>What is this storytime series all about?
Everyday for the month of June 2016 (the rare 616 Month), commemorating the 55th anniversary of Marvel Comics, I storytime certain old Earth-616 Marvel Comics issues on their anniversary/if there's pottery when their respective release dates and volume & issue numbers align. Watch out for the appearances of the numbers 6, 1, and 6, in that order.
>For what purpose?
Milestone celebrations of Earth-616, Universe-7 (the mainstream Marvel Universe before the 2015 event "Secret Wars").
>Where do I find previous storytimes in this series?

>And today I storytime...
40th anniversary of the comic book debut of The Man Called DICK RIDER, /co/'s REVERED COSMIC MARVEL SUPERHERO!
TOMORROW IS 616 DAY!

Richard Rider was my favorite attempt to redo Spider-Man, until Kamala Khan. He's still one of my favorite Marvel characters. Naturally, Marvel killed him off in the stupidest way possible.
...
Still, glad I own the 3 volumes of Classic Nova in trade and "don't own" the entire first volume in digital.
>Nova's 40th anniversary is this year
>He probably won't even get mentioned
>Sam will continue to plummet in sales, probably sitting at 10k by the end of the summer
>Marvel sees nothing wrong with this
