    Default New ways for Marvel Events

    So event fatigue still seems to hit people, just non-stop with them crossing over to books people don't like, and/or interrupting stories that people want to read. But Marvel likes them because they bring money. People do still want to see how the status quo will be change and wonder how much of it will be kept that way. People also like the chance of their character getting a chance to shine, as most events like to include at least one underused character to pump some new life into them.
    As such I wonder how people would feel if Marvel switched from events being corned off, or being giant crossovers with 10 tie-ins 5 being on goings and another 5 being event created minis, and instead switched to events being grouped into hero & villain classes/roles, with it bringing in 1-2 characters from a few different corners, and teams that all fit in together.

    Example: Shathra from the Astral Plane is ready to bring her children to attack earth. Maximus Boltagon after dying sent his Mental state out into the Astral Plane to hang out until strong enough to get a body ready notices this, and contacts Madam Web (Julia Carpenter) to bring together a number of Psychics and Magic users to use their abilities to attack Shathra there before she and her army is at full might. Could get Madam Web = Web warriors (ya she wasn't on that spider team whatever), Doctor Druid (Anthony Druid) = Avengers, Doctor Voodoo (Jericho Drumm) = Midnight sons, Moondragon (Heather Douglas) & Adam Warlock (Don't care he isn't on the current roster) = Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) & Magik (Illyana Rasputina) = Krakoa, Maximus Boltagon & Ahura Boltagon = Inhumans, Psykos = Eternals, Mur-G'nn = Kree-Skrull Alliance.

    It could go Regular Event book then, tie in. Those tie-ins being important can be diceded beforehand
    Example: Astral War #1, Avenger tie-in, Krakoa tie-in, Astral War #2, etc.

    I feel this gives time for characters to shine, while not interupting storylines becuase just bringing one or two characters from a book wouldn't stall anything and doesn't confuse the timeline. Putting togther when Dr. Doom wedding, GotG, last Annihilation, Darkhold, and Hellfire Gala has been a mix bag.
    What do people think of this idea Marvel switching for the time being Events being grouped by a heroes class/role? Did you have an idea what might work for this? What about this idea, would you be interested in seeing where it could go?

    A new and better way would be for them to stop doing it altogether. Or at least make it worthwhile and only happen like every 5 years.

    But as I put Marvel won't stop, too much money is made. Basically a new look to them.

    Less events that drag for eons and more graphic novels that can take the place of events.
