There has been a problem for a while with the sales of mini's. Fans usually don't see them as "important" so end up ignoring them, leading to poor sales whenever a title is revealed to be a mini. To try and curb the issue Marvel often doesn't announce books as mini's (even if they were planned to be) and treat them as ongoings. They often eventually end at around issue #12 and fans have picked up on this leading to them not giving certain books a chance. It puts Marvel in this awkward position where calling a book a mini means it DOA, but their current solution is failing fast. What do you think would help (if there is any solution)?
