616 Month Storytime: Nova Vol. 1 #1

>What is this storytime series all about?
Everyday for the month of June 2016 (the rare 616 Month), commemorating the 55th anniversary of Marvel Comics, I storytime certain old Earth-616 Marvel Comics issues on their anniversary/if there's pottery when their respective release dates and volume & issue numbers align. Watch out for the appearances of the numbers 6, 1, and 6, in that order.

>For what purpose?
Milestone celebrations of Earth-616, Universe-7 (the mainstream Marvel Universe before the 2015 event "Secret Wars").

>Where do I find previous storytimes in this series?

>And today I storytime...
40th anniversary of the comic book debut of The Man Called DICK RIDER, Sup Forums's REVERED COSMIC MARVEL SUPERHERO!

TOMORROW IS 616 DAY!

WOOOO!

Thank you

Richard Rider was my favorite attempt to redo Spider-Man, until Kamala Khan. He's still one of my favorite Marvel characters. Naturally, Marvel killed him off in the stupidest way possible.

...

Still, glad I own the 3 volumes of Classic Nova in trade and "don't own" the entire first volume in digital.
