Serial Killing
Its possible to tell single issue stories while also having continuity. Imagine this: Captain Obvious battles his arch nemesis Dr. Irony in issue #86 and defeats him. However, things for Captain Obvious secret identity, Marshall Marks, dont go so well and he loses his job as a result of his crime fighting career. In issue #87, Marshall is going on job interviews when another enemy, Hyperbole, attacks building hes in. Captain Obvious ends up saving his potential employer, but Marshall loses the job because he disappeared during the trouble and is branded a coward. Issue #88 continues with the unemployment story and a new villain. We dont need a character dealing with every villain for half a year. It gets incredibly boring; especially when you have to wait through a long month just for zero resolution and almost no plot advancement. Its just gotten ridiculous at this point.
