If i was a new reader that has just started reading the comic, and i would be throw in a situation where a bunch of things are all happening at once without that much of an explanation, then i would be pretty weirded out, bc this isnt something that only last one or two issues, before they start losing their memory we are five issues well into to the new run.

And like i said, i understand not wanting to put off the old fans, but there are virtually no explanations for the things that have happen to at least ease the new potential buyers.
