Ever since his first appearance in Fantastic Four #13, there has been much mystery surrounded Uatu, also known as The Watcher. He and his people’s mission is simple, observe and record everything while not interfering at all. Uatu has, however, interfered on several occasions and eventually left, only returning to witness pivotal moments in our history. His passion and curiosity of our world always keeps him nearby, which may be the cause of what is to come as Original Sin begins…

Since first putting on his fathers Nova helmet, Sam Alexander has been on several adventures. In these travels he’s come across Uatu. He is very curious to why he does what he does, watching and recording. Who is he doing it for and for what purpose? No one seems to know and Nova is going to ask him. In his answer we get to see how MUCH he see’s as well as why his people do what they do. Nova seems to have an understanding and probably considers them friends. This is probably why he goes out on a limb by asking him something that only he could possibly know. I’m not going to spoil the end, but it’s sure to make for a good future Nova storyline!

Mark Waid (writer) has penned an excellent story. I have really enjoyed the newest volume of Nova and really liked how the story unfolded. Jim Cheung (Pencils & inks), Paco Medina (pencils), Mark Morales, Guillermo Ortego, Dave Meikis, Juan Vlasco (all inks) have put together an outstanding looking issue. I especially liked the multi-verse panels. This is just the beginning folks as the mystery behind Uatu’s death approaches in the pages of Original Sin #1, due to hit shelves May 7th. This looks to be a must read event as other secrets of the Marvel Universe will surface, changing many for the foreseeable future! So head on over to your local comic shop and grab your copy today!
