There are a lot of pro' and con's to the large cross-over events. I truly enjoyed Infinity as I got introduced to some newer members of the Avengers that I did not know and saw some that I only knew in passing. I also enjoyed Civil War (who didn't?) and it got me to like a little known character called Goliath aka Black Goliath aka a lot of other names who sadly was killed off and has remained that way ever since (is this a first?). In the DC world their first Crisis on Infinite Earths is truly awesome. They tried something and it stuck for a while but some characters are hard to kill off (are they really alive to being with?). Currently Forever Evil is great but the biggest con have been the delays. Seven issues which will end up almost taking a year to get released is pretty hard on the readers and the current books released by DC have picked up where FE ended and there's no more suspense. The pro's just out weight the con's in introducing some great and lesser characters that I have not read before but the frequency of having them have hurt the industry. Marvel have been on a 2 event per year schedule lately which to me is killing their base. It's asking a lot to shell out $4 a book plus get the tie ins. I agree having books that tie to the big events and not allowing them to grow on their own is silly to say the least. I have enjoyed Mighty Avengers and even having read Infinity and part of Inhumanity it still stands on its own. But now Original Sin is on its way with more tie ins for Mighty Avengers. When does it end?
