IGN gathers together a Brain’s Trust of two fans to discuss whether event fatigue has set in yet. Their conclusions may surprise you:

So far, and I don’t see how this would change, the publishers are being very cautious and, overall, considerate of the fans. Clearly the idea here is to make money, and I think that has to be taken into consideration. Events mean hype, hype means sales, and potential sales will naturally lead to more incorporated titles. However given those necessary conditions, I think DC and Marvel are constantly evolving the nature of their storytelling to tell good stories that generate a lot of excitement. Absolutely no event has been perfect so far, but I think we’re seeing an upward trend in terms of execution. As of yet, I don’t sense any blatant exploitation, only a focus on content. Until that time all I can say is: “Bring on whatever’s next!”
