Rocket looks like a dog with chipmunk teeth in that Campbell variant. There was tons of continuity issues in #1 too. I really wish this was just a new series with Rich Rider, but nope. I do think it is terrible that Jeph Loeb's son Sam passed away, and I think it's really cool that Marvel let him name a new character after Sam too, but having Peter Quill coming outta the Cancerverse (Bendis will be addressing the Cancerverse in GotG)without Rich is weak as all hell. As much as I'm looking forward to the new GotG series (DnA made the last vol. my favorite comic) the new Nova falls flat to me without Rich Rider, and Marvel are doing a terrible disservice to any of their fans who stuck with Marvel Cosmic. They could have created a new character instead of taking up a new Nova, especially since the whole Nova force was wiped out on Xandar, and Rider was the last Nova alive, Marvel should have brought Rider back, and let Loeb create a whole new character for Marvel NOW!
Anybody else notice that there is not ONE new character created for Marvel NOW! with their own title?
Well with Morrison, you'd think Batman and/or Superman would be the top tier of comic jobs, yet his stay on either was and is short. It seems like the old days of golden/silver age writers and artists staying with a title are just over.
I haven't been back into comics for a long time again, but I'm noticing things such as who writes, illustrates issues, cover artists, and things I may have never noticed when I was younger. One thing I am surprised to learn is that writers and artists don't have the longest lifespan on any specific title. Right now with Scott Snyder doing an amazing job with Batman, you may think he'd be there long term, percentage wise, it doesn't look so good. Do you guys have any answers on why writers and artists never stay longer on any title??
Ugh.. I have to wait until next February to get the "new" Guardians Of The Galaxy series and the "new" Nova. Jeez.. I think the whole Marvel NOW! is just some crappy idea. Bring back Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning.. I'll never get to live down the best comic series I've read yet..
I think the Marvel NOW! reboot is gonna really suck. It's like I'm super excited to get Guardians Of The Galaxy back, but I'm basically excited to be disappointed when the new series comes. Abnett and
Lanning made GotG and Nova the best Marvel comics in a LONG time. Bendis makes me cringe when he talks about what he has planned for Rocket, and that's my boy.. Bendis DO NOT MUCK THIS UP. With the film starting to get going all we need is some retarded story about the team, and how the shluck is Star-Lord back in the Marvel universe after him and Rich Rider were stuck in the Cancerverse. Is continuity going to be sacrificed? And if so, does that mean the whole GotG Vol.2 was just some alternate timeline?
I mean really Marvel... do not muck this up please.. please.. please..
