My favorite recent mini was Deadly Genesis. Looking back what I really liked about it was that it set up the Brubakers arc on Uncanny so well and got me thinking. Why aren't there more minis that serve to launch a big arc on a series?
Right now, most minis serve to tell the untold stories/origins of teams and characters, or they're self-contained stories. Historical minis are well and good, but I've come to realize that they're basically just niche stories for the more hardcore fans. Self-contained stories can have some great writing but are frustratingly irrelevant.
Personally I'd really like to see more minis that serve to begin a story that will be picked up in an ongoing. Who's with me?
