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 run. They probably didn't reprint the Rom story though, which is too bad. I wish Marvel would work something out with Parker Brothers so they could reprint the Rom, The Space Knight series.
