Nail on the head, thanks, Nash. I think that’s the issue I (and other people) have encountered, the stories don’t feel the same. As an aside, does anyone think we’ll actually see anything at that Hasbro thingy in Hong Kong later this week?

My rationale is always “why pay four dollars for a new book that’ll disappoint me when I can pay four dollars for a kickass bronze age book from the bins?” The huge “change everything” crossover every six months is annoying, but they sell well (for some reason). They also make leafing through an isolated issue a continuity nightmare (my frequent conversation with my LCS owner is “that happened?... when?”). Also gotta agree on AOA, that story is well and truly not my bag.
