A Book Log
This feeling of being in an interconnected web of continuity is precisely what the Ultimate line was created to alleviate, but I’m personally quite tickled that it’s popped back up, as it’s always been one of my favorite things about comic books.
OTOH, it's one of the major reasons I have never really been interested in superhero comics; it all seems very daunting and complicated. Plus, my completionist tendencies tell me that if I want the entire story (which of course I do) I have to read all the inter-connected comics, and I am not about to be sucked into that racket!

Check out Kurt Busiek's Astro City. It's in a completely stand-alone universe, and it's the absolute best superhero writing out there.
