That's actually one problem that I've always had about the multiple Spider-Man titles before (aside from title-crossover stories): What happened in one book may never be referenced in another. It sometimes would feel (like TMOB has pointed out in the "did-May-use-a-pseudonym-or-not?" conflict) that what happens in one book would either conflict with what happened in another book that month.
It was almost as if each book was it's own alternate timeline. Each month, I'd be reading three different storylines, and often I couldn't tell what order they were supposed to be happening in. When Spidey was going through the crisis of Sins Past in Amazing, he was also off fighting alongside Captain America in Spectacular, and in Marvel Knights he was getting his butt kicked by Electro. What happened when?
Now with doing away with the multiple titles and simply having the same title 3 times a month I don't have to ask myself that anymore. I can clearly see what order things are happening, and it actually seems like we're reading one cohesive timeline now instead of three separate ones (I'm ignoring Spidey's involvement in the Avengers stories right now, obviously)
True. I'm not saying BND is horrible in anyway. I agree that they really really really needed to get rid of the multiple books. I just hope everyone is clear on what I really meant. I feel the story telling has become more cohesive yet "clunky".
I guess I'm not so used to having the art and writer switch out every month.
I get pretty upset when I have to skip a month of stories because it's Gale's turn again.
