Of course Hal eventually returend to the spotlight, after a stint of being a villain, and both chracters have been key to DC more "superior" cosmic side while Marvel's has sadly fallen with the exception of Guardians 3000. As seen with those signing the Ipetiton at NPP, its clear fans can support the idea of having 2 or more Nova titles - just as Green Lantern Coprs have had over the years; Marvel however can't seem to grasp the logic; at the moment churning out one title for every Guardian of the Galaxy member which is serious overkill!
I think Dustin Weaver's take on the Nova mythos will be a bit better; its got the post apocalyptic style and settign I like so i'm looking forward to seeing as its only one of 3 titles - plus the main series of Secret Wars I've added to my present diminishing Marvel pull list.
For now, Rich himself remains in the realms of limbo in the MU, what happens after SW could unfortunately seal his fate for good but hey there's always some clever bloke that can figure means to bring him back if Marvel decided to give him another go. Meanwhile fans will keep him active in fan fics and art - so look out for a new run of Nova619 soon!
