I dunno, don't you think they're justified now to make the call as to whether they're happy or not? They are the end consumer and the ones IDW want to come back each and every month. You can't keep telling people that this is something it's not and expect them to keep buying in the hope that all will be revealed.

It annoys me that the comic fandom is so fickle some times. Readers should not have to wait and see through to the end of an arc to justify their opinion. These guys went out there and bought the book and hated it. Fair enough. You didn't do a good job of making them want to come back. That's the nature of a serial book. You can hope that a reader holds out for your bigger picture but you can't turn around and have a swipe at those readers for not waiting out. I'm an old school loyalist myself. I'll read to the end of an arc before dropping but I perfectly understand why other people are frustrated and just vent and off and just leave. It's like watching a show on TV. If you don't like it, you switch off. This is a serial comic and you pay bloody good money for it ($7 these days, that's lunch!) and you goddamn right have a reason to be pissed off if the book isn't satisfied and people try to keep you on the hook by saying "wait n see, you'll be satisfied"

Personally, I'd like to have IDW just had this book announced as stand alone so that it got away from all the Furman stuff which though in principle was good, was pathetically executed. It would've also stopped this problem.
