lithera | Comic book thoughts... (Reply)

So, another weekend where there are comic conventions and I hear this again: "The reason we keep making huge crossover events is because they sell the best, so you must like them."

This is not true for me.

I end up buying large multi-book spanning events because if I don't, I have no idea what is going on in the titles I read. Suddenly, everything has gone sideways and I'm totally lost. It usually isn't because I'm interested in what happens (the upcoming Blackest Night being an exception) but because I need a life boat for understanding.

I've noticed I'm reading fewer and fewer DC and Marvel titles and picking up more titles from elsewhere. While this isn't the only reason that is happening, I know it doesn't help at all.
