Leeran

Guys, you shouldn't compare him to his character in the Ultimate Spider-Man series. If you read the little issues he's been in, you'll see he is very different in the comics. He isn't such an idiot and he seems a lot more mature, although he's still a kid and he makes some bad jokes. But I watched USM and I also read all his issues (which like... four), and I find him a lot more likable in the comics. I think Loeb is writing here stuff he just can't put in a kid's show. I mean, in just four issues (where Sam isn't even the main character), he saw a planet being destroyed even when he tried to save it, he ended up in a coma and he was almost killed by Scott. So yeah, I don't think you can compare him to USM!Sam.

We don't know his story yet, we don't know how he became Nova. We don't know if it makes sense or not. And honestly, Marvel retcons this kind of stuff all the time anyway. I'm sure they found a way to make this new Nova appear. Isn't it a little to soon to criticize this stuff?

And seriously, some of us actually want to read about Sam Alexander. If you don't want to give him a chance, that's fine. But shut up and let other people enjoy the comics.
