Sweet. I bought the Marvel Essential Nova a year ago, and was bummed
that it ended on a cliffhanger. It looks like that In Search of
Galactus trade is the concluding chapter to Wolfman's original Nova

bad. I wish Marvel would work something out with Parker Brothers so
they could reprint the Rom, The Space Knight series.
