Big problem is small page count, long story arcs spanning multiple, sometimes dozens of issues, crossovers and most importantly, universe resets, reboots, alternate timelines etc. Also, no one ever stays dead.To contrast it with Bonelli's comics, which are also monthly issues. Every issue is usually 96 page self contained story. Stories spanning 2 issues are exception, 3 issue ones are rare. My favorite is Nathan Never (hard sf/cyberpunk) which also has more continuity similar to Marvel/DC, but characters that die, stay dead, characters change, they age ( Nathan ages, his daughter starts as kid and grows up over few hundred issues), also, there are no resets, big events happen and changes are permanent in continuity of story. And even with all that, most issues are self contained stories. Other one, and this one i would suggest highly, if you speak Italian, is Lazarus Ledd. Unlike American superheroes who are trapped in a sliding timeline where they never truly age, Lazarus exists in a persistent world where time moves forward and actions have permanent consequences. This comic follows the life of Lazarus Ledd ( real name Ronald Gordon), a former clandestine special forces unit member, who matures and evolves over time, shifting from a haunted undercover operative to a seasoned journalist while carrying the visible scars and psychological weight of his past. There is no status-quo, every death is final and every trauma shapes the hero’s future. But biggest difference is, there is end. Finale, with conclusion and narrative closure. No reset, no reboot, finished, done. 151 issues (plus some specials) and that's it.</blockquote>
