Those don't sound like the words of someone trying to reconcile with the Rider Nova fans. Bendis is going to give Rich what he thinks is a "hero's death" - and then when we all complain, we'll be told we're just a bunch of crybaby fan boys and to suck it up and be glad they gave us one more Rider Nova story. Sound like something Wacker would say? Yup. That's the attitude of all of them. Much as I dislike Wacker, at least he was honest about his disdain for fans. Bendis is so disingenuous that he's already trying to re-direct the upcoming fan outrage at DnA!

: That's plain crap! BMB knows full well Dna did
: not plan to kill Rich off at the end of TTI;
: that was Marvel's mandate on the part of
: incoming Editorial to bring in a new
: direction - i.e Sam Alexander - and ditch
: the old status quo in favor of a far
: inferior one. And part of the new status quo
: was BMB -and his insistence to write GOTG.
: Of course it could be smokescreen - just
: enraging the Rider fan base to fa the flames
: to get us hyped for his arc but believe me
: folks - if things don't go well by the end
: of this OS ARC - I'll be having words with
: Nova64 to make a few changes...

: "Speaking of new readers, I imagine
: Richard Rider's very vocal fanbase will be
: interested in this story and might be
: picking up "Guardians of the
: Galaxy" for the first time because of
: it. Anything you want to say to this group
: of fans?
:
: It's funny, there are some die-hard and
: hardcore fans of DnA, god bless 'em, and
: already they're mad at me for what I've
: done. I understand loving a book's creative
: team, but they killed him. I'll take the hit
: for the stuff I've done. I've done plenty.
: You still want to yell at me for Hawkeye?
: I'll take it. I got it. I didn't kill any of
: the Guardians though!

: DnA killed those characters. They wouldn't
: even be around if it wasn't for us bringing
: them back. So you can get off my ass a
: little bit on this one. [Laughs]
:
: There would be no more Richard Rider stories
: at all if I wasn't writing one. So I don't
: know how else to put it. This one is not on
: me. I understand you have an affection for
: DnA, but you can't pretend they didn't write
: that part that you're mad about. It's OK to
: love and be frustrated by the work of
: creators, I do that to people all the time,
: but that's their thing. I've got my own
: stuff. I've got people mad at me that
: there's no Peter Parker in the Ultimate
: Universe. They don't know what to do with
: me. I own that, but I'm not wearing their
: sins too."
