The mid-90s worked super hard to kill the comic book industry. No doubt. Batman and Superman had 3 back to back major crossovers that was really one big story each character. The X-men crossovers led into each other with a few issues in between or going into the lead in issues (Legion Quest were issues that led up to AoA). Sometimes X-men was the worst at this because they'd have half a year of issues in all the X-men books leading into that crossovers that might as well have been a part of the crossover. Yeah, the X-books just fucking broke me as a kid. And I mean that in financial terms: I just didn't have enough disposable income at that age to basically keep up with the stories, which finally broke my reading pattern/habit and forced me into this weird cycle of trying to get "back in" via myriad reboots and events, only to be forced to the wayside continually because once I started working and had the money to afford the sheer glut of required X-reading, I never had the time for it all. It wasn't until the Ultimate line came out in 2001 that I started buying floppies with regularity, which I did until... they ended the Ultimate universe. |
