Multi-title spanning storylines can easily annoy me. Different books entertain different people, and somebody who's into the spritely action and youth-driven angst of Teen Titans shouldn't be forced to buy the galacticly complicated adult-drama of Justice League if s/he doesn't want to.
One thing that seriously annoys me even more than such crossovers, is unnecessary character death. If a character has outlived his/her usefullness and has no fans, then character death is understandable. But when you have a character like Superboy who has some complex friendships, developing romantic storyline, and great story potential (not to mention a strong fanbase), you are asking for and upset readership. And it's beginning to look like everytime such a crossover happens, character death or some equally frustrating plot point occurs.
