"Plus, our audience, especially the long-term readers, seem to have difficulty embracing a new character the way they did the guys they read about when they were young and just starting out. " I have to disagree with you here Tom. I am one of those long time readers and I do enjoy new characters, but all my new favorite characters have been turned into background characters or in Limbo. The Lights , Alpha are recent new characters I love and where are they sir? Don't blame the audience please

You’re a part of the audience, but you’re not the audience as a whole–as witness by the fact that stuff that you like, titles and characters and so forth, fall by the wayside or come to an end because there isn’t sufficient interest in them.

That’s in no way a slight on you. You’re an individual. I’m speaking of the audience as a whole. Within that, there are people of all positions and points of view–but taken as a group, on average, and with predictability, this is what I see.
