It seems odd to ask the question, since heroes from Marvel and DC are among entertainment’s hottest intellectual properties right now, but with Marvel getting ready to revamp its continuity with this summer’s Secret Wars crossover and DC looking to do the same with its Convergence event, we’ve reached a bizarre crossroads with “The Big Two.” If everything happening in mainstream comics is about to be erased, does it even make sense for us to keep buying titles that will be rendered obsolete in a few months?
I’m totally on-board with the idea of freshening up continuity for all the new readers that are hopefully migrating to comics after seeing these characters on film and on television, but I’m also having a hard time investing time and money into stories that will have no longer “happened” in less than a year. But maybe that’s just me.
