I'm really hoping that World War Hulk will be the reset button to all this nonsense (I know, I know, thinking that more heroes fighting other heroes will be the cure to all this Civil War nonsense is kinda stupid, but I really would liked to all involved say: "We took a beating by the Hulk because we all dicks and we should be ashamed of this in many, many ways and try to return to being the good persons we used to be". Then again, is not like it can't happen (in terms of internal logic of the story) but it would need really severe changes on the current editorial (and maybe marketing and sales) staff on Marvel. But sometimes I think: maybe I should had outgrown comics by now (I'm 27) and my displeasure with current comics is not they are bad, "bad", is just the current characterization is not meant for me but for a more younger generation of readers? I'm mean like most teenagers I was kind of emo on my adolescence but not so much as to think that "the death of random character Emo Boy from Iniatiative" is nice to read I think. But I should ask some comic book reader who is also a teenager, maybe is just what they want. I do prefer to think that other people like it than consider the alternatives: that this much people by just to complain or that this much people buy because they were brainwashed to buy even if they like it just on the hope that they will someday. Also I Jenkins/Lee Inuhumans: clearly in the Top 10 Best Comics of All Time. But I also liked the severely underrated cancelled at 12 issue version by Sean McKeever. It was like a Marvel version of Young Superheroes in Love. As I also underwhelmed by the Initiative.

And to be honest, I wish my LCS had someone as enthusiastic and helpful as you appear to be.
