Marvel officially announced Rich is coming back. We finally did it.

We, the undersigned, request that Marvel Comics return Richard Rider to the Marvel Universe as Nova Prime.
This is not a request to undermine any efforts related to Sam Alexander as Nova. We believe the Marvel Universe is large enough to support more than one character related to the Nova legacy.
Richard Rider was the original Man Called Nova and has almost 40 years of history with readers. The Annihilation epic and the post-event adventures of Richard Rider as Nova Prime elevated the character to a new level of popularity and stature.
Despite a lack of an ongoing title over the last few years, Rich Rider remains a fan favorite. The sales of the recent video games featuring Nova Prime and the Marvel Legends Nova figure support this.
We believe Richard Rider as Nova Prime could garner high sales in a mini-series or ongoing title with a proper creative team. All we are seeking is the opportunity be given to the character.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this petition.

The Man Called Nova was the first comic I read as a Kid. I've always followed his adventures and he has remained my favorite Superhero ever since. There are no words that can describe how disappointed I am with the way they have written him off.
I have not purchased a MArvel Comic since they "killed" Rich off. I really do not like the Sam Alexander character and I really do not like that they have not paid attention to the actual history of Nova Corps. Very very very disappointing. Bring back Rich and I will start paying attention again...
The heads of Mavel plus Bendis have had their heads in the clouds for to long now. They are trying to force feed nino nova down our throats and it is not working. The sales numbers do not lie. Bring back Rich guys, now!!!! reunite him with Abnet and Lanning and see the response you get.
I don't want to be too negative but Sam Alexander has, so far at least, been geared towards children while Richard Rider developed over time as a powerful and intelligent leader and tactician. Please Marvel, bring back Richard Rider and if you have any sense have Dan Abnet
Rider's role in Annihilation was a huge part of what got me into comics in the first place. I'd be thrilled to see him brought back from oblivion and placed into the caring hands of anybody by Brian Bendis or Jeph Loeb
While they are at it, fire everyone and get some talent back at Marvel. I understand movies make a ton more cash but remember the people that made the movies happen...your comic fans
Richard Rider!!!

Richard Rider is the Nova Prime, & brings so much more to the Nova mythos by being in the MU. Let him return & be the mentor to Sam Alexander, & the other trainees from DnA's Nova run..Rich's return can only take the Nova title, mythos & universe to greater heights!
