continuity causes too many problems(see: jokers last laugh crossover). i wish they'd let writers who don't want to be bogged down by 10 years worth of backstory do theirs in an elseworlds type thing. in fact, i think whenever a new writer comes on the book, they should have a seperate numbering on their run(ex: keep the number onaction comics going, but have like a seperate 1, ect, ect below that to signafy the writers run on the book).
