: Bendis said in an interview that he had this
: story planned since before NINO was even
: announced. Maybe he's telling the truth -
: maybe not. If he is, you can bet that all
: of us are putting in a lot more thought into
: how Rich might be alive and could come back
: than he did. At the time NINO was planned,
: Rich was discarded by Marvel Editorial,
: declared dead (rather than just temporarily
: marooned as DnA planned), and NINO was to be
: his REPLACEMENT. Emphasis on REPLACEMENT.
: As in Hal Jordan REPLACING Alan Scott - not
: just as Kyle Rayner keeping the uniform warm
: for a decade until a better writer brought
: the better GL back. I see no evidence that
: the thinking at Marvel Editorial has
: changed. Bendis is likely to just tell a
: story of how Rich bravely sacrificied
: himself. I think Rich being brought back to
: the 616 in any satisfying way is unlikely as
: long as NINO is still around and they're
: trying desperately to turn NINO into a huge
: moneymaking success with all the promo,
: variants, crossovers, guest stars, specials,
: etc. (everything Rich DIDN'T RECEIVE). Loeb
: obviously wants to make NINO into a Disney
: kiddie movie and he's going to try
: everything to sell NINO to make that happen.
: The only way we see Rich coming back in any
: satisfying way is for NINO to fail miserably
: - as in sales falling from 21K to 15K - AND
: for the GotG movie to be a raging success
: causing Marvel to expand cosmic and
: capitalize on the appearance of the Nova
: Corps in the film.

: Maybe..getting Rich back is too good to be
: true! I think RIder wuld have been a bit
: more responsible than to let a 15 get ahold
: of a helmet that gives out near prime type
: powers.
:
: wow they are pimping Sam this summer! I wish
: Rider got one shot bonus books with Xmen and
: Iron Man or being on the cover of all these
: bonus marvel books.

: I think that you are really looking to much
: into what Cosmo said. I believe he was just
: merely stating that he missed Rich.

: Its possible...the Saal appeareance w/
: Tarcel
: was never explained..could have gone a
: million ways and even just been a
: hallucination of a dying or dead tarcel.
:
: I still think Rich as Jesse lines up
: easier...and the biggest piece of evidence
: was when Cosmo flat out basically said Rich
: was Jesse in fairly plain terms.
:
: I did have some crazy idea that maybe the
: whole Alexanders were elements of WOrldmind.
:
: I'm excited to see the secret of the Black
: Nova Corps though.

: True. However, what if the Saal that
: appeared
: to Malik Tarcel wasn't the real Saal but was
: the avatar/brain pattern of Saal that had
: been in the WorldMind (like Ko-Rel's).
:
: Saal's pattern would have been the avatar of
: the corrupted portion of the WorldMind that
: was removed at the end of #25 and replaced
: with Ko-Rel's.

: There is one thing you've forgotten - Saal's
: appearance in Nova 29 when he encountered
: Malic Tarcel during War of Kings. Even so
: there's no reason if the regular Nova Corps
: would mention the existence of a black-op's
: version.The main thing is are current
: creators taking past continuity into account
: anyways - so assuming they aren't - Sam has
: to get his power somewhere and if not from
: the Worldmind (which was supposed to be shut
: down after TTI) then yes its plausible Saal
: could be an alternate source.
