To be fair that's probably on editorial rather than Loveness.

Sam has more game than Peter had at his age

>>90530069
Well, there was an 8-month timeskip after Secret Wars, and from ANAD to NOW 2.0 there's at least 4 months there. So that's a year since Secret Wars, and the gap between Thanos Imperative and Secret Wars should have been at least a year.

>>90530146
>reboot
Not the word you're looking for.

>>90530118
Because he's a dork

>>90530118
Because for once he's written by a good writer, this run is the first time Sam himself has been entertaining

>>90530177
That's some pretty subtle commentary, not in-your-face like most of the times Marvel does it.

>>90530177
Peter had Betty and Liz chasing after his dick when he was Sam's age.

>>90530137
>>90530177
Sam is more like Peter Parker than Marvel wants Miles to be.

And that's why Sam's going to die during "Generations", scripted by Brian Michael Bendis.

>>90530001
So that's almost definitely his mum's razor right?

Never underestimate what a good writer who injects an actual personality into a character can accomplish. In a slightly better world Loveness would take over Champions, too.

>>90530379
"Un demonico" is not a spanish phrase. Demonico is an adjective. Demonio is a noun.
Who is the translator for this comic? every time they speak in spanish it has been wrong.

>>90529857
Oh, shit, thanks OP! I hadn't realised this was out today. You're a good guy/girl/gender-neutral entity!

>>90530092

>>90529960

That said I do vastly prefer the white armor to the movie style look, its just so violently bland.

This is Parker Luck-tier.

>>90530405
She was forgotten during Sean Ryan's run.
Actually, "forgotten" is the wrong word, he didn't read Sam's first run so he was unaware of her existence (and the fact Sam had already gotten Rich's helmet)

>>90530146
Nah, in this case it's a good thing. It lets us pretend that the shitty ass ANAD run doesn't exist and we can go straight from the okay Sam solo to this fantastic one.

You can't be slowed down by the idea of green women.
You'd think she's prolly a mutant, and hey mutants are people too. People with wallets and money.

Really him trying to mug a green woman is a sign of how equal-minded this mugger is.

>>90529857
Ironic that Loeb's run started off with Gamora /ss/ teasing for us, and now this cover.

He didn't want to make the same mistakes his Mom did by dating a Gringo.

>>90530519

She had a negligible cameo sitting next to Sam in class in one issue, but that's it.

>>90530144
it's possible that her only power is being green though, you never know

>>90530527

>Sam mocks Cho behind his back

>>90530409
Actually, "demoniaco", spelled with an "a" is the adjective.

Maybe the "abuela" is a Spaniard from Zaragoza, and she speaks "maño", and that's why she says "demonico" instead of "demonio".

Ok, I know it's not the case, but it's fun.
Probably it was a mix of writer / editor / letterer faults.

Wait how is any of the CANCERVERSE still around?
They killed Mar Vell who was the source/conduit for it.
When he died the connection was severed and they all went away.

>>90530868
Not according to Bendis

>>90530556
Because Bendis referenced the fact that they were fucking so obviously that means that they aren't allowed to fuck anymore.

>>90530212

Fuck Bendis

>>90530868
The Original Sin tie-in for GotG retconned it that once Death returned to 616, the cancerverse went back to normal. All they did was seal off the fault.

>>90530519
I know Marvel Editors are becoming a meme but JESUS CHRIST THIS ACTUALLY HARMS THE POTENTIAL STORY.

>>90530212
Bendis doesn't seem to dislike Sam though

>>90530144
I remember reading an issue not so long ago in which Gamora was escaping from Carol. Anyone knows which book I'm talking about?

>>90530711
Yes, but Rich doesn't know that.

>>90530905
Ah good to know.

>>90529898
Nose ring. Sam is getting blown on the first date.

>>90530941
Bendis' GotG, it presumably takes place after this.

It's an issue in our city as well. They'll beat the crap out of drunk homeless guys and take whatever they have. But another issue we have is homeless people harassing people walking by or trying to get into houses.

>>90531509
The worst in my city is just one homeless guy that everyone in town knows and he just walks around asking for money so he can buy What-a-burger. He's been here since before I was born and I'm 26. It amazes me that he isn't dead.

>>90531509
Your homeless are wierd. Our homeless are usually protected by packs of semi-savage dogs that they co-exist with. Oh, and by skin disease, weapons-grade BO, meth strength and shivs.

>>90530092
The exact same thing happens to me the first time.

Well, without the fire and dead heroes anyway.

>>90531329
I think they want to handle that in Star-Lord's solo, but they would have to stop the memes for a minute in order to do that.

>>90530069
I think she's more upset than suspicious that he didn't tell her he was back.

Pretty sure he wasn't going to tell anyone other than his mother that he was back, Rich doesn't think he has long and he doesn't want people to see what he's become.

>>90531681
She salvaged the date by telling him to just act natural. Also, they're in high school.

>>90531720
Well, Sam's a fucking manlet anyway. It's no surprise that he'd go for a girl who wouldn't make him feel insecure.

This is such a good comic. It's almost shocking when you're stuck in Marvel's constant stream of garbage.

>>90531681
belay that order, Sam. False alarm.

>>90529857
>by reading some good comics, shall we?
OK go ahead and post one.

>>90531718
some people just dont get it.

>>90531718
They're 15, I think.
But maybe they're 16 now, since Sam's mom is speaking about license. I think you americans can drive since you turn 16, right?

>>90531720
Sam has been drawn like a kid since always, I think. Maybe.

I mean: they sometimes joke about him looking like he's eleven or twelve. He's not only short, but boyish.

>>90531794
Permit at 15, license at 16.

>>90531790
This is a good book. So far she's a good character, she's nice. Who gives a fuck what's written on her bag? Freaking out over what's written on character's clothes is /tv/ level of retarded.

>>90531681
Oh god I didn't notice the bag. Even in their one good comic, Marvel is obnoxious.

>>90531964
it seems to only trigger a certain group of people so its not even an issue

>>90531592
I don't think Zdarsky really even cares, he has Peter doing whatever he's doing working at a bar and Duggan obviously is only interested in his Nova family since he's putting them in his GotG title.

At this point Gamora doesn't even know where Quill is and the Guardians are suppose to be broken and mad at each other (for some reason).

You think Gamora is petty enough so she might not tell him about Rich out of spite? Especially since Quill withheld information from her about Rich and recently about Thanos.

Rich sure as hell won't willingly go and tell anyone he knows that he's back.

>>90530868
Bendis fucked everything up in his Avengers Assemble mini when he had the Guardians and Avengers go into the Cancerverse for some sight seeing and then in Original Sin he made it so it didn't implode anymore for some reason.

Loveness is taking everything done so far and working on trying to make a good story out of it.

>>90530495

>>90531987
That "certain group of people" is every self-respecting straight white man.

>>90529898
Sam, you are not the brightest bulb in the box, but i think you can do better.

>>90532149

>>90532149
>straight white man
What? Straight black men, straight asian men and straigh latino men shouldn't care?

I started reading this Nova right after funny panel where Nova is dusgusted by Champions and their sjw crap. Damn, this comic is actually GOOD. How is it happen in current Marvel? How is it interesting even if I haven't read any comics about Richard Rider and, ofc, about Sam who looked like a total cuck before this comic.

>>90532120
I was hoping she'd ask him what REALLY happened and that she never believed a single word of all the bullshit Quill spewed out.
If he really wants to try to move forward with Bendis's epilogue to Thanos Imperative, then there is no way you can spin a good story out of it.

>>90532264
Because Rich is the fucking man.

>>90532264
Because the problem never was "current Marvel", it was the writers.

>>90532149
I think it only triggers idiotic mad people that likes to be offended by a joke.
I dunno.

Comics always leaned on this side. "Overkill" as it may be lately on Marvel's other stuff, this is literally the level of stuff you'd find on other decades when not being overt.

You don't have to be a fan of it - I'm not, but for either kind of ideology really - but you just have to know what you're getting into.

>>90532287
I hope he retcons some shit but it's pretty obvious Loveness is at least moving forward with the Rich was stuck in the Cancerverse for a pretty long time and then came out different thing.

I mean Bendis had him become the door, Duggan had him die in the Cancerverse and float around as pic related, Ryan had him get fused with Worldmind (which I guess now got retconned out unless it's Worldmind who thinks he's Rich now).

I think in issue 6 we are suppose to learn the story of what it is that happened to Rich while he was in the Cancerverse so we will get a definite answer as to what the hell happened to him once and for all.

Thanks Op, this was fun. Haven't read any of the previous Sam books, any of them decent?

>>90532200
>a minority of people
>90% of all comic readers is a minority
lmao, ok shill. This is why Marvel is failing while Rebirth is setting sales records left and right.

>>90532772
Thank god.
I don't want Bendis near of any book with potential to be good.

>>90532947
You say that as if Waid isn't the person behind the trainwreck that is Champions. His Avengers ongoing is decent, but a book about legacies is clearly going to skew more Champions than Avengers.

>>90532923

Sean Ryan's is fucking garbage except for issue 9 which was surprisingly great and the best thing to come out of CWII.

This book is really cute. A shame no one is buying it.

He was in New Warriors, which was short and starred Sam.
Maybe he means that one?

>>90533265
Sweet.

Thanks for sharing, anon.

>>90533262
Oh right, got it mixed up because it set up Yost's New Warriors.

>>90533262
Wells I did read. I thought it was okay to be honest. It helped establish Sam as more down to Earth and a bit more Rich-like in the whole Peter Parker life, what with Loeb's introduction straight going "he's going to join the Avengers!"

>>90533265
That's very neat.

Where is Gamoranon who had a lewd pin up drawn by Ron Lim? I haven't forgotten

>>90529857
I refuse to read this until NINO is killed off and Rich returns to the role of the one and only Nova. Has he been killed off yet or is this still unreadable trash?

>>90530092

>>90533431

>>90533355
I thought all the issues by him were incredibly boring. Nothing happens for most of them and then Kalindra shows up for a really lame fight.

>>90533446
Sam is gonna be devestated when he finds out about Captain Hydra. Then again, I'm sure most heroes will be.

>>90533265
That's pretty effing sweet, I liked it better than the Champions Venomized cover with Sam Venom.

His helmet opening from the sideways makes it more creepy.

>>90533500
Cap was one of the first heroes to actually recognize him and get him in the Avengers though. Shits gonna hit him like a brick.

>>90533500

Yes, when he finally scores

I dont know. we probably gonna have 7 pages while he tries to get it up

>>90530144
Why anyone would fucking do crime in MU NY is beyond me.

>>90530144
So is there any real reason Rich wouldn't want to help Gamora kill Thanos? The dude "died" trying to make sure Thanos could never come back to 616.

>>90534004
His date went well and with Rich encouraging him he'll eventually get there.

Sam getting a QT boyfriend WHEN?

>>90534370
Honestly there is no real good story reason why he wouldn't, also him not having an extreme reaction to Thanos still running around seems weird because it rendered his sacrifice moot (well besides getting Peter and Drax out I guess).

He's avoiding people he knows because of his condition, he probably doesn't want Gamora to hang with him long enough to learn that he's a horrible tentacle Cancer creature.

He's close to revealing it to her but he freaks out when he senses Sam's sister in danger.

is sam 9?

>>90534733
Yeah, I also do think they're drawing him way too small.

>>90529857
thanks for the story time OP

>>90534733
Some artists don't know how to draw teenagers in comics.

Sam almost always gets drawn as a little kid when he's standing next to adult characters.

I guess the cover artists here >>90529857 gave him a proper size.

>>90531987
The reason it's obnoxious is because it's not even reasonable to the character. She doesn't even seem like she should be carrying that bag considering her down to earth personality.

It's not the worst thing ever, but it really is telling of how Marvel operates.

>>90532461
The context of the time of publication needs to be considered.

>>90534943
It's possible to be a feminist without being a raging SJW

>>90534943
It's good characterization. She's a sweet girl using a currently trend to fit in. That's normal at that age. You don't have to make it more than it is unless she actually starts acting like a bitch.

>>90534697
It's pretty annoying how they don't seem interested at all with building up a history between Nova and Thanos, since there is so much to work with now.
Also, for most of this comic Rich feels kinda out of character.

>>90533265
Very cool, Anon. Good job.

>>90535216
Can't make a character who won't be appearing in Disney's Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War have a strong relationship with Thanos, that's just a waste of build-up.

>>90535216
There's really not much history between them though. Thanos killed him in Infinity Gauntlet and they fought in Thanos Imperative, that's the extent of it.

Besides Thanos' only true foils are Marv and Adam. Guys like Rich and Quill are beneath him.

>>90535364
You're a fucking idiot. Read more comics.

>>90535385
>Besides Thanos' only true foils are Marv and Adam.
This kills the Drax.

>>90535411
Learn to comprehend sarcasm, autist.

>>90530177
Man if only real women were like that. Normaly the bein you thing only works, if you are like Ronaldo or movie star.

>>90535364
Which is a real shame since the writers have expressed interest in him and both want him there.
>>90535385
There's definitely a relation there after Thanos Imperative, and not delving into it is a huge fucking waste.

>>90535216
What can he do? He's not in any shape to go after Thanos and it's obvious he doesn't trust himself.

He's also pretty broken and doesn't want people he know to see him in his state, so he's avoiding people he knows although doing a very poor job at it (because if Gamora heard rumors I'm sure the New Warriors and Peter would be aware of it too).

Not to mention we are oversaturated with Thanos shit now.

>>90535418
Thanos riles up Drax but Drax doesn't do much for Thanos, Mar-Vell and Adam have been the only ones to get to him and I guess Gamora but only in the sentimental aspect (as much sentimental that Thanos can get anyway).

>>90535505
Being you is less about working out and more about finding someone who likes you for you (you can fake but that shit always ends up badly), of course if you have a very socially unacceptable behavior or very glaring defect it's going to be harder to find someone.

>>90535418
Thanos has always looked down on Drax. Their relationship is entirely one-sided.

>>90535505
The being you thing works if the real you is an interesting genuine nice guy.

>>90535557
Markus and Mcfeely are comic book nerds and it showed in the Civil War commentary especially when they were giggling about putting Chris in the Nomad outfit.

If for whatever miracle they do decide to do a Nova movie they should get them both to write the script.

>>90535557
>There's definitely a relation there after Thanos Imperative, and not delving into it is a huge fucking waste.

No. Overusint Thanos even further just because he grappled with Rich twice would be a waste.

>>90535447
You're an idiot because your sarcasm makes no sense.

>>90530205
>That's some pretty subtle commentary,
agreed, Bendis should take notes

>>90535628
Thanos is supposed to be dying right now, but Rich has never been afraid of taking on people stronger than him.
The fact that he doesn't give a single shit that Thanos is a live and on Earth is retarded.
Watching Rich trying to fix the biggest mistake he ever made would be a lot more interesting to read.

>>90535735
I wouldn't describe the end to Thanos Imperative as just "grappling"

>>90535923
I'd rather not have my Nova book derailed by another ass-backwards Thanos plot, thanks.

>>90535972
I'd rather not have my Nova book cancelled because of more shit dealing with Sam.

>>90535923
Rich has never been afraid but he's not stupid either even if he jumps at danger.

Like I said what can he do to Thanos? And he doesn't know Thanos is dying.

Besides too much Thanos fatigue and Editorial obviously has other plans for Thanos.

>>90536035
I didn't say I want more Sam, I said I don't want Thanos. Because everything Marvel has done with Thanos since 2011, outside of Starlin's quasi-canon Infinity books, has been fucking retarded. Avengers Assemble was retarded, Infinity was retarded, Thanos Rising was retarded, his part in Avengers and Secret Wars was retarded, and this latest CWII crap and the fallout from it may be the most retarded of all.

I don't see any reason to force Rich into that mess just because of Thanos Imperative.

>>90536035
If this book doesn't sell well no matter how good it is Thanos won't save it.

>>90536179
I think that since we're going on 6 years with no satisfying conclusion to Thanos Imperative we should at least get something.
And just because the other writers who have used him recently sucked at it, doesn't mean Loveness will too. He might, but we won't know until after.

>>90530030
>already has more fanservice than Super shotas

Goddamnit. They need to keep up.

>>90536329

>>90536421
It was left open ended for someone that isn't Bendis to give it a conclusion.

>>90530233
>>90530267

God damn this book is so good

>>90536449

>Let's try and forget about IvX by reading some good comics, shall we?
Yeah, let's.

>>90536525
So, I'm assuming you don't know what open-ended means, then.
>allowing for future changes, revisions, or additions
One of the final pages is Rich and Peter charging at Thanos and all we see it a white flash. There's no actual conclusion to it.

Guys, I'm starting to actually like Sam, what the fuck.

He's starting to feel like classic Peter Parker. He gets shit on 24/7 but damn it he's TRYING and for once that's really endearing instead of pathetic and annoying.

>>90536654
It was left somewhat open-ended because DnA planned to reveal the precise circumstances of their death, but their death wasn't supposed to be ambiguous. That didn't happen obviously, but it doesn't change the fact that Thanos Imperative was the climax and conclusion to their saga and Annihilators the denouement. Do you think Butch Cassidy didn't have a conclusion because we didn't see Butch and Sundance get riddled with bullets?

And anyway, your sentence didn't make sense because "It was left open ended for someone that isn't Bendis to give it a conclusion" implies that there were specific orders to let anyone but Bendis have a crack at it. I know that's not what you meant, but it's poor sentence structure all the same.

>>90532416
>Trump voters when Obamacare is repealed

>>90536933
What I was saying a few posts ago with that is that Bendis shouldn't have written the conclusion.
If you've read the epilogue, you can tell he didn't want to be there, and Marvel should have gotten anyone else to get it done.

Nah, they first started fucking in Annihilation. They also fucked after they settled the whole thing with the Borg.

>>90529857
This and Chulk are the only two Marvel series I enjoy these days. Thanks, OP.

>>90537246
I get that, but Bendis is the one who penned it all the same. My point is that dragging Rich into a fight with Thanos wouldn't be any more of a conclusion. Besides, this book is already dealing with Rich's fallout from Thanos Imperative anyway. The circumstances of Rich's resurrection are a bigger deal than squaring off with Thanos because, um...

Writers have got to learn that if you don't have a plan for Thanos then you shouldn't use him.

>>90537463
Rich doesn't seem to care that nothing he did in Thanos Imperative matters, which is kind of frustrating.
It's his fault that Thanos is still plaguing the universe, he should feel something with that.
Plus, it would be a lot more fun to read that rather than Sam learning to shave and going on a date.

>>90530092
Loveness is so damn great.

Give this guy Spider-Man. Now.

>>90537576
Anon, the point of Thanos Imperative wasn't to stop Thanos.

>>90537576
>Rich doesn't seem to care that nothing he did in Thanos Imperative matters
He stopped the Cancerverse from taking over 616. That was the whole point of Thanos Imperative, or did you forget that Thanos was their ALLY in Thanos Imperative and it wasn't until he started raging over Death spurning him again that they went "fuck, we can't let him back into 616 in this state."

>>90529960

This. Marvel's writers are mostly shitbags these days. The only ones worth anything are Loveness and Pak.

>>90538233
It's been awhile, but I always figured that was the angle Quill was playing. Don't remember if it's actually stated or not.

Gamora, what's Drax's policy on kill stealing? Because he exists to kill Thanos. He's got EXISTENTIAL DIBS.

>>90530177
>Sam has more game than Peter had at his age

Peter was a sullen loner on the road to science based supervillainy before becoming Spider-Man, and then replaced all those antisocial tendencies with guilt over getting Uncle Ben killed.

Also, he DID wear Betty down eventually.

>>90530556
>>90530889
Because that's precisely it: they just fucked. It wasn't a real relationship. Bendis is the only person to treat it as such. Rich belongs with Nita.
