Jay Faerber (writer of New Warriors) provided some information about upcoming Nova events! He stated "that Nova will be returning to his original, classic duds in NEW WARRIORS #6, and that he'll have a very big role in the year-end storyline, which cumulates in a (hopefully) double-sized #12.

RETURN OF NOVA'S ORIGINAL COSTUME!
Marvel Comics' website www.marvel.com is reporting that Nova will be returning to his original costume in New Warriors #6!

NOVA IN NEW WARRIORS.
Jay Faerber told me New Warriors #12 will (hopefully) be a "double-sized 12th issue, that focuses heavily on Nova, and involves plot threads (or rather, one specific plot thread) from all three NOVA series! I think readers (both longtime, and new) will really get a kick out of how we wrap up our first year. Nova's certainly gonna be put through the ringer!"

PLANS FOR NOVA.
At Wizard World in Chicago, Erik Larsen told me that the Nova storylines were going to lead up to a fantastic space battle with Nebula in issue #12. Nova was going to recruit space-based heroes (including Warlock, Quasar and Beta Ray Bill) into his campaign against Nebula.

NOVA CANCELLED.
Marvel Comics has cancelled Nova as of issue #7. Erik Larsen says that Nova will make a guest appearance in Wolverine.
