Again to each their own though. I just tend to favor more armored heroes than the campier older costumes. Many fans like his newer looks over his old, and many like his old over the newer.

Nah- the reason for the costume change was the free hand the artist had in Annihilation- sometimes it seemed Marvel just could have cared less about cosmic characters (as evidenced by the "artist" assigned to the Super Skrull miniseries tie-in) and Annihilation saw all sorts of charcater re-designs- Annihilus, Firelord, Super Skrull, Ronan, Phyla Vell the introduction of Red Shift and Stardust- it was an artist's bonanza. Most, like Annihilus were great, others, like removing Firelord's mouth, seemed drug-induced. Still, the story rocked so some changes were fine.

But it's no coincidece that Quasar and Nova's updated looks were by the same guy- he loooves them impractical pointy shoulder armor things!

Also, Quasar always had the Quantum Bands- they can be fashioned into different shapes to fit the wearer- past Protectors Of the Universe were avian or snaklelike or whatever. having a glowing gem on each leg is just senseless though- they'd have to be connected to the bands on the arms somehow...

I think it's more that no one at marvel expected the tsunami of pissed off Quasar fans when he was killed- or the total lack of support for Marvel's replacment Quasar (Phyla Vell). It's like they dont learn anything from past mistakes- they assumed Quasar fans would flock to Phyla Vell's title since, hey, it's the same name, right? now they're doing the same stupidity with Nova- assuming the popularity of Richard Rider will translate into popularity for Lobdell's nonsense.
It'll fail and Marvel will say "Gee, no one wants cosmic stories- we'll add on some more deadpool and Wolverine..."
