'Rama Rating: 7 out of 10

When the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was announced, who would have expected Nebula to wind up becoming one of the most emotionally complex members of the team? Yet as the Marvel Cinematic Universe unfolded, Nebula's characterization only deepened - bringing her even further away from her comic book counterpart. With that in mind, it's a no-brainer for Marvel to update the character to better fit the popular mold - and while they have to stretch to get there, writer Vita Ayala and artist Claire Roe deliver a solid story despite the character's murky status quo.

In a lot of ways, the best part of Nebula #1 is also the worst part of Nebula #1 - namely, that the character is such a blank slate that there's little that makes this feel like a Nebula story. With Nebula off to steal a priceless alien weapons technology that will enable her to game out encounters with an upgraded probability sense, there's a lot of vibes similar to Gail Simone and Benjamin Percy's recent work with Domino, or even the classic Cassandra Cain Batgirl stories. That said, there are a lot worse places to draw inspiration from - and in certain ways, I almost think it's a smart tactical move. If the goal is to shift Nebula's characterization from one-dimensional space warlord to a more three-dimensional and conflicted antiheroine, incorporating some of these more familiar components into the storytelling machinery is a great way to begin that change in an exciting way.

And you definitely can't accuse Ayala of skimping on the excitement. This feels like one of their more action-heavy scripts in recent memory, and I think that's to Nebula's benefit - there's a lot of tension and pressure straight from the jump, as Nebula's on the clock to get this new technology embedded in her cybernetic nervous system right away. And while it requires a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief, the way Ayala gets to field-test Nebula's glitchy new additions against the threat of Devos is a fun bit that gets to showcase our protagonist's scrappiness and creativity when her back is against the wall.

But I'd say the real MVP of this book has to be artist Claire Roe. She brings a sharp edge to Nebula's features that I think really fits such a prickly protagonist - I see a lot of similarities to artists like Chris Samnee in Roe's rendering, which is only a good thing for us as readers. As far as expressiveness goes, Roe does a good job, but seems to lean heavily into the gleeful villainy of the character - but given the way she portrays Ayala's status-changing cliffhanger, I think we'll see a lot more emotional range from Roe soon. But let's be real - given how action-oriented this first issue is, Roe is given a real meal of a script, and the way she portrays Nebula's fight choreography means this book packs a nice punch. Colorist Mike Spicer leans a little traditional for my liking with his color palette at the cost of some atmosphere, but like Roe, his work takes a slight shift towards the finale, making me wonder if we'll be seeing the art style shift and evolve as Nebula's story continues.

While Nebula #1 isn't necessarily a game-changer for either the character or any of the creatives involved, this is definitely a solidly constructed actioner that will leave you entertained - and for fans of Karen Gillen's portrayal of the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that's exactly what they're going to be looking for. One could certainly make the argument that before you reinvent the wheel with a character like this, you've got to establish a baseline, and I do think Ayala and Roe accomplish that here. Nebula #1 isn't necessarily the upgrade that the credits page promises, but it does look like a promising first step.

Carino anche questo secondo numero. Ho apprezzato le citazioni di Star Wars e i disegni sono stati di mio gradimento.
Scorrevole anche se poco originale.
