Following up from the completely disappointing ending to the Ghostbusters comic series, I get the completely disappointing ending to the Evangelion comic series. And it suffers from one of the main problems with the GB ending: It was just boring. I really liked the twists that the Eva comic series took in the middle and the art is still fantastic, but it ended with a whimper. The original ending to the TV series was so good (and I know I'm in the minority for thinking that). All the movies and reboots and releases have ruined everything that made the TV series so special and interesting, so while the comic series had an unstatisfying ending, it didn't sink to the level of the terrible 1.0/2.0/3.0 movies.
Part of the problem is that I think I just outgrew Evangelion in the DECADE that it took to finish off the series. I got into Evangelion when I was a teenager and that is THE series for an angsty, angry teenager. Maybe if I started watching the show as an adult, it just wouldn't have been the same since I'm more of a defeated, angry person now. And I'm just not into anime anymore and find the Internet/people at work talking about anime fanbase to be annoying so I'm not a part of the larger conversation.
