  1. I wish Marvel didn't poop out so many "events". Civil War II is killing Ms Marvel for me and the event creeps up into her comic series. Later this year a new "event" is announced that involves Inhumans vs X-Men. If this makes into her own comic (because she's technically an Inhuman) I'm thinking about canceling my subscription to the Ms Marvel series.

    1. @adiwan Are you saying that the problem with comics is... that there are too many comics ?

      1. @critialcloudkicker The problem is that the big crossover events are messing up the flow of the heroes' respective series. In Ms Marvel the introduction of the event came from nowhere. As someone who doesn't want to follow these crossovers it's a big nuisance.

        1. @adiwan I can immagine that people whom make comics get high on brainstorming occasions and when 2 of these people meet and decide to cross eachothers work for cherrys and giggles, the continuety of the canon is not really high on their priority list ( or even an afterthought in their current state of mind )

          1. @critialcloudkicker It boils down to money and greed. More event crossovers, more comics, more purchases! People want to follow what their favorite hero does!! They NEED to buy all of the extra comics to understand what's going on!!! I don't mind small scale crossovers like the one The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and Howard The Duck did a couple of months ago. It lasted two issues. Quick, painless, fun.

            1. @adiwan Then I take it is not worth looking at the things for the sake of continuety ?

              1. @critialcloudkicker There are comic book review sites that talk about what happens in the events. Reading the reviews is enough to get the gist of it. Civil War II is a clusterFrankerZ. An Inhuman named Ulysses has the ability to see a very probable future and the heroes struggle/fight about the use of his abilities to prevent the crime from being happening and jailing the criminals before the crime has been committed. It lacks the nuances of this problem/opportunity.
