Anonymous asked: Comic stories are constructed into arcs, its seems, only to compile them later for trade paperbacks. I understand that as a business option. However, why aren't there more titles dedicated to telling single issue standalone (in-continuity) stories? That seems a better option than the constant startovers with #1 issues.
From your question, it seems like you haven’t been reading a lot of our books lately. Because, sure, we do some stories that are six parts in length. But we also do a ton of stories that are one or two or three parts in length, hardly the size of a collection. You seem to be parroting the old online complaint without actually looking at the evidence.
Well, yeah, but the endless, endless, endless megacrossover events –
I mean, I suppose I’m beating a dead horse by complaining about those. I admit to loving The Infinity Gauntlet, the first one I remember, but everything since then has just seemed so contrived to me. But I guess I’m not in the target demographic anymore. I’m old (for a comics-buyer, anyway; I’m 35), I’m poor, and the whole idea of megacrossovers just irritates the crap out of me.
