>>101395097I meant Kamala and Mile, because Kamala and Miles have been able to carry their own books (even if Miles' stories were shittier than Sam's but Mile sis popular).
The CBN autists aren't that many, 10 people at the most but there's a reaosn why their board is dead and why most of the old Richfags who were in the CBN messageboard migrated to facebook. And out of those FB Richfags a lot of them ended up liking Sam (they like Rich better though) or being indifferent to him.
>It is not like the concept of others Nova was alien to the Nova fanbaseI think it had more to do with how badly Rich was treated post Thanos Imperative that turned off people from Sam (but that's less of the character's fault and more of Bendis and Marvel editorial's fault). Even the guy who runs CBN and who hates Sam (more than he actually likes Rich) liked the character of Eve Bakian.
But yeah Sam's sales were never that good and I think it had to do more with people not caring much about him than hating him. BTW I could also say the same about Rich pre-Annihilation. Rich was never a popular character (He even had to go by Kid Nova for awhile since Frankie Raye had the Nova name) and only few people gave a shit about him. It took Annihilation to make a lot of people care about the character and to cement him as a cosmic badass and it was only during DnA era that he maintained sales in the 30k-40k range.
That said being a Richfag myself I think Sam is OK but he doesn't have decent sales like Kamala and Miles did. He really doesn't sell well also Marvel really needs to fucking conclude that shitty missing dad storyline, I'm up to here with that shit not getting a resolution.
