I think it's the biggest problem the industry is facing today - and it could be the end unless something is done about it.

Now my comments on this pull about as much weight as a half-eaten grasshopper, but what attracted me to comics in the first place is high quality and original pieces/series. Sure I have as much fun as the next guy with Ultimate Spiderman and the rest, but what I really love are high caliber stories with a beginning, middle and end. The Witching Hour by Loeb and Bachalo, Midnight Nation, Rising Stars (the end was a little less than I hoped for but overall still good) are/were all fresh and complete. There is a place for the ongoing tails of the X-Men, Spider Man, Green Lantern, etc. etc. but I agree that if the high-end talent that are currently working the classics and rehashes/variations of them were let loose to do their own work, we would have a lot of new and probably brilliant work. Plus a new story that has more finite limits in place is much more accessible to younger/newer audiences. Yes!

I bet that there are a lot of business decisions that they wish they could take back. Don't hate the playa hate the game ;-) I don’t think that Marvel would object to a little feedback besides they wouldn’t be in the business of entertaining if they weren’t capable of taking a little feedback every now and again.
