Nova & Star-Lord being two different flavors of tragic veterans under Abnett & Lanning really sticks with me.
Pete’s been serving for so long that all the hard stuff is commonplace, but he’s tired and desperate for an ending. Rich had enough really bad shellshocks and was forced to change so fast it isolated him from almost everyone he knew.
Both of them only find community amongst their fellow soldiers against Annihilation.

“My dear Commissioner… I can only pray that you read this statement of mine safe in the knowledge that this strange case is closed forever…
“I affirm that my only intent had been to heal poor Harvey and restore to us the good, true man we all knew. The distillation I made to this end had wondrous powers, but I should have never tested it on myself… for it polarized the extremes of my nature, extremes that usually held each other in check.
“At first, my good self was brought forth, strong and vigorous and upright. But just as night follows day, the evil matter of my soul was able to manifest itself, pure and foul and unrestrained. The Bat-Man… the Joker… good and evil… two sides of a human coin. This is what my potion created.
“For Harvey, already split, I am sure it will be a genuine cure. But for a normal, balanced man… James, I pray that you and God will forgive me.
“Bruce Wayne, Gotham,
Anno Domini 1886.”
From Batman: Two Faces (1998), written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, art by Anthony Williams and Tom Palmer.

Your name is Richard Rider, Nova.
After years away from Earth, your birth family and the friends you knew, you return to find the Avengers caused a superhero civil war, and you feel despair and alienation because the cultural changes resulting of it (and other things.)
You, already suffering from PTSD and Suvivors Guilt, can't find home where there should be.
............
This has Happened to you TWICE!

The guardians of the galaxy are the most successful thing to come out of the MCU. Their movies are consistently topping rankings, gotg3 was the only good MCU thing this year, and they went from obscurity to household names. Which is why it's so funny that they have like... two good comic runs. And one of them was from before they came to the mcu. And they're basically unrecognisable when compared to the mcu versions.

One of the biggest brain decisions I’ve seen in an early 2000s DC comic is having the Legion of Super-Heroes take on Ra’s Al Ghul.
Like… of course he’d still be around & plotting a thousand years from now, and have THOUGHTS on how the world progressed.
