It’s a Big! Event! omg!

In a bit of comic criticism, is anyone else sick to death of these HUGE EVENTS that pop up every four months or so? The damn things must boost sales, but I hate crossover stories, especially when they involve books I don’t usually read. And anyway, an event should be something that pops up every once in a while, not every four issues. In the past couple of years we’ve had what, House of M, Decimation, Civil War, Endangered Species, and now this Messiah Complex thing mentioned in this article?

Hmph. You know what would be great for Marvel comics right now? Decent, steady storytelling that doesn’t hinge on a Big! Event! to carry it off. Writing like Peter David’s on X-Factor, or Joss Whedon’s on Astonishing X-Men (if only the issues would come out more frequently than every three months, hmph).

And while I’m wishing, I’d like a pony and a plastic rocket…
