Well, not everyone has that option for the characters they actually want to read about now, do they? And that's what's upsetting people the most here. I know for a fact that the one title I was looking forward to the most in a new Avengers line is not going to happen, and I might not have any other book to make up for that, so ''just go read a different book'' doesn't really work in this particular case. I don't have a problem with trying other new titles, though; I'm always open for something new. But it doesn't suck any less for the people who are not getting what they actually want to read.
Ewing's New Avengers wasn't even doing all that bad, actually. I think Marvel just screwed things up by derailing the book with long ass tie-ins and relaunching it. I think ''New Avengers'' by itself is a strong enough title to make it, but it needs a solid direction.
And let's be real, Young Avengers wasn't what one would call a critical or commercial failure by any means... so what was the reasoning behind giving up on that one? Yes, I'm a dissatisfied YA fanboy who will bring them up at any chance I have.
The fact that they are literally promoting this roster as ''THE BIG THREE... and everyone else around them'' doesn't bode well for all those characters being considered equally important.
