I never thought this was about who got the "credit" or CBN versus NMB or whatever blog. It was about bringing back Richard Rider after 6 damn years.
I said it many times. CBN did well with speaking their mind and taking that hit from Marvel to voice their support for Rider. I applaud them for that and did so at the time.
With this new attitude, I'm not so sure it was even about that for them though.
When Rider has a new series and is back and CBN calls to boycott it, they jeopardize the future of the character we fought so hard to see get revived.
The hook for this series is "Richard Rider returns" and if that doesn't sell, we may be screwed.
Like I said, all things considered you undo what good you did by setting this series up for failure before we even read a page.
I’m gonna just defer on the Quasar stuff. As if what happened with Sam compares at all to Phyla-Vell or Quasar. Phyla never even got a series. I love quasar and fans did great supporting him, but that’s delusional, especially where the character is right now. Again, insults Nova fans…true colors come out.
