[hippie_hunter]

Does One More Day count as an event? I thought of it as more of an arc and not an event. Events tend to have more of a miniseries and several tie-ins like Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War, Amazons Attack, and World War Hulk. One More Day just had 4 issues of Spider-Man comics.

 

[yenaled]

I always think if it spans more than one comic book title it's an event.

If you're going to do this, you need a lot more fanfare than this. Where's the glitter? The pizazz?!

I used to subscribe to Pizazz.
