"This is how you wind up with stories where there are a lot of characters standing wordlessly in the background, thinking, “Me, too!"" Is that how you feel about the Infinity Gauntlet/War/Crusade crossovers from the 90s? They seemed to have every character show up in the background, but the stories were always about Adam Warlock and Thanos. (Not that I didn't like them. Thanos is one of my favorite characters and I'm looking forward to "Infinity" next month.)
To a certain degree, yes. Those were good stories, but the point in them where all of the super heroes congregated at Avengers Mansion, and Speedball went out to get them all pizza while a team of six or seven were selected to go and fight Thanos always struck me as a bit dopey. That said, any big story like those has to be focused on a relative few characters if it’s going to be successful.
