I think I mentioned the use of "Volumes" in this thread earlier. I still think it's a good idea.
Let a series run for 12 issues (1 year). Keep the same writer and artist on it. Let them tell a full story and the start again at volume 2. Another 12 issues. Same creative team or a new one for 12 issues. Works for 2 trades a year as well.
It gives readers a clear jumping on point. Let's the creative team tell a full story.
If they want to keep the original numbering to go along with the volumes for those completionists that's cool.
The problem for Marvel and DC is this format would limit the number of crossovers/events they're able to do.
