I'm guessing I'm in the minority in saying while I can still enjoy a miniseries story... this is not the format I enjoy reading my stories in...
What excites me is picking up an issue and in the hands of a good writing team feel like 5 or 6 or 7 volumes later this big story is unfolding...
Like superman Transformed eventually lead into the Millennium giants are and then superman forever... damn Ioved that huge arc of 70 issues ...
Or how flashpoint lead into the action comics runs, all the superman wonder woman books and how all these stories played along with earth 2 stories that lead to Convergence that lead to rebirth and then reborn... we are talking about volumes upon volumes... this is what excited me..
Reading a 12 issue miniseries is great and all but the stories are much briefer and not as gigantic In world building...
Each to there own i guess... but I love the events like Infinite Crisis and final crisis and all the books that lead to these events are what excite me... mini series tend not to have the scope... not that they are in a vacuum always ... but you get my point
