Sorry you feel that way, but it is what it is.
I tend to think, though, that comic book fans should just relax and enjoy the stuff they like without being so concerned about the question of whether it’s going to go on eternally, as though that was the only yardstick to measure the worth of a particular story or project.
I don’t like Black Mirror any less because there are only two seasons of 3 episodes each (and now an X-Mas Special) nor because there may or may not ever be any more.
So if you like the look of SQUIRREL GIRL or SPIDER-GWEN, maybe just buy them and read them. Or don’t—that choice is as always in your hands. But it seems to me that denying yourself something that you might like because you’re afraid that it might at some point go away is a sad way to live your life. Everything Dies.
It’s still a legitimate concern when your motivation to buy singles instead of trade waiting is because you want to support the title, so it lasts longer.
I still don’t think anything is actually going to “end” really. There’ll be this big cosmic mashup event, maybe a few status quo changes (2:1 odds mutants and/or the FF get shafted HARD in some way), and then things will resume as normal. That having been said, I don’t get why Brevoort wouldn’t just say “Hey, those books are going to continue through Secret Wars.” They’ve already stated openly that the event is going to involve all ongoing titles in some way, and every other bigwig at Marvel is using the whole “who knows if anyone will survive” thing jokingly. Just say Time Runs Out doesn’t involve Spider-Gwen and Squirrel Girl immediately dying, don’t give some weird BS answer about Black Mirror.
