nova_prime: Steve Rogers Becoming Nova Prime! (Default)

Not sure if the image below the cut is a new Nova, or what, as the helmet is different than the image I use for my profile pic, which notes rank (8 points being Nova Prime). The current Nova Prime is Richard Rider, or was I guess.

Anyway, Marvel released a cover/teaser pic for their big "Point One" issue from Loeb, McGuinness and lots of other writers and artists that comes out in November.

So not only is Loeb writing the Cable mini-event that's supposed to start up what they're doing in '12, but he's also the headline writer for their big set-up story? That's...pretty insane on Marvel's part, considering the last time he was in charge of a big event comic.

Yea, why do they keep giving him big stuff? I mean, I can see giving him *some* work, let him have people punch each other in his own little corner, but events?

If that's Nova... that's HIDEOUS... never been a McGuinness fan and this does nothing to change that. It looks like it's from a BAD anime, possibly a chibi version of someone from a bad anime to boot.

The last time Richard wore something similar to those colors was when he didn't have access to the Nova Corps dress blues.

Hopefully this is just a sort of red-shift effect from him going so fast.

Or it's not Richard. That would be sad, but . . . if it saves him from bad writing, I can live.

Its probably not Richard, but still, if he's carrying on the Nova mantle, I would like to think they'd treat it with respect. But nope, of course not.

Did Marvel misspell Abnett/Lanning? Or is this an early April Fool's joke?

basickly this, yeah

I need him to Ultimatum all over the best comics Marvel's done in the last 10 years like I need Geoff Johns to go back in time and kill his past, now alternate self so he can Teen Titans all over Young Justice all over again.

Cosmic Marvel is a bastion of goodness partially due to it irrelevance. Once editorial noticed its quality they had to put a big name screwup like Loeb on it. Probably with the best of intentions, increased sales and all that.

Why the hell does he(Loeb) have any pull at all after Ultimatum?

For the same reason I can be mad at his work, but not really at him: They feel sorry for him.

Why should we feel sorry for him? Does he have financial problems?

Because it sold (what embarassingly passes, by the standards of the modern comics market, for) a Large Number of Copies.

The fact that after it finished the entire line was pretty much fucked isn't even considered, and is clearly the fault of whichever writer came after Loeb.

I gotta see more first before I pass judgment.

But given Loeb's previous marvel work this just doesn't bode well.

I like the helmet marginally better. The colors of the traditional Nova costume could stand for some adjustment, so I'm not hating it yet. I'd need to see the full thing to really get a feel for it.

Ick. (Above and beyond the idea that, if you're going to redo Nova, make the character female, because that one female Kree Nova was so damn hot.)

Like I keep saying, and wrote a bit about in-detail on my own blog:
http://eyzmaster.blogspot.com/2010/06/jeph-loeb.html
there's a good Jeph Loeb, which we will sadly probably never see much of anymore, and a bad Jeph Loeb.
After his current Red Hulk and the promises he made for Cable and now this.. I'm not expecting much from the guy, specially not on such an epic-crossover level...

I was happy to read that Nova might be coming back and then I saw Loeb's name. I'm no longer happy.
