So, Marvel isn't just pulling it out of their collective ass on this one (except for maybe deciding to use the USM Nova as opposed to someone entirely new. I view them as the Marvel equivalent of DC's Green Lantern Corps.

And to that end, you're basically going through the same thing that Hal Jordan fans went through after Parallax. Well, except Richard didn't go psycho and kill billions of beings before sacrificing himself in a last-minute attempt at redemption.

There were other Nova Corps members, this is definitely true. Unfortunately they were no longer Nova Centurions after Richard Rider(the Nova Prime) siphoned all the nova force back into him in one last attempt to prevent Thanos from handing over 616 to the Cancerverse (evil doppleganger universe), which not only left those other Nova Corps members powerless but also left the Xandarian Worldmind (Super Computer AI that contains the entire culture, knowledge and science of the Xandarian race) offline since it was powered by the Nova Force and the connection to it was also severed once Nova and Starlord were locked in that Universe.

I guess the green Lantern reference would be like having a new green Lantern running around after not only the big battery on OA was destroyed but also that living entity inside of it that's like Paralaxx and powered Ion was also destroyed somehow.

Based on the above events, I think its fair to say that guy who tried to chastise me as an ungrateful fan because Marvel was catering to me by not bringing back rider and respecting his sacrifice had absolutely no clue what he was talking about. If that was true about Marvel, they wouldn't have already brought back Starlord and Thanos who also were trapped there.

But more disconcerting about this New Nova book we're getting is that not only was the character created by Jeph Loeb (Sam Alexander was named after his late son, Sam btw), but it will also be written by him. With the recent track record of terrible story telling at Marvel that Jeph Loeb has, this certainly doesn't lend much optimism about a new Nova Centurion.

What are the realistic chances he actually read DnA's run on the cosmic stuff and will actually build on what they created versus ignore it and do his own thing? We all know if it ain't broke...cancel it and make it match the movieverse is the new theme at marvel for both cartoons and comics these days
