Serial Killing

It€™s 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, don€™t 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 he€™s 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 don€™t 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. It€™s just gotten ridiculous at this point.
