Can you explain something to me? Isn't the Nova Corp like the Green Lanterns in that they are super-powered space-police utilizing a shared power source? How does Sam Alexander being Nova in any way invalidate Richard Rider's service or impugn his honor in any way? Why does anyone who liked Rich give a rat's behind about whether Sam is a Nova? It's comics and Rich will be back at some point (see, Peter Parker) so why bother getting one's undies in a bunch? I'm sincerely tired of the griping.
