It's good to see. I think I picked up the first DnA issue having seen an ad for it. But I don't even recall there being this amount of a push for that.
"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."
I think it is in DC's interest for this to succeed. Between Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Wars, Disney has a lot of successful science-fiction/fantasy related properties. If we are lucky, we could see stuff from these books influence the TV shows/movies.

It’s hard to remember, but Avengers was at a nadir when Bendis took over and knocked X-Men off it’s perch. They’re probably hoping for some similar firepower here.
How early into his Avengers run was Disassembled? Not that I'm hoping for a similar arc here. Incidentally, whatever it's quality, I saw Disassembled on the comics rack of a mainstream newsagent the other day. It was with the normal comics, so either it has staying power or they are releasing one a month and it was just its turn.

Eh?
My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.
They might be releasing a series of TBPs in a particular format and placing them with the normal comics. One month it might be Avengers and the next it might be Spidey.
