For now, just enjoy this. The replacement is actually pretty good.

bobkatt013 posted:Why? Abnett's version of Ryder/Nova in the Annilhation mini series and then his run in the short live Nova book where he was the last corpsman were immense. Infact I'd go so far as to say they were some of the best comics I've ever read. It was disappointing to see him replaced with a "Blue Beetle" style kiddy friendly kid.

Well a major part of his comic was him restarting the corps. Also while Starlord returned from Cancerverse we do not know how and if Ryder was able to.

I hope if Richard Ryder returns, he comes in on a space horse and uses it as transportation. The Surfer has a board, so let's get a horse that gallops through space.

I'm now picturing him riding through space on a golden unicorn that leaves a rainbow trail in its wake. I don't care how idiotic that sounds, I want this to happen now.

RyderNova was originally a kid friendly kid hero. Marv Wolfman wanted a more Spidey like character while Adam Warlock and Captain Marvel were tripping balls in space. DnA's Nova was cool and all, but an essential part of the character was lost when he grew up. SamNova is easily the best teen hero right now, with only Quentin Quire from WatXM as any sort of competition.

bobkatt013 posted:Really? He was pretty one note in his Morrison appearances and he only really became a character after he returned. I disagree with all of this, essentially. Quire in the Morrison run had fairly complicated motivations, was a symptom of a larger problem, and represented a kind of conflict that the X-Men don't have to deal with very often. After he came back, he just turned supervillain and that's really, really boring. So it sounds like the answer to my question was "yes", but I'm okay with that.

Seriously though, the book should be New X-Men Academy, or just "Quire".

That's Doc Ock's hang-up, being a better Spider-Man than Spider-Man (and turning Spider-Man into a crackling villain on the way, complete with henchmen, lair, gigantic spider-bots, blackmail, total surveillance, murder, hoarding super-weapons and super-villains in stasis etc). Read The Superior Foes of Spider-Man though:   The Superior Foes of Spider-Man #2

I haven't read any WatXM because I refuse to participate in the snarled and incestuous mutant continuity any longer (the only Marvel book I'm reading right now is Hawkeye) but everything before that with him was garbage. I didn't realize he was in WatXM and I'll concede that maybe they're doing okay things with him.

And I, for one, am happy that he is no longer drawn by whoever did him in New X-Men.

The X-books are better than they've been in years, and the last few years have been pretty goddamn good, so it's a high bar and they are hurdling the poo poo out of it. Quentin Quire is great and WatXM is great. Uncanny and All-New are also both amazing, although they don't have Quentin Quire in them which is too bad. Wait, no, he shows up in All-New sometimes too. And he hits on Jean Grey, but that's in WatXM again.

The only problem I have with Quire in WATXM is that they returned him to his "too big for his britches little teenager" look and didn't keep his "super-punchable punkish young adult" look from... whatever that stupid event where he returned was. I understand why, they basically couldn't have done any of what they did with him if he looked that much older than the other students, but it was such a perfect look for his character.

I'm sorry. I believe you all, I promise, but I am not going back to reading any X-books again. I'm clean now and every time I see something from the recent books (teen Jean Grey? what?) I feel like thirty years of continuity twister is going to come flowing out my nose and ears. I mean, I read the conclusion of the original Dark Phoenix comic when it came out. I had just turned seven and it blew my goddamn mind. And now I have all of these years of tangled-up bits of alternate X-timelines and temporal paradoxes and multiple versions of the same character and I am just done with it now. I am reading Hawkeye because it is awesome and requires absolutely no knowledge of continuity to enjoy it (and I was never an Avengers reader in the first place), but I am otherwise pretty much finished with Marvel for the time being. I shouldn't have commented on the Quire business because I was obviously not up to speed.

They put Bendis on the lead X-Men books and the first thing he did was pretty much go "Ok, all that needing to know 30 years of backstory poo poo? That's loving done." Yes, the teen X-Men from the 60's are running around, but the entire stance on continuity right now can be totally summed up by the panel posted a few pages back from the last issue of All New X-Men where Rachel "oh god the alternate universe paradoxes burn" Grey meets Teen Jean:  (All New X-Men 15)
