Who are both those kids? Is that Franklin Richards in the Bendis/McNiven book?
Ah, so that might be why the Star-Lord Bendis used in Avengers Assemble is blonde and wearing the '70s costume. I have to admit, I hadn't considered that the guy being called Star-Lord might be some newb. I probably should've, though, given the new Nova.
Sam Alexander, the same one from the Ultimate Spider-Man monstrosity. I mean cartoon.Why. Why, why, why?
I miss Nova and Pete so bad, but there's no way I'll pick up this new stuff.
At least Loeb's Nova isn't Rich, right? It's some new Nova or something, whoever popped up in the beginning of AvX?
I'm waiting to hear what news comes regarding Nova and the Guardians. I'll likely pick up Nova if that gets turned into an ongoing but I'm not sure on Guarians yet. Honestly, I wasn't a HUGE fan of it when DnA were writing it. I loved Nova, Darkhawk, War of Kings, and all that stuff but I just didn't feel much of their Guardians series was worth the praise... not over Nova anyway. I do like the characters though and the layout of the series really was Bendis-ish so who knows. I'll decide when the time comes I suppose.
Oh don't get me wrong... I give DnA plenty of credit. They wrote a fantastic Nova series and turned him into one of my top two favorite characters (beside Iron Fist) and the War of Kings was fantastic. Their other stuff was good as well. It was just that people seemed to go nuts over the Guardians of the Galaxy and I felt it was probably their weakest cosmic story.
Giffen did do a fantastic job with Annihilation though, obviously. Though, remember that DnA did write the Nova mini that led into Annihilation so they do get partial credit there.
Well at least they're gonna stink up the joint with new guys instead of the ones that DnA spent years making awesome.
