I have to agree with Tom from Comics Ate My Brain on crossovers:
On one hand I don’t like crossovers disrupting a regular creative team’s groove, especially if that team does Culturally Significant work. On the other, it’s always nice to see how the regular creative team handles the shared-universe responsibilities. Besides, at some point I just want a singular creative voice.
Marvel are really experts on taking one story and turning it into a number of separate stories that can be sold separately. The reasons for turning good stories into one branch in a whole tree is that it is possible to sell more issues this way.
Just thinking about the huge number of stories that were created from the original superman one can make many people feel dizzy. Somehow though they seem to make the story better.
One thing for sure even if I had the talent to work for marvel I would have never been able to cope with all the changes, not being able to tell the stories that were already approved and the whole chaos that others would probably enjoy greatly.
It can be interesting some day to create a personality test based on the attitudes to various comics.
