Thanks for the Annihilation Conquest Omnibus & looking forward to it when it comes in next week! I've only read the stories that were Nova vol.4, so I'm curious about how it all ties in together! The question I have is just with all of the other Nova's out there now, why was the decision made to leave Rich dead instead of using SW2K15 as an op to re-tool his origin and have him serve as a mentor? It's the question on a lot of Nova fans minds. No hate for any other Novas, just don't understand.
We’re not using SECRET WARS to retool anybody’s origin or backstory particularly–and even if we were, we’ve been using Sam Alexander now for three years, that’s a awfully long time to wait and do nothing–especially when, in the interim, the character has been all over television, had toys made, etc.
