Someone mentioned the current X-Men push, were there hasn't been this many X-Books probably since the Claremont days or thereabouts (my general guess to illustrate a point). I feel that's how you need to push; that's how you find your audience, and that's how you build upon it, too.
I dunno, really, but as one of those audiences found and built upon, I'm just left feeling sad about this whole thing.
