    To answer your initial question: I do like Marvel comics, but I’ve always found comics in general very difficult to follow, especially on a budget. For instance, one of my old favorite storylines was the Phalanx Covenant story. But it jumped around between like six different publications spread out over gods only know how much time. All of a sudden I can’t find a copy of whatever the next two or three are because they’re in series nobody near me has ever heard of… It’s just agonizing.

    And it sucks because I often enjoy the characters, the writing, the action. It’s all fun and engaging even just dipping my toes in once in a while. So it’s even worse that following any of it deliberately is like trying to follow a favorite TV show that keeps getting rescheduled and jumps to a new network every third season.
