Forgive me for pulling a greentext, truly, but:

>No authors at cross-purposes
I've read enough mainstream comics and heard more of the same from friends to know that's so, so untrue.
With regards to comics, I meant that authors are generally not at cross-purposes within a single run of issues.
Jeph Loeb didn't have to deal with Frank Miller at the time that Loeb was writing Batman Hush, for instance. Grant Morrison could do whatever the hell he wanted with Clark Kent during All-Star Superman because it was a self-contained piece that didn't come up against any other author's narrative.
This only becomes an issue with comics as a result of crossovers, whether those be large, company-wide events or a guest appearance of other characters from other comics (which then occasionally leads to some nasty retconning back and forth).
