: Hey Avon..your not a bad guy..nor is scott.
:
: I don't mean to say I am a bigger fan of
: comics or truer Nova fan. I respect the guys
: who like Sam in many ways, though it's not a
: uniform bunch...just like Rich fans.
:
: What is useless is that Marvel insists for
: Sam to exist Rich needs to be dead. That
: splits us all and I think we all need to put
: pressure on Marvel to let them know this is
: STILL not ok.

: Thanos,
:
: I have no problem being called out or having
: a discussion. You just don't have to be so
: aggressive. Your last response was great...
: I see your opinion much more clearly and I
: appreciate that much more than us engaging
: in heated dialogue.
:
: Just to clarify, I DO want Rich back. If
: marvel were to give Rich his own Nova Prime
: title, I would be ecstatic. I would
: definitely read.
:
: I think that you are more of a fan of comics
: than I am. I enjoy reading them for the
: escape from the day-to-day that they
: provide, but I'm new to the game...(started
: with Annihilation) Currently I read when I
: can or when I get the itch, but it's not too
: often.
:
: With that said, I hope Rich returns for
: hardcore fans like yourself, and so that I
: can get some good Nova to read as well.

: Those feelings on Marvel mothballing the
: property becuase it lacks sales is a an
: argument for threee years ago...not now.
: Look, in regards to Vol. 6 potential sales,
: theres not going to be much to debate. This
: current volume will not last long, so if
: your thinking otherwise, you should start to
: prepare yourself.
:
: There is no real Nova Corps Brand. There
: could be one day...but Marvel has botched
: that for years. (since 2010)
:
: It was Rich Rider for 36 years. Without
: him...without Marv creating him... there
: would be nothing. He wasnt always a
: hit...but this property would be in the
: dumpster if it werent for Rich Rider.
:
: To some extent, you could argue Sam is
: (most) the brand right now. 75% of the Rider
: fans have been driven off and don't buy the
: book or support the character, so the Nova
: name doesnt equate to Rich.
:
: Still, we see with this Jesse doppleganger,
: Marvel wants to splash "him" on
: covers looking and acting exactly like
: Rider. Marvel wants splash Rider on Variant
: covers...all in order to trick some of those
: RIder fans driven off by this mess to
: "come back".
:
: Listen I know guys like you and Scott can
: literally not engage in any
: confrontation/debate on this subject with
: out feeling "hurt" or
: marginalized.
:
: I'm telling you you're wrong. I'm telling
: you I personally have no use for your
: viewpoint that wants to keep rich in the
: grave. It's my opinion. Your welcome to have
: your views as well. Get over it.
:
: BTW Scott there are hundreds of fans with
: me. This is not the only community out
: there. We are pretty strong. Read the
: comments on ANY Newsarama promo stuff for a
: Ryan interview or Nova Vol.6 story...Rich
: fans everywhere who want him back.
:
: I can deal with a lot of viewpoints, but I
: can't deal with the "keep Rich
: dead" call. To heck with that. You can
: have that viewpoint if you want..share it
: with others etc.. but don't expect me to not
: call you or scott out on that when it rears
: its head.
:
: I have an opinion too, and my opinion is you
: are wrong.
:
: I don't want to be like that..to churn up
: the mud here...but I'm not going let that
: "Keep Rider Dead" stuff spout off
: without a counter point. This board was
: started becuase of Rich back in the day...so
: was NPP..its been five years since he was
: killed off and defeated attitudes undermine
: everything.
:
: That being said, this is not my board.
: Darren and Doug mod it and call the shots on
: the CoC. If i violate anything by calling
: you out or disagreeing...I can't do much
: about it.
:
: I'm just not sure why you would have
: expected to call out Richard Rider fans and
: not get some push back.
:

: Well thanks Scott. Didn't think I'd garner
: that type of response. But others here have
: taken this issue to a whole new level.
:
: Whatever floats his boat! Same can be said
: about my dine-drinking friend. Relaaaaxxx
: guys.
:
: In MY opinion... Not yours thanos... I
: believe that being a real nova fan is
: supporting the brand. What if Sam gets
: cancelled and Marvel is like "Whelp, we
: don't need Nova anyway... Guardians and Capt
: Marvel can carry our cosmic brand"?
: Then what? No Nova at all. We aren't talking
: about a character with the following of say
: Rich's DC counterpart. With that said, you
: must not be a true Nova fan thanos.

: There you go again Thanos, being
: disrespectful
: to other members of the community.
:
: I would counter that you are exactly the
: sort of fan that we don't need. One who is
: intolerant of other viewpoints.
:
: Give it a rest. This guy stated his view in
: a nice and polite way and he doesn't need to
: be belittled.
:
: You are complaining about hurting the
: feelings of old fans and in the same post
: are ragging on other types of fans.
:
: Honestly, give it up. There is PLENTY of
: room for Nova fans who are
: Richard-Nova-or-No-Nova and there is PLENTY
: of room for
: Hey-I-Think-Sam-Could-Be-A-Good-Nova.
:
: Both points of view are equally valid.

: You say you love "Nova" but are
: cool
: with the real Nova being dead for 5 years?
:
: There are characters I dont even like that I
: want (and root for) to come back, just
: becuase its not fair to their old core fans.
: Frankly, your the kinda Nova fan I have no
: use for and find disturbing. We can all get
: along and have a solution that makes
: everyone happy if we pressure
: Marvel...together.
:
: Folks like you arent interested in the
: feelings of the old core fans. Your self
: centered...unlike the growing number of Sam
: fans who agree that the best answer is not
: to forget the past, but embrace it and all
: move on together.
:
: A "badass" Sam is not going to
: happen...at that point he ceases to be what
: he was intended for...IE comic releif
: huckster who bumbles his way through
: misadventures.
:
: Marvel's support for Sam Alexander is
: waning. This series is utterly phoned in ,
: geting terrible reviews, and by a writer who
: was just kicked off his DC title.
:
: LOL he doesnt even get what happned in VOl.
: 5 and isnt going to follow through with the
: storylines from that? You gotta be kidding
: me.
:
: There is lierally no hook to this new
: series. It will go 8 issues max.

: Been a while since I've posted here last, so
: hello everyone.
:
: It really does suck that Rich is essentially
: no more. However, the idea of resetting the
: character is growing on me....as long as it
: is done well.
:
: Eventually, (hopefully) Sam will turn into
: the bada$$ we saw Rich become in
: Annihilation. He is learning and growing as
: an Avenger. I think Marvel likes the
: character, but wanted to go a different
: route. Just giving it a chance bc I love
: Nova... he just needs to be done right.
:
: It seems as though Marvel likes the
: character and wants it to do well... New
: Series with is dad, IG, Nova on Disney's
: Spiderman, my question is why don't they
: incorporate him more into their extremely
: popular mobile gaming? They have a ton of
: mobile games and he is currently available
: in 1 of them. Not a huge issue, but if they
: really want to put him out there, wouldn't
: you expect him to get some face time?
:
: --Previous Message--
: Had a chance to flip through it recently.
: Yeah, Ssm Alexander is The Human
: Rocket"...that's Marvel big slap in the
: face of Richard Rider fans. That's how I am
: taking and interpreting this new series. Has
: Marvel ever given Miles Morales the
: "Your Friendly Neighborhood
: Spider-Man", or "The Amazing
: Spider-Man" monikers?
: I was never going to buy or pay money for
: this issue but taking Rider's "Human
: Rocket" title and giving it to Sam like
: its no big deal just gets a very bad vibe
: from me. Sorry, but even if this is Marvel's
: attempt to steer the Sam character in a
: better light with a brand new #1, I and many
: other Classic Nova fans may never truly
: accept the current character that
: conveniently calls himself "Nova".
: Not while Marvel downplays cosmic events
: like Annihilation like it was no big deal,
: and continues belittle many Rider fans in
: subtle and not-so subtle ways.

: I know this is off your topic but it's on
: top
: with Issue 1,
:
: I really enjoyed reading this issue. It gave
: me the same vibe from when I read the 1st
: issues from Classic Nova Vol 1.
:
: The way Sam interacted with his class mates
: reminded me of Rich's interactions with
: Bernie and Caps.
:
: --Previous Message--
: So some of my speculations have been
: confirmed.
: - The voice in the last two panels, either
: Worldmind is back or he built another
: computer. Maybe Jesse might be (last)
: Xandarian, possibly from Engineer caste or
: Nova Corps' expectations for its members to
: maintain their equipment.
: - Either Sam's helmet is allowing him to get
: less sleep or he might be part alien with
: "space physiology" (maybe Kaelynn
: is too young to properly show up). Note that
: only Kaelynn and Sam are able to use the
: helmet and possibly Nova force sliver
: (depends how much of ordinary Xandarians are
: exposed to Worldmind's energy) might play a
: role.
: Well, I kinda make this thread on whether my
: theories are becoming true.
