Great article, Mat! In my humble opinion, too much of Crossover events can be very overwhelming and difficult to follow what issue to buy next. It's like "read Batman #23. And then read next to Superman #343, and then, Wonder Woman #44, and then Batman #24." Eventually, you're starting to think, "Okay, please stop jumping around too much! Can't I enjoy my own favorite hero for once?!"
Also, money can be an issue. If, for example, a big crossover event(s) are starting to pour out every single week so fast in little time, it can hurt my wallet. I pay all bills, foods, toys for my son, etc., and it's no way that I can keep up with every issue (especially $3.99!) in so little time. Currently, I am following Batman (Scott Synder) and Wolverine (Paul Corner). I can only afford to buy both titles at the moment and if they're planning to do big crossover events, then I know it'll going to hurt my wallet a bit.
Now for the good side. I like big crossover events because I love big story! It makes you want to sit near the edge of the seat, wanting to know what's going on next! I do like crossover events but all I'm asking is please don't "over" do it too much.
