John Mayo and Bob Bretall are joined by Lenny, Hassan, Jon and Zack to discuss event fatigue and general comic book fatigue. How much is too much? Going over the Previews every month, we cannot help but notice the plethora of new mini-series and ongoing series that keep cropping up month after month. Add to that the fact that wersquo;re coming off of a couple of years of almost continual ldquo;eventsrdquo; from both Marvel DC, which each have lots of tie in issues and mini-series. We talk about how this is affecting the buying habits and just general mental state of readers. When is the ldquo;last strawrdquo; going to be dropped on our collective backs?
