I detest NINO.  And as much as Tommy-boy would like to continue denying that it's a failure, the proof is in the sale.  Out of the top 100 and falling fast.  They keep it on life support because of Loeb.

You can bet that Bendis will either kill Rich off for good, villain-ize him, say that he's really a time-displaced Jesse, say that Sam and Jesse are time-displaced alternate versions of Rich, or say that Rich died and the voice in NINO's helmet is Rich as the dominant personality of the Worldmind.  My money is on the Parallax treatment - brought back as a villain.  I don't like any of those clichés.  What you can be sure he won't do is bring Rich back to be Nova Prime as that's what the fans want and that would make too much sense.  But Bendis and Brevoort would see that as too much of a threat to NINO and above all else they'll keep pushing NINO.

Be afraid.  Be very afraid (of the expected clichés).

Don't get too excited. With Bendis writing it you can be sure it won't be satisfying to Rider fans.  Some comic book cliché is inevitable.  He'll either kill Rich off for good, villain-ize him,  tell us that Jesse is really Rich or Sam and Jesse are different aspects of Rich, or that Rich died and is the voice in NINO's helmet, etc.  What he definitely won't do is bring Rich back to be Nova Prime (as that would actually make sense and is what the fans want) but would be too much of a threat to NINO (and above all else, Marvel insists on pushing NINO).

Wrong as usual.  If you bothered to check, there are in the neighborhood of a thousand likes on facebook for most anti-NINO articles.  That means there's a whole lot of people out there who don't like NINO. Falling sales proves it.  If people like Brevoort, Dandan, and the author of this post would get their heads out of their asses, they'd know this fact.

What an absolute ass kisser is dandan.  Between your obsessive self-love and your obsessive love for Brevoort, how do you function on a daily basis?  I guess you can only tear yourself away from getting off in front of a mirror to fluff your man-crush, Brevoort.

NINO is for 4 year old minds.  So of course they like it.

Hey dandanetc - you're such a pathetic little bitch. F you and your self-righteous indignation and your self-satisfied (and totally un-earned) sense of superiority.  I'm sure you look up with adoration in your eyes while you're fluffing Brevoort for free.  Hell - you probably pay him to be his fluffer.  Loser.

Because Ian - as soon as a Rider Nova book came out, half NINO's audience would stop buying NINO and start buying Rider - then NINO, Loeb's pet vanity/tribute project, would fail. 

dandandanetc.  Your narcissism is evident by the obvious love of seeing your own name written numerous times; so don't pretend you know nothing about masturbating while typing.  You'd be the expert on the self-love of masturbation since you're so pathetic that you could never get a girl to actually do anything for you.  GFY loser.  I know you will.

So basically you're admitting that because of the movie the series is a high seller and Bendis' involvement is incidental.  So why replace the BETTER writers who actually created the property that inspired the movie in favor of Bendis who just turns the property into Avengers-lite and a running joke?  Put Quesada back in charge.  He made better decisions than you and Alonso. 

Just another stupid explanation to defend this intelligence insulting series.  So this teacher just slept through Bendis' Secret Invasion? Yeah - it was pretty forgettable come to think of it.  Not like we'd seen it before in just about every alien invasion movie Bendis ripped off.  Hope all you zombies who keep supporting this child-oriented crap are happy that you've helped Brevoort, Alonso, Loeb, and Duggan run cosmic into the ground.

On the Gunn, Feige, & Pratt interview I heard well-deserved praise of DnA's work on cosmic and GotG; but not a word of praise for Bendis & Loeb. Silence says everything about Bendis' & Loeb's creatively bankrupt attempt to undo all that DnA created and replace it with puerile, hackneyed, tripe aimed at the lowest common denominator of comic book reader. Cosmic was of higher quality when it was "Ghetto-ized" away from the main MU. Do cosmic a favor and recuse yourself from further involvement. Take Alonso, Bendis, Loeb, and Wacker with you.

Of course Brevoort would push the Bendis trash (aka GotGINO). It's Brevoort and Alonso's fault GotGINO even exists.  They wanted to dumb down the concepts to attract Avengers-zombies. Start with the DnA Volume II run.  Then read Bendis' run and you'll see why anyone who has ever read Volume II (and also has discerning taste and a mentality above that of the average 8-year-old) is thoroughly disgusted by the mediocrity of Bendis' completely pedestrian take on the concept.

There's a certain nice symmetry to the universe when a seeker of mediocrity finds the mediocrity sought.  I'm sure Lokeinlyesmith and NINO/GotGINO will be very happy together.

Ironic that Brevoort would refer to anyone or anything else as intellectually bankrupt.

There's always a self-righteous ass-kisser in the mix.  Brevoort loves your type.  He knows you'll buy anything he cares to dish up.

Spacekid is a perfect alternate name for NINO since the little idiot isn't worthy of and is a disgrace to the title and uniform he's usurped.

>To all the self-righteous types who have commented about how “above it all” they are about this issue, let me quote a recent statement by another fan:

"Would you want Captain America, Batman, or James Bond to be replaced by a young upstart who has none of their virtues? Let me re-phrase: do you...

First off - let me correct all of your distortions.  There is no "entitlement" theme here.  That's a concept YOU are shoe-horning into this debate - and - like a politician - you're using the word in a manner intended to stir up all the conditioned resentment all the "dittoheads" have about the word causing them to react in "knee-jerk" fashion and post nasty comments in this section in support of you.  I am a CUSTOMER registering a COMPLAINT about you replacing a SUPERIOR PRODUCT with an INFERIOR PRODUCT.  And we both know that you did it to appeal to the lowest common denominator in order to increase sales. And we both know that that strategy is not working.  You've gotten the point across loud and clear that you're not going to change it so there's no expectation that you will; and I don't think anybody believes that they're "entitled" to any particular form of entertainment. If you want the dollars of the Rider fans you'll correct it and if you don't you won't.  As to what I think I'm doing - I'm organizing all who feel the same way I do to try to get the point across to you because you are more intent on defending your position and getting the applause of a few dittoheads than hearing your customers.  Since dollars are the only thing that count - if we withhold our dollars, maybe you'll get the point.  BTW - as a business owner, I'd have to call what you're doing bad business practice.

As to the link - I don't know what fan-produced Starblazers content has to do with the point I was making. Nor do I think original Japanese anime concepts have anything to do with the point.  Neither are the "Starblazers" under discussion here. We all know the original Japanese content was "Americanized" before broadcast in the US and differs in major ways from the original Japanese ideas.  Of course that doesn't bother you.   I asked how you would feel if Derek Wildstar or Captain Avatar were suddenly replaced with a 14-year-old "idiot" child for newly produced material officially identified as a "Starblazers" reboot. You avoided answering the question.  Saying it wouldn't affect your enjoyment of the original material is just dodging the question.

Your points about Cap, Batman, and Bond are totally disingenuous. Nobody ever seriously believed that Steve Rogers or Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker would never be back - they're A-listers with movies to support them after all. And your point about James Bond is just laughable. Different actors portraying James Bond isn't the same as James Bond being replaced by another agent - especially an "idiot" child.  The point is that none of them have been permanently REPLACED by an "idiot" child (aka an inferior product). And you've made it clear in your posts on this very site that NINO is a REPLACEMENT.  Your dittoheads can scroll back and see for themselves in the highly doubtful possibility that they're actually capable of independent critical thinking.

Your final part about Rider is the most disingenuous of all.  Us Rider fans liked the change/upgrade to the more powerful leadership status. We liked the presence of a Corps of supporting characters. We liked the cosmic non-Earthbound storylines.  We're complaining about you REGRESSING, BASTARDIZING, and otherwise DUMBING-DOWN the concepts. We're complaining about you replacing our favorite character with an annoying "idiot" child.  Do you and all your dittoheads get it now?

And to all the dittoheads, I have one message for you all:  GFY!

Once again NINO proves to be a disgrace to the Nova uniform and the Nova Corps. He makes light of the deaths of true Corpsmen – something a true soldier would never do. He is easily bested by a lame bounty hunter. He is easily fooled by a pirate/slaver into saving the pirate/slaver from...

Hey sv4me - since you obviously have attention maintenance and/or reading comprehension problems - here's a short message just for you minimizing any effort on your part and dumbing down language to text level so your minimally functioning brain can understand:  GFY!  And save your "above it all" attitude for the zombies who care.

And to Brevoort:  How did you ever become an editor?  Your use of every comma in your reply was incorrect and I've frequently observed you improperly substitute "their" for "they're" and "your" for "you're."  Brushing up on proper English is advised.  Of course, once again you refuse to enter into any debate and just let the zombies do your dirty work.  That's right. I don't enjoy inferior products like NINO and it's incorrect to say that Rider is given a free pass.  Rider was never truant, never made light of the death of comrades, and was never disrespectful to teachers.  He was also duly inducted into the Corps initially via emergency deputization by an officer of the Corps and later formally.  Get your Nova history straight before you mouth off.
