Maybe they'll sell well together?

>>84712188
That's all the big two do

Renew your Vows ongoing is Lois and Clark, and Superwoman is Jane Foster.

>>84712095
Don't get excited until they reveal the creative team, it could be Bendis and Deodato for all we know

>>84712188
Marvel ripping off DC? This is completely unheard pf.

>>84712095
Wow, maybe now both of Dick Rider's fans will stop whining.

Brevoort BTFO

>>84712285
Deodato is doing Thanos.

>>84712297
Riderfags will never stop whining.

>>84712245
Richard sold a lot better than Sam ever did.
His last run that lasted nearly 40 issues never left the top 100 sales chart.

>>84712095
Sale should be alright if big name. Bendis and slott have too much on their plate now. So...I dunno who it could be that's writing this....

>>84712551
Ewing?

It's time for the new LOW. RECORD. NOVA. in sales featuring Dick Rider. Prepare to soon start laughing of shitheads like this one >>84712443 for having made fun of Sam.

Hell, I'm gonna start researching the Nova numbers for the comparison day one.

>>84712672
Soule was the main guy I was thinking of.
>>84712701
Welp, I'll just keep making fun of Sam now for his record low sales. 15k. Richard never did that poorly. Sam is the worst selling Nova of all time.

>>84712285
Just don't give me Hopeless or Bendis. I'd take Wells or Ewing. I hope Dan Abnett has enough room on his schedule to do this.

>>84712297
Haha oh wow. Nah son. Now they'll just bitch that Sam is hogging screentime and when the sales start to fail blame it on him.

>>84712813

Is Half-Life 3 confirmed as well?

>>84712848
If there is a god he will.

>>84712672
Waid and Conway. I'd say Duggan has reached that point.

>>84712906
Abnett is DC exclusive now.
Maybe they can convince Lanning to come back.

>>84712297
Go home, Brevoort.

>>84712806
>Richard never did that poorly.
until NOW!

>>84712805
I'm sure him and Jeph Loeb are doing everything they can to make sure Hopeless and Ramos land this book.

>>84712799
He also said big

Those are the biggest names marvel has

That's why they're all writing like 3-5+ books each

>>84712623
Please, be PAD...he could do wonders with Richard, I reckon.

>>84713030
We'll just have to wait and see, but given Sam's horrible sale's record, he'll definitely be the scapegoat if things go south.
I'm betting mid 20k's on this book.

>>84712095
So it wasn't an event? I knew the whole last Guardians arc was just to play with fans hopes.

Hoping for Ewing, but with my luck it will probably be Bendis.

>>84712903
Bendis is the biggest name Marvel has, anon

They wish he were Johns' level of big, but he'll never be

>>84712095
Richard as Nova Prime was my first superhero, so i'm hyped, sorry /co/, can't play the tough guy today.

>>84713210
He better not be missing any limbs or talking about fucking doors.

The fact that it's out in November and there's still no creative team attached is a little concerning.

>>84712095

Thank god. I hope they make Rich a proper mentor for Sam. This kid is suffering out there.

Loeb and Brevoort are going to make DAMN sure this fails as hard as it possibly could.

>>84713625
Loeb is too busy with the TV division, but Brevoort might.

Anyway, I'm happy Rich is coming back. Now we only need Bendis to fuck off from Guardians to wrap up everything.

Who will make Cosmic Marvel great again?

>>84713625
Someone should message him on tumblr and ask him how he plans on sabotaging Richard.

>>84712969
Does Lanning even write comics still.

>>84713049

Ramos is on Champions now and he's good artist.

>>84713700
Sam is his creation, I'm sure he'll take steps to make sure he remains the only Nova.
>>84713739
I have no clue what he does anymore.

>>84713767
>and he's good artist.
Bait

>>84713780

I don't understand why Marvel is so blind to the fact that absolutely fucking no one gives even a single shit about Sam but Loeb.

>>84713700
Hey hey now don't get to ahead of yourself here. The Guardians will continue to be shit as long as the movies keep going. Bendis is hardly the only problem.

>>84713822
>everything is mcu's fault
I want this meme to end.

I'm not a big Nova fan but a lot of my friends who are are really excited about this so I'm happy for you guys.

>>84713802
They spent a lot of money on Sam.
They put him in cartoons, video games, tons of cross overs and events, and gave him a few action figures. They genuinely thought he was going to be huge.
Nobody cared about any of this shit, but after all that effort, do you think they'd quit so easily?

>>84712969
>>84712906
>Abnett
>good
He was the weak link of the duo and it showed in Guardians 3000.

>>84713869
There's still a lot of things that need to be detailed, like who the creative team is and how many limbs Richard will have. It's sad that this is an actual concern, but that's the world we live in where Bendis can do whatever he wants.

>>84713700
Ewing.

>>84713880

Maybe it would have gone over better if Sam was anything more than Loeb's dead son.

>>84713625
Why? Brevoort likes Rich, he just hates his fans (for good reason, they're heinous and I regret ever counting myself among their number).

Or are you not aware that the only reason Annihilation and the DnA Nova ongoing even happened was because of Brevoort backing the project?

>>84713965
He is pretty cute but the stench of that is probably what kept him from catching on

>>84713965
I think it would have gone better if Richard and Sam were allowed to coexist. Miles and Peter can, and so do Kamala and Carol.
It's too late for Marvel to change people's opinion on Sam, though. Years of aggressively pushing him for almost no results led to this.

>>84713802
Fuck you, I love Sam. He's a great character, and having a Sam + Rich team-up book is like a dream come true assuming the creative team is good.

>>84713965
Ironically, Sam became literal sales cancer.

>>84714082
Get out, Jeph.

>>84712095
>It will feature both Sam Alexander and Richard Rider in it…
FUCK OFF. I refuse to buy this book until Sam has been given cancer and killed off permanently. He's a stain on the legacy of Nova that not only shouldn't exist but should be striked from the records. There's literally no excuse for this.

>>84714186
I was really hoping Sam would go nowhere near this book, but I really can't say I'm surprised.
Give it some time, though. Sam will be gotten rid of in a year or so after Richard's back.

>>84714186
I wonder if the current legacy characters' popularity will ever fade low enough to get them all killed in an event for pure shock value, and then proceed with whatever corporate meme they come up at the time.

>>84714279
He's selling at 15k right now. I don't know how much lower you have to go to get killed off.

>>84714343
No, I meant the whole concept all-together, like what happened with the edgy rad characters after the 90s.

>>84714279
Sam is definitely unpopular enough for such a thing, but it's unlikely to ever happen while Loeb still has a lot of pull in Marvel.

>>84714386
Does anyone really give a shit about Miles? I'm pretty sure Benis is the only reason why he's still there.

How long until we're free of Sam?

>>84714446
4-6 years.

>>84714423
Out of Sam, Kamala, and himself he sells the best and out of the Spider-Books Peter is the only one who outsells him.

>>84714446
How ever long it takes for Jeph Loeb to retire.

>>84714423
Believe it or not, Miles is actually reasonably popular. I know he gets nothing but hatred around these parts, but outside /co/ he's got plenty of supporters.

Sam, on the other hand, does not.

>>84714446
2 or 3 years. Will he fade into obscurity or go out in a spectacle?

>>84712095

>Dick and Sam

Marvel's really liking the mentor/mentoree dynamic, aren't they? If the rule of three applies, who's next?

I wonder how Rich will react to Peter's abrupt change of personality or if they'll just wave it off like it's nothing.

>>84714639

Except not at all. One is saved from death by her powers, the other ones powers are killing her. One is taking over a hero's spot, another is part of a long tradition of people taking up the Super-mantle.

>>84714950
>One is saved from death by her powers
If you're talking about Whor, those same powers are allowing her cancer to grow further, hence killing her.

>>84714704
Eh, they forget they forget about Peter and Kaine's rapport after months, Rich has been dead for years, they'll act as they are almost strangers.

>>84714704
You do know Marvel retconned so Peter's personality was like the one in the movie since he was a child right?

As a novafag (Novafag, not a richard's cocksucking fan), i'm fucking hyped for this book. I just hope they don't kill it giving a shit creative team. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO THAT.

>>84713854
in the case of the Guardians it's completely true

>>84714704
I wonder how they're gonna approach Rich and Gamora having always loved each other after they broke up.

>>84715208
Can I ride it instead?

>>84715183
Jeph is fighting for either himself or Hopeless to get on this book.
Bendis is a very real possibility too.

>>84715249
Yeah, go cry about your dead husbando. I hope he comes back like a dead helmet so you cannot ride his dick anymore.

>>84715276
This. It's pretty obvious they're just bringing him back to shit on him further before killing him off again.

AW YEAH

Very excited for this. Hopefully it's a good writer.

So if he's coming back, will the Corps come back too?

I liked the Worldmind/new Recruits dynamic at the end of Rider's series.

Where'd Sam's powers come from anyway?

I know Loeb wanted to will super powers into his dying kid, that didn't work, so he made him Nova but is it still gravity based powers even though the power was gone from this universe?

>>84718952

....that is incredibly lazy. His son should come back from the grave and kick his dad in the nuts for that kinda shoddy writing.

I don't think Loeb was part of that one.

>>84714639
It's a great dynamic. I'd much rather have classic and legacy characters coexisting for the mentor dynamic than have either/or.
Most legacies are more fun than their predecessors though especially Sam

>>84720175
Sam is as fun as watching a dumpster fire.

Does anyone have the Classic series from the 70s to download? I have a torrent stuck at 90%. Higher the quality the better. Digital blows jobs to anyone who can help ;)

Probably Marvels best writer who's current duties are cleaning up Bendis' shitshow while respecting and using previous continuity in a successful manner

>>84723560
You lie like the devil. Marvel has a writer like that? I thought everything was 'bend to the Bendis continuity, or else'?

>>84715138
There are worse things than the Rich/Gamora ship. It's not great, but it's not the worst thing I can conceive. At least their sex life will be healthy.

>>84723631
He's bending to Bendis in the sense that he's essentially fixing all the shit he's been doing in Civil War 2 by explaining the plot errors and stuff in his own books that features the main Civil War 2 characters

>>84723631
He is writing New Avengers, Ultimates (which actually fixes plenty of Carol's issues and explains more about why the fuck Thanos had a fucking gun and shit) and also wrote the Contest of Champions comic, which is nothing like the game at all, and brought us back both Ares and Stick.

>Rich shakes his head when he learns another goddamn Civil War happened while he was gone

>>84723707
But can he explain how Ulysses made everyone forget about all the other precogs?

>>84723666
Don't get me wrong, they're an amazingly hot couple, but Marvel seems to be rolling with that thing at the end of Bendis's abomination where Richard said he never stopped loving Gamora.
Richard explained why he broke up with her and had a girlfriend at the time.

- Brian Michael Bendis, the comic book writer.

I'm sad we'll never see another Genis book in our lifetime or until Quesada is dead as he *hates* Genis...

>>84725950
It's fucking amazing to me the contrast Marvel has going on with some of their writers.
Chumps like Bendis see continuity as a hurdle, something they have to deal with or just ignore to tell whatever story it is they want to tell.
And then on the other hand they've got Ewing, a man who fucking loves continuity, and respectfully works it into every story he tells.

>>84726064
I've seen /co/ claim how Ewing has been fixing Bendis continuity multiple times.

Are you trying to make me upset

>>84729042
No, if he really wanted you to have an aneurysm, he'd say
>Nova by Kait Leth

>>84712095
Thus raising the question why they couldn't do that to begin with

>>84729234
They thought Richard would overshadow Sam, which will probably happen, but that they would also get a return investment on Sam alone

>>84728923
I like Hopeless.

But I didn't read Avenger Games.

>>84712095
Watch as it's another Uncanny Avengers and Spiderman. Rich will show up in the first issue, shit all over Sam, then fuck off back to the cancerverse. All you'll be left with is more suffering.

>>84729698
I'd be fine with Rich leaving again after 1 appearance if he cathartically beats Sam into a coma.

>>84729814
And then passes the Worldmind and the rest of the Nova Force onto his brother to continue his work.

That work being the space cop thing, not beating Sam into a coma every few months.

>>84729875
Apparently nobody at Marvel knew he was at PEGASUS, so Robbie is missing.

>>84730208

Wut...

Why not Duggan? He's already on the book.

>>84729204
>Nova by Kait Leth
Still be better than Bendis.

>>84729474
It was awful, anon. Oh god. I have Vietnam flashbacks, and I wasn't even born then.

>>84731454
Leth is just about as bad, but her name isn't big enough to sell like crazy

>>84731629
Yet.

>>84731629
>Leth is just about as bad
Hellcat has been fun. When was the last time you could say the same about any Bendis book?

>>84731781
Civil War 2 can be ironically enjoyed.

>>84714950
Actually both of them are dying from having powers, Jane's chemo goes away every time she goes Thor.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to treat Ryder real well during my next event: Annihilation II.

>>84731817
Dude.

>>84731817

Yeah i think theres a German word for that.... and in no way does it make the goings on good....

>>84731890
Like I said, ironically.

>>84732284
There are better things to like, ironically and unironically.

>Pray for the Jean fans.

>>84712701
Samfags are really butthurt about this, wow.

>>84713893
Fucking Lanning always co-writes with people for a reason and the two stories he has done by himself were mostly dogshit.

Abnett is hit or miss, he always has been.

Also Guardians 3000 was great, Guardians of Infinity was bad though.

>>84723313
JFC you know once fangirls latch onto Rich they will start doing that shit.

>>84714704
Probably won't and honestly I don’t even see writers remembering they used to be friends.

Honestly I hope Rich steers away from the Bendis Guardians.

>>84715262
Richatd is the Dick Rider so he will ride you instead.

>>84725484
Bendis and Slott are some of the biggest names in comics right now, there's not really room for debating that. It doesn't matter how shit they are, people eat it up and their books dominate sales charts, and have done so for a long time now.

You could probably make an argument that Slott is entirely being carried by attachment to the medium's biggest franchise and a bunch of cheap gimmicks, though.

>>84719583
More like big bro Nova, Sam seeing him as a father figure is another thing.

>>84722230
Will Sam stop being sad with Rich coming back.

>>84730235
Duggan's run, Rich's dad tells Sam that Robbie is missing.

I just want Sam to leave earth. What's the point of Nova if he is not in space?

>>84736976
Congrats, you're reverse Bendis.

>>84736260
>Guardians of Infinity was bad though.
Guardians of Infinity was bad because of the terrible back-ups. Otherwise it was all right. Rocket Raccoon actually being a character instead of a catchphrase factory alone was worth it.

>>84712095
Another monkey paw wish. Bueno

>>84737877
>>84737886
>implying Sam wont stay alone until Marvel finally puts him in limbo where he belongs

>>84736223
They're in denial about what this means for Sam.
Everyone can see the writing on the wall for Sam now. Richard coming back spells the end for him, but they genuinely think that Sam has enough popularity to stick around after Richard returns.
That guy you responded to is so retarded, that he thinks it'll be Rich's fault if the boom flops, and not the character who has never been in a successful book. No, Sam appearing in every fucking event doesn't count.

>>84712848
>>84712951
He's already named Dick Rider, how much gayer can Gillen make him?

>>84712095
You know it's kinda ironic that when Miles and Kamala break away from their mentors/idols, Sam gets his

>>84743117
That's because Miles and Kamala are strong enough characters on their own not to need mentorship, at least not constant mentors. Sam is not. He needs a constant something in his stories, if only as a foil, to define him.

But after this latest issue, I wish that would be The Captain, because fuck yeah, The Captain.

>>84741769
Riderfags overstimate Ryder popularity. It's never the fault of Ryder, it's always somebody else fault. You people don't deserve this book. I hope Bendis or Hopeless is the writer, and then I hope it's swallowed by the meme-cosmic.

>>84712095
But i want The Captain to be Sam's mentor

>>84745800
He's more popular than Sam. Sam doesn't deserve shit, but got by for 4 years on abysmal sales.
