The crossovers were the last nail in the coffin that got me out of 
comics.  When they started changing the X-Men every few months, 
changing the name, etc., that was bad enough, but when I started 
spending almost three digits to keep up with all the lines I was 
following, their crossovers to lines I couldn't care less about, and 
the special limited run series, I realized that it was time to 
bail.  I still have a lot of the comics stored and will likely dump 
them one of these days.  Probably when I start liquidating to buy a 
couple more ARs and magazines in preparation for the new gun bans 
that are sure to come down the pike now that the D's have Congress 
and we have a spineless President who won't use his veto powers.
