“You guys often don’t read exactly what I say, you paraphrase it in your minds and then extrapolate from that in all sorts of different ways.

For the most part, limited series don’t sell terribly well, so we’re doing fewer of them. We’re also trying to keep our overall release count at a manageable level. But none of that means that we’ll never do any limited series, but just like anything else, we’ll exercise due consideration before attempting anything in that format.

I think there’s also an obvious difference between a limited series that’s a direct tie-in to a big Event and a Pixie limited series or whatever, as you well know. You tell me which is more likely to sell well.”

I’m afraid I think you misunderstood my intention. I didn’t mean to post that question as an attack and part of the debate. I’m very well aware that a tie-in to a big event will sell better thn standalone limited series (as much as I hate it) and I am aware that being bit more cautious about pulling limited series is not the same as abbandonning the format forever. I didn’t meant to attack you here, or, dunno, put you up the wall. I was just confused and curious. We have eastabilished that limited series sell worse than ongoing series. Yet the same creator gets to write two limited series that use the same cast of characters an tie to two events (through I wouldn’t call Inhumanity an event). For me that means he is passionate about the characters and would probbly be able to write more about them. In that light it seems to me it would be more profitable or you to give him an ongoing series about them an make plots of the Hunt and Awakening storyarcs in that series. It would get kickstart from Infinity like Mighty Avengers and it would probably sell better than those two miniseries will. And if reception would be good, you could allow Matt Knidt to continue it,which with that boost would probably allow it to last over a year, or at least longer than Avengers Arena (not to mention premise of “teens from many other series and new ones team up to have adventures” would draw in large part of people who stopped buying your comics precisely because of Arena). In that light I’m unable to see and understand reasons why you decided to rather publish these stories the way you did. And I want to understand it.

And I’m sorry if I come of as rude, I found ot it happens to me when I try to explain things. I assure you in no wy I mean you or anybody any offense and if any part of above text comes of as rude it’s completely unintentional on my part.

No, not at all, you’re fine. but in the case of INFINITY: THE HUNT and INHUMANITY: THE AWAKENING, they were conceived separately–THE AWAKENING was created after THE HUNT was well underway, not necessarily as an extension of THE HUNT but as an expansion of certain elements of INHUMANITY. The fact that Matt wound up writing both meant that he could carry over some characters and situations from one to the other. But there was never a point where the focus was ever on giving those characters an ongoing series. There were certain specific story goals that INFINITY: THE HUNT was created to address, not all of them having to do with the core INFINITY storyline even, so the notion of making an ongoing out of any of the characters introduced therein or used therein was never truly a consideration.
