My little sister (a teen and probably part of the current target audience) recently tried to get into superhero comics and gave up because the first collected series she got into was completely incomprehensible. I'm being vague here because I don't personally remember which one it was, but she complained that between issues, the team would suddenly change, old members would be missing and new ones would show up and all you'd get is a little editorial box telling you to catch up with some other series or crossover. Many of the plots were about the characters dealing with the aftermath of some other series that you would have to be following in order to understand. This happened nearly every issue, and taken on its own, the collected series was an incoherent mess. She did find some smaller, self-contained series that she likes, but her journey into comics mostly left her feeling lost and disappointed, I think.
