I’ll get into the why of that a bit later…

The age of purchasing single issues is long gone. Now you have think about buying specific sagas and stories rather than titles. Then, when the good run is over and the person(s) responsible for it start working in their own comicbooks, you’ll follow them and end up reading indie stuff anyway.

I’m trying to remember if he appears in any scenes after this one, but it’s been awhile since I did a reread.

At the least, it’s purposely and personally, not corporately, passed off to a new hand. So that certainly will affect consistency.
I’ve never as an adult thought of mainstream (primarily superhero) comics as being an attempt at a story. There’s far too much history against that and an unwillingness to officially adopt individual runs that feature a known character. It’s possible that’s changing, I suppose I’m speaking from a point of view that’s never tried to follow them.

I’m very glad I found Webcomics, indie comics, and manga. Not that those don’t have their own issues, but it really does feel like I have a better shot at getting one whole proper story out of them than I do with Marvel or DC.
