    I loathe cross-overs!

    I only have enough $$ to buy a few titles, and I absolutely hate cross-overs.
    You get your comics, and you go "OK, don't even bother reading them, you'll never get the whole story!"

    I also hate the fact that they've gone almost weekly with Amazing Spiderman.
    I'm on a "comics budget", and after 32 years, I've reluctantly canceled my subscription to ASM.

    Curse you, Marvel!

    Yeah, cross-overs take the fun out of comics for me too

      I don't mind crossovers, what annoys me though is when most of the crossover titles are the crappy ones they are just trying to boost sales for

          I know what you mean I collect Red Sonja an female Conan type character and last year they crossed her(mini series actually) over with friggin spiderman!?!?!?!?
          Spider-man Really!?!?!?!?
          To top it off they dragged it on for like 5 issues.
          I feel your pain as well on the dollar for comic crunch I just dropped 3 more titles from my monthly collections as well.
          I'm down to jonah hex,man with no name,red sonja,the warlord,the gunslinger minis,star trek,angel and buffy I'm done with everything else.

            Yup. They did it way back in the seventies too! MJ gets possessed by Sonja.

                They did me in years ago with that stuff. Buy as many titles to follow a story as possible. Even with the Green Lantern ring promo that just finished. I didn't buy all of those titles that I would never read and will be worth a quarter next week, I went on eBay and bought all of the rings for $9.99 instead.

                  I'm fed up with cross-overs too. Can't keep up with them and can't be bothered with the weak books that they try and rope you into buying.

                    Looks like something they'd try to slip into the Fox version of Spidey.

                        I just buy what I want. I only got the Final Crisis main book and Superman Beyond, all the other stuff I passed on. I totally skipped Blackest Night since it looks like a crossover trying to milk every last dime out of people with all the miniseries and crossover books.
