZZLE QUEST: NOVA
Quote:
"Marvel.com: Now to the uninitiated a guy whose main descriptor is 'human rocket' might sound pretty one dimensional, but Nova’s got a ton of different powers he can bring to bear. How’d you guys address that in his in-game abilities?

Miles Benjamin: Flying around super fast may be Nova’s signature move, but saying he’s just a “human rocket” is like saying Captain America is just a “shield throw guy.” There’s a lot Nova can do with that speed, and so all of his powers are about momentum he builds up and then cashes it in for big damage."

    The story currently lists Joe Fletcher as the interviewee. It is actually Demiurge's Miles Benjamin speaking. This should be fixed shortly.

    Kinda shatters the illusion that these are real interviews.

    The Star-Lord thing has become a running joke now, hasn't it?

    Anyway, pretty cool character!

    Looks cool. Can't wait to see his full stats. Hopefully his damage numbers won't be too low to compensate for his low cost abilities.

    ok, 100% want! We just found the perfect partner for Carnage, OML, GR, Falcap, PX, etc..

    Can you toss us a special 1 cover event like with some of the other releases?

    At least The Hunt is only a 4 day event!

    I look forward to using a partially covered version of him for the next 8-10 months.

    How about a Galactus run instead so we get to fight with our alliance and potentially get 3 covers?

    Supposed to lose Galactus, or version 2 Galactus?

    Marvel.com articles have always read like thinly-veiled press releases...

    I could handle another round against V2 Galimptus... let my 2.5 year old play him.

    Well, judging from the sneak peek thread, you guys just got your wish on Galactus.

    I would've expected something like that, especially given how verbose Sam Alexander is -- writing his dialogue would've been pretty snappy & fun.

    Anyway, I love his ability design and looking forward to getting him!

    The beak-like red Nova symbol on the helmet, in the side view, makes him look like an angry cockatoo.

    Those only happen pre-character release so as much as we would all like it to happen I feel it may be unlikely.

    Any idea when Nova's stats will be updated?
