I also think they're launching a lot of titles, giving authors 12-24 issues, and pulling and relaunching if it's not working.  There's much more emphasis on story arcs now than there used to be; everything is aimed at the trade market down the line.  Eventually I think we'll end up with a new volume of a series every year or so, so instead of Avengers, you'll be getting Avengers: Avenger's World for 24 issues, then Avengers: The Evolutionary War for 18 issues, and etc etc. Instead of open-ended series it'll be sequential maxi-series.I'm planning to switch to trades eventually, probably first for the series that I don't follow right now but am curious about (Uncanny Avengers) or are willing to drop and wait 6 months (Avengers/Avengers World), but eventually go all trades.  It's much easier to reread trades than individual issues.  Easier to store, too, since they'll go on a shelf.</blockquote>
