Yes. I'm hoping that DC will stop with the huge events after this and let us have a year or two of status quo

with maybe some stuff that crosses books but not the whole universe.

These events sell huge. They're here to stay, I'm sure. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:08 11
- They do, but they also try the patience. I've dropped every Marvel title I was reading except Daredevil and 2 Ultimate titles specifically because - TWuG Mar 1, 18:13 9
  - Captain America and Daredevil are the only books I'm actively following on Marvel right now. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 18:24
  - but they've not interfered. They were planned and accounted for. The policy now and for the past 3 years is that... - Remlik Mar 1, 18:22 2
    - Except the do interfer. Marvel's events have sucked. And badly. The books that have tied in have sucked, too. - TWuG Mar 1, 18:34 1
      - Sales indicate otherwise. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 18:38
  - Ms. Marvel is a joy and X-Factor's last two issues have been the gold standard. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:14 4
    - I don't think I've ever read an X book I've liked even after several tries over a decade. The stuff other people like just leaves me cold. -- nm - TWuG Mar 1, 18:15 3
      - I'm generally with you on this. The Multiple Man character's existential crisis makes it stand out. -- nm - David Mar 1, 18:18 1
        
        I love the tweak they did to his powers, the Madrox LS was excellent -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:21
      - this is pretty good, tends to stay out of the rest of the X-Universe. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 18:17
- They were "huger" when they felt more fresh, but I agree that I don't see them going away. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 18:12
I must say the tendence of the Big 2 to chain event after event is really getting tiresome. - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:50 6
- I find it depends on the event. Marvel's Annihilation twosome was the best thing from either the last couple of years. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:51 5
  - That wasn't a company-wide even though, and had the nice idea of employing underused characters. -- nm - celedhrymandias Mar 1, 17:57
  - yeah it was. and we got Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy out of it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:53 3
    - War of Kings!!! -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:54 2
      - Of all the books I expected to tie into War of Kings... (mini-mini-spoils) - TFox Mar 1, 18:05 1
        
        heh. .yeah...I was cracking up. But where else... - Remlik Mar 1, 18:23
yeah, uh no not happening. Blackest Night coming this summer from Johns. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 17:48 3
- That doesn't seem to be taking over the whole universe, nor is battle for the cowl. - TWuG Mar 1, 17:59 1
  - Well that is what Marvel does for sure. But it looks like DC is following suit with Blackest Night. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 18:01
- Didio! *fistshake* -- nm - the darcy Mar 1, 17:52
or just let Geoff Johns take over the whole shooting match. Everyone else is pretty useless -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 17:47
