So the idea here is that once upon a time, our individual titles wre self contained. So what happened in Flash didnt matter to Batman or Wonderwoman, so on. With the birth of the summer event, we saw the death of this. And i believe it was the death, or at least slow demise of better story telling. When you have to include an issue of your ongoing, in the middle of your own arc, to fit some other stupid event, it fucks things up. This has really gottten bad in the last twenty years or so. Perhaps sliding back to basics would not be so bad. Stopping the yearly event would be a large step forward. It is not essential. Drop them off for a couple of years. Then have one. fans will feal that it means more that way. The team books can always tie the Universe together. The individual monthly should not. Used to love continuity, now im starting to loath it.
