Marvel is counting on us being so desperate for something/anything featuring Rich that we'll accept him back in any form including as a ghost WM avatar sidekick to "banned acronym." This is just a way to attempt to legitimize "banned acronym" with the majority of Rider fans who have pretty soundly rejected "banned acronym." Marvel has finally realized that they can't make a Nova book work without us, but they still think we're zombie buyers and will buy anything that has Rich featured in it sometimes no matter in what role. As for "banned acronym," 14K in sales after 10 issues says it all. "Banned acronym" is a failure despite all of Marvel's attempts to polish the turd of a concept that it is. I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't be so desperate for something/ANYTHING featuring Rich that you'll settle for sub-par trash or bringing him back as subordinate to "banned acronym." That is offensive on every possible level. This new book's solicit makes it clear that the book is primarily about "banned acronym" - so if Rich appears at all, it'll be in a subordinate role. That is unacceptable to me. I won't buy it and I'll encourage a continuation of the boycott. Probably the rumors about a New Warriors farcical comedy TV show under development are true and this is an attempt to cash in by turning the concepts into campy farce even more than they've been so turned by "banned acronym" already.

: Exaxtly well said Thanos! There is absolutely
: no harm whatsoever checking this title out.
: If the information isn't to your liking - if
: the art isn't to your liking - or the
: direction etc then ultimately you don't buy
: it or pull on your list. The problem with an
: approach like Timelord's is that he's so
: paranoid that even the slightest hint of any
: Rich Rider fan deciding - let alone buying a
: title with He Whose Acroynm Gives Him The
: Heebie Jeebies (here in referred to as
: HWAGHTHJ Syndrome) is quickly considered a
: betrayal - I noted just yesterday one fan at
: Cosmic Book News form asked him and one
: other certain "die-hard" to chill
: and just be slightly realistic and in return
: the poster, a semi regular was promptly told
: shut up or be considered a troll and be
: banned - and they have the gall to say I'm
: over the top when I ban them from here for
: being rude and inconsiderate to other NMB
: posters. I had though we'd got over this
: sillyness but it seems some folks can't or
: don't want to change.
:
: But back to the matter in hand - check the
: issue out, check the info and the concept
: and then make your mind up if its worth
: supporting or not - but don't just ban it
: without giving it a shot.

: I think it is safe to check it out. Really,
: we
: wanted RR back and if that is the case, i'll
: give this a shot.TL very few of us thought
: Sam would not be involed in this book at
: such an early stage. SInce it was announced
: in said "dark back room" it was
: touted as a RR and Sam book.
:
: I need promo art. I need interviews. I need
: more to say for sure that this is crap. I'm
: not saying your a fool for thinking that
: way...but I'm just not there yet, despite
: the insanity of crap all around Marvel these
: days.
:
: I made the point awhile back that, despite
: how screwed over we've been, to some extent
: we need to be flexible. Whether that means
: putting Sam in the book or being open to
: something that may be a new take...I just
: don't want to be like those ROM fans who
: literally before issue # 1 hit the stands ,
: hated the new IDW book simply becuase of
: minor nuances of ROM's look.
:
: I dont want to be the sereotype of
: "never satisfied fan"
:
: That being said Marvel needs to get their
: act together. We can argue about it or not
: but this book is already doomed with such a
: lower end creative team. That's so huge
: right now....and this won't be enough to
: generate sales whoever the hell the book is
: about.

: Wait and see isn't necessary for anyone

: misadventures of "banned acronym."
: Continue the boycott and let's drive this

: cancellation before Issue #10.

: I don't think we're going to get a
: "straight-forward" Nova series
: this time. It might turn out to be very
: experimental - esp if Classified turns out
: to be Rich - or something else!
:
: I'm still in the "wait and see
: camp" but I do think considering the
: calibre of the writer assigned its unlikely
: we'll get an Annihilation style book = those
: days are sadly far behind now.
:
: I very much expect however those folks at
: Cosmic Book News will consider this a
: diaster waiting to happen without even
: bothering to see how the first few issues
: develop or even when we get some actual
: bona-fide info on what the actual direction
: will be. Oh - wait - they already have
: turned up at NMB and done exactly that. How
: predictable! And now they'll scuttle back to
: CBN and report how sarcastic this comment
: is!
:
: Either way I think this series may well make
: or break the whole Nova concept once and for
: all - cause in the end whatever new series
: comes along - be it feature Rich or Sam it
: will never satisfy every Nova fan's
: expectations of what a "perfect"
: Nova comic is.
:
: Of course when it comes to fan produced Nova
: - that's a different ball game... I have a
: little announcement on Friday that may
: interest some!

: Looks like it. Too bad. This whole era of
: Marvel is a total waste. I wonder sometimes
: what the TPTB at Marvel are still doing
: there, it's obvious at this point that they
: pretty much hate what they're doing and
: comics and the fans in general. Why prolong
: the pain, quit and let someone who cares

: Like I said, bait and switch. This isn't a
: book about Rich. It's yet ANOTHER
: re-launch/re-boot of the failed, deplorable,
: "banned acronym" experiment - this
: time from a comedy writer. Marvel is really
: plumbing the depths this time. Now they're
: trying to cross Deadpool with "banned
: acronym" and the result will be even
: more disgusting and absurd than "banned
: acronym's" books have been thus far. I
: really hope that this is a true bait and
: switch and Rich is just left
: "dead" until "banned
: acronym," Brevoort, Alonso, Bendis, and
: Loeb are just bad memories - and a new crop
: of leaders/writers come to Marvel who will
: bring back a quality Nova product rather
: than this "banned acronym" trash.
: All true fans of Rich - continue the boycott
: and let's make sure this 3rd "banned
: acronym" re-launch makes it to fewer
: than the 11 issues it made it to this time.
