Sphinx has been building back up for several issues, and now he’s ready to fight Nova so he can absorb Nova’s powers.
Nova evades Sphinx and destroys Sphinx’s stone.
Yes. A battle that has been building for five issues ended in five pags.
During the battle, there’s lots of damage to the city. One of the buildings destroyed is an apartment building where Mary Brock lives–and she is rendered comatose.
At the end, Eddie “Venom” Brock vows to kill Nova.
He will try to do so next issue, which will be the final issue of Nova’s run.
