Reason number 6. It's made me not want to collect comics anymore. If you haven't heard already, Marvel NOW! is some ponzi scheme of Marvel's to attract new readers by doing a soft reboot of some of their core titles.
I'm old and I'm poor and I just can't afford to pick up 20-25 comics a month anymore. Marvel has all these events every year and too many of their story lines are tied together with other books. You can't just pick up a comic and read it anymore, you have to get like 5 other titles just to know what's happening. This new launch is also supposed to tie in with their digital line, which I didn't even know was a real thing. I just can't do it anymore. Next trip to the shop I'm going to cut my list to 5-7 books and wash my hands of all this nonsense. I'll still pick up a couple books I really enjoy like Scalped and Batman and Amazing Spider-Man, but I'm done with the multiple Avengers titles and X-Men teams A-F.
Of course It's not all bad news, I have about 4,000 comics sitting in a closet that would really like to be read a second time.
