In the Previews for items shipping in February 2013, it featured a model sheet done by Ed McGuinness for the Nova series with Sam Alexander as Nova.

This appears to be a model sheet done by Mike Deodato, Jr. for the Hasbro Nova action figure in 2012.

Prior to the release of Nova #1 (2007), Marvel printed a preview of the series to be given out at comic conventions. The giveaway was four pages long including the cover and back cover (pictured).

The two remaining pages contained a written summary of the events of Annihilation and a single page from Nova #1.

This is an unused original cover to Nova #17 v4. The artwork for this cover to #17 was done by Paul Davidson!

This is the unused original cover to The Man Called Nova #7 by Dave Cockrum! On the cover, you can see the notes from Marv Wolfman to Jack Kirby. Wolfman gave Kirby the work done by Cockrum with instructions on how he wanted a new version of the cover to look. Kirby's version appeared as the cover to #7.

Special thanks to Mark Levy for the scan!!

This is an unpublished page to what appears to be a New Defenders series that never made publication. The art is by former Nova: The Human Rocket artist Joe Bennett. The art features Namorita and BOTH Novas (Rich Rider and Frankie Raye)!

Joe recalls: "This was a tryout for a new series called THE NEW DEFENDERS. It was a crazy dream of a mad man, that I did for a friend. In the end to all this was a great big NO to the dream. I did two pages and a cover, I think almost 11 years ago (around 1997). It was never published by Marvel, they ignored it."

In an e-mail exchange with Nova fan Andy Mokler, Nova's creator Marv Wolfman revealed the meaning of the three starbursts that are on Nova's chest. Marv explained that "They symbolize the three worlds of his solar system that created the Nova Corps."

In a follow-up e-mail, I asked Marv about the big starburst on Nova's back and if it perhaps symbolized the sun of the Tranta System (the solar system of Xandar). Marv's response to me was "No. it was just a design element, like Spider-Man's back spider."

Special thanks to Andy for sharing his information!!!

Issue #15 of Marvel's official magazine, FOOM, talked about Marv Wolfman's early plans for Nova. It mentions that Nova was going to battle a villain tentatively named Disastro. Based on the magazine's description, this appears to have been the original name for Megaman.
