: Going with Marvel Comics' current direction
: and "logic": Next we'll be told
: that it was Jesse, not Richard Rider,
: retconned as the Gold Dome Nova Corps
: centurion that saved Beta Ray Bill.
: Cray-Cray the Marvel Way if they go ahead
: with that. But, I admit I am curious to
: learn more of Jesse's chalkboard mystery
: plan.

: Jesse needs major work to rectify himself as
: a
: character. First we have to get over what
: doesn’t really make sense about his
: timeline. Speaking here we have some
: indication he had a relationship with Cosmo
: (never been mentioned prior to Vol. 4) And
: definitely some indication he had a
: relationship with Rocket and Gamora (again
: very clunky in terms of how this is
: possible)
:
: Next, we would need more on the black Novas
: and what went on there. What we've gotten so
: far was not delivered well.
:
: Last, we need to understand the clunky
: character issues he had. I mean why did he
: retire from being a super hero? Just because
: he had a family? I mean a lot of superheroes
: have families! What happened to the
: drinking? Why was he so depressed? This also
: kind of conflicts with him allowing Sam to
: superhero around or just leaving the helmet
: not even locked up. (Again, clunky)
:
: Personally, that’s a lot to overcome. If
: marvel wants sort out his character...they
: need to get to work, because for now, he's a
: big monkey on the back in terms of ever even
: swallowing this material...and that even
: includes Sam.
:
: Lastly, I really don’t like the Jesse
: character because he is sorta based on this
: older version of Rich, perhaps sans the
: annihilation experience. He looks like him,
: he acts brash like Rich did, now he is even
: sporting an older Rich Style uniform that
: looks near exactly like his 3rd New Warriors
: Uniform, albeit Denarion rank. As I’ve
: said, an active Jesse in this role just
: makes the reason Rich “needs to be dead” all
: the more hollow and silly. In fact, I think
: this is so clunky, I am still convinced
: Jesse will be revealed to be some time flung
: version of Richard Rider.
:
: We will see what marvel does. As always, I
: have a feeling we will be very disappointed
: with where it goes...

: Well, I am imagining like a flashback on his
: days as a Nova, and possibly revealing that
: he's a Xandarian in his cadet days (and
: crashlanded on Earth and fell in love with
: Eva) that would make Sam as "first
: human hybrid who is both colored and had
: married parents (see Hulkling and Peter Quil
: who are both white and illegitimate child,
: though the former is green from Skrull
: heritage). Would be interesting if Grandma
: Alexander turned out to be a pissed-off
: Centurion and would get her equipment looted
: for Jesse's Nova costume.

: Picture for Nova #2 shows Sam and a dude in
: an Rider-style uniform.
:
: Synopsis is that it is Sam and Jesse.
:
: So effectively, this is a continuation of
: the cancelled Sam Alexander run.
:
: I am not sure I am up for that. I'll
: probably pick up the first one or two to
: see. But I was let down by the last run.
