You can find the pics from her cover shoot inside.

Used mainly to set-up a series of events leading up to a classic misunderstanding (i.e. an overused comic book staple) and fight between two heroes in next month’s issue, Nova #12 continues Sam‘s adventures in the stars while his family deals with their own troubles on Earth.
After being dismissed by Galactic Kraven (seriously, how else do you describe the guy who hunts super-hero types for sport?), Nova answers a distress call of a Nova spaceship under attack. Despite being creeped-out that the ship is powered by a dead Nova, our hero gives the spaceship a power boost not realizing he’s just helped pirates and slavers avoid capture and continue to sell off their prisoners including the young girl who tricks Sam into helping.
Of course the whole point of this issue is to set-up the supremely ridiculously titled Nova #13NOW (really Marvel?) which will pit Sam against a very angry Beta Ray Bill and teach the young hero that things aren’t always what they seem. For fans.

On the eve of her own adoption, Reddington (James Spader) brings The Cyprus Agency to Lizzie‘s (Megan Boone) attention along with their methods of illegally procuring children (in a bizarre manner) and passing them off to completely unaware new families. The search into the at-first apparently above-board firm, discovers 27 unusual baby adoptions in the last three years that can’t be traced back to any actual births or parents. Further investigation reveals several of the children’s DNA links back to a stable of missing women who the company keeps in induced comas to breed their stock.

Samurai Jack‘s quest to gather the remaining Threads of Time leads the wanderer to a frosty kingdom deep in the mountains ruled over by the tyrannical Queen Krystle whose android warriors capture Samurai Jack and put him to work in the kitchens.
Although I still enjoyed the issue, especially the early scenes recaping the samurai’s journey to find the village deep in the mountainous wilderness, Samurai Jack #4 is by far the weakest issue of the new series complete with a queen who enjoys cake while her peasants starve (and even, unfortunately, at one point utters a trademark phrase causing anyone knowing their French history to groan).
