Actually, Jerry, I don't mind the co-issue continuity at all... I, too,

rather enjoy it (I remember the Avengers/Defenders teamup of years ago with
much affection).  What I object to, in many cases, is the declining quality
of the writing during these cross-overs.  It's as if the writers have
trouble making their styles compensate for each other, and also they seem
unfamiliar with the other character's writing.  The Englehart issues you
mentioned are one of my favorites, but Englehart was scripting BOTH
titles... it was easy for him (not to mention natural) to make the issues
compensate for one another.  Also, Englehart (Coyote or no Coyote) is one
hell of a writer.
 
In the end, it really depends on the writer(s) (doesn't it always?).
