Nova is rumoured to be featuring in a new series from Marvel Comics following the conclusion of Avengers vs X-Men.

Bleeding Cool claims that Ed McGuinness will be providing artwork on the character's solo title, while a writer is yet to be confirmed.



The report name-drops Brian Michael Bendis and McGuinness's Hulk collaborator Jeph Loeb as the favourites to pen the Nova title.

Avengers vs X-Men will have a profound impact on the status quo of the Marvel Universe. Several X-Men comics are expected to be overhauled, and brand new titles unveiled.

Marvel's editor-in-chief Axel Alonso previously moved to stamp out rumours that the crossover event will kickstart a full relaunch similar to DC Comics' 'New 52'.

Avengers vs X-Men will conclude with issue #12 in September.
