Why would they do that? I mean if it WAS to be an ongoing it would make sense to keep readership interested and get new readers on board, but with the sales figures I sadly don't think it will, which makes me ask, why not wait to publish it all as one book, one complete story?

[Phil]

Releasing it as separate arcs makes more sense for an ongoing and follows the formula of other ongoings trade schedule, rather than a maxi in one go...

[Flightpath07]

Makes sense that they are bundling together the issues that have "Fear Itself" on the cover, tho.

[Le Messor]

Also, the word 'Premiere' might put it under the Marvel Premiere Classics line, and they tend to go by storylines where they can. Though publishing an entire 8-issue maxi isn't beyond their scope (I've got a 9-issue run of West Coast Avengers in MPC format sitting right behing me as we speak.)

- Le Messor
"Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m.
And Mr. Dennington was dead at the time?
No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy."
