No offense to western comics fans, but YES your assumption is correct: cohesive stories, etc... basically, long term consistency and continuity is SADLY lacking. Do what I do: pick up the good stuff after that storyline is complete and ignore the rest.

Marvel/DC =/= Western comics.

The problem is that most superheroes are owned by companies and they have a tendency to switch out writers really fast. New writer normally means completely new story line, as they obviously want to write their own stuff.

So when a writer gets fired due to unsatisfying sale numbers or if they have to do a forced tie in for some stupid crossover event, a story arc can get thrown out without any warning. It is pretty frustrating.

The only way to avoid it is reading comics that have consistent writers, which normally means creator owned. Stuff like Walking Dead, Hellboy or Invincible.

Agreed. One of the things that bothers me about Marvel is that they don't do a lot of Elseworlds-type out-of-continuity closed stories, like DC does, because I find the characters fascinating (and I actually really do love the idea of a shared universe) but the format and the way the characters progress with the same continuity bugs me to no avail because it's almost always done so poorly and really can't be done well, IMO.

I kind of also wish superhero movies wouldn't try to "do x storyline from the comics" apart from the origin stories. Riffing on the comics to bring in supporting characters and villains is nice, but I'd rather them take the movie characters in a completely different direction from the comics characters, because the decades-long, meandering comics format does not translate to film well at all.
