The name shortening doesn't bother me really (I'd prefer they
didn't
do it, but it doesn't bother me much) - What kills the book for me is the leaden pacing. NOTHING is happening and, as Xerofall said, Marvel #3 told the same story in a far more interesting way and in a single issue (and that was nearly 25 years ago).
Thing is though, this is what I said would probably happen well before I read a single issue. You only had to look at IDW's TRANSFORMERS comics to realise this. Only my 'collector' mentality is letting me carry on buying the title in the hope that is suddenly improves. Otherwise, I'm finding it virtually unreadable.
Oh the irony: I remember the complaints about DDP's "Re-Instated" arc being 'too rushed' (and that was, at the time, just a mini-series and HAD to 'rush' some aspects!). Them were the days....
