We've finished Loeb and Wells' runs, now we move onto Duggan's for the rest of this volume. Time to strap in for the continuing adventures of the human rocket, Nova!

It's weird, I remember the BRB team-up happening before he met New Warriors. Guess it's been longer since I read this than I thought

I kind of like Sam's attitude, he's note a jerk but he's not a pushover. His comebacks are subdued but amusingly snide.
>Aren't you a little short to be a Nova?

It's simple but good material.

I wonder how much permanent brain damage he's suffered. I thought there would be some for sure after his Axis tie -ins.

Doesn't he get money for being an Avenger? And if not why the hell not?
>>83935749
Didn't the helmet completely recover him from an injury that had him in the hospital for three days?
>>83935793
His mother had him turn down the Avengers membership offer during Wells' run. By the time he joins the Avengers in ANAD Avengers, all that's left is a "relatively" poor Tony and he isn't paying anyone as a result.
Which we'll be getting to towards the end of this series of storytimes.
>>83935793
Didnt hi mom refuse to allow him to be an avenger, as he is a minor he needs her permission?
But yeah p sure the avengers have like a stark managed discretionary fund or something. Most of the rich heroes would probably fix his problems in an instant if he asked.
But, being Nova *is* suffering.

That's a lot of dead people stranded solar systems apart.
Which is a beautifully horrifying concept when you think about it.

Best Bill is obviously from Walt Simonson. So Simonson who created the character more or less lays the template for said character.

... Hasn't Galactus appeared in front of Earth. WTF no telescopes picked him up when he was right in front of the planet. Also the Skrulls invaded, and didn't the Kree drop alien prisoners on Earth once. How do I become a marvel editor I want to collect that free paycheck.

He mentions "stuff the TV feeds us." Remember that they're in bumfuck nowhere Arizona, whereas the vast majority of alien contact is relegated mostly to stuff that happens in NYC, and all within the span of a little over a decade.
Presumably there'd still be holdouts in places like that who think all that superhero shit on the TV is all bullshit.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate that Sam OBLITERATED an alien with such firepower that Bill himself was afraid? That's why he suffers like a shit. He's top tier, so he needs to suffer emotionally in order to have ballance. Only the saddest of lifes can counter his awesomeness.

I just came back from the other side of the universe, where I stopped an universal threat, and when I came home I *sob* I found this. P-please, I know I only know you from that time where I-I announce the Phoenix was coming, and later brought Cyclops back to the planet so Scarlet Witch could stop him, thus saving the world, but I really need a home.
>Say no more, kid. Here's your check.
Seriously though, I know Stark isn't the most friendly out there, but couldn't Sam do this?
>>83938299
>>83938001
thanks for doing this OP
I mean, surely Sam has to stop getting the shit end of the stick eventually. Right?
I would seriously stick to hunting down space bounties and getting space rich, fuck everyone else. He can move his mom into his new space mansion.

Storytimer here. Going to be doing the next arc in a new thread. I like to avoid breaking up arcs when possible and this next one is a douse.
Anyways, going to start the storytime in a bit, so keep an eye out and remember to keep this and the previous threads bumped for new readers.

Based numbskull

>And Jinin was never heard from again
So, /co/, question here. I suppose I'm a casual. I started reading comics about three years ago, from very different heroes, both DC and Marvel. Two weeks ago I read Sam's solo and I love this character. He's not my favorite, but he's easily in my top 5. But most people hate him and says his books are shit. He sales very bad, also.
So, is it that I have a shitty taste or people just take it too hard with Sam?
>>83938870
People are too hard on Sam. Most of the people that hate him are either hardcore fans of the late Nova and blame Sam for him dieing like he was killed off to make way for him, when that wasn't the case. Another group only know Sam from the fact that Loeb made him and named him after his own sonSam Alexander Loeb was Loeb's son, he died of cancer as a teenager, and instantly associate Sam with Loeb even though Loeb only wrote the first arc, and most of them hate Loeb for some of the really bad comics he wrote shortly after Sam Loeb's death. Mainly Ultimatum.
So you have these two fanbases, those that love Rich and those that hate Loeb, putting all their frustrations with them on the character rather than even giving him a chance. The comics themselves are good.
As for the sales, Nova has never been a high seller.
