Hey there, Doug!
That would be a reasonable theory as to how there is a new Nova Corps all of a sudden. Best of all, WM may be the reason Rich may possibly be back, as well as Quill. I don't think DnA would have just left Rich, Quill and Thanos out to dry like that so I did like that pretty much left thier fate open until Marvel decides what to do next with them. Not sure how far the Point One Sam Nova thing was thought out in the long run. To me it seems its just to draw in as much younger fans with the new kid as quick as possible. That's cool that the interest in "Nova" is there. The new Marvel Alliance game that has Annihilation Rich seems to have proven that! But why go all out for this Sam kid and diss Rich all of a sudden? From a business standpoint I can see how its all about the "whole new fresh, hip, and bold" direction many brands go through every 10 years or so. Now that you mentioned them, I did see some things I didn't spot right away in Point One, especially the link with Saal's colors and Sam's uniform. I do hope most of your theory pulls through and WM does somehow bring back Rich and Quill! I like Immonen's art and his take on Sam is much better than McGuinness'. I like McG's artstyle on many of his work but Sam Nova didn't do it for me much.

: Hi, Wil!
:
: I'm just making a guess but I'm thinking
: that the Point One Nova is tied to
: SuperNova. It may be that Garthan Saal (with
: Rich out of the picture) is manipulating the
: hibernating WorldMind to create his own Nova
: Corps for his own purposes. And look at the
: back of the Point One Nova's helmet in Point
: One (which is the same purple color as
: Saal's, not the normal Nova Corps gold). It
: looks to me like there's some kind of
: port/jack in the back of the helmet.

: If Saal doesn't have access to the WM, he
: could be powering up people through a helmet
: port. That could mean the WM itself will
: bring Rich back to stop Saal.

: Ehhh, it'll be cool for the young kids but
: Richard Rider is to the Nova Corps as Hal
: Jordan is to the Green Lantern Corps. Sam is
: wearing the exact same uniform in Point One
: so its gotta be this new kid as well in the
: Regular Marvel U. Sucks that Loeb and Joe Q
: went with this instead of bringing back Rich
: and Peter Quill. How is there a Nova Corps
: when Rich is in the Cancerverse? All the
: Corps members were de-powered...unless there
: is a new power source and Worldmind we are
: supposed to just accept and go with it? More
: will be explained but I just don't buy that
: Rich and Peter are really gone.
