And there existence won't be any less brutal in long form, because it isn't just a one off...it's every issue. It's bad pacing for a single issue because it means less story per issue, but when read together it won't be any better because it will make the pacing choppy as you'll get 5 pages of story, ten pages of pointless fight scenes and then a couple story pages and then another fight scene over and over.
