The shame of it is, while I'm a huge Marvel fan and while the state of their mainstream universe comics right this instant is excellent, it's all just going to change in six months because that's the big thing that Joe Quesada has made important. Dark Reign is fascinating, as is War of Kings, but both are equally distant from one another and about to be overtaken by the next 'big event' that it doesn't matter. We don't get to enjoy them as more than tidbits. And yes, I don't think that Disney taking over will change this, because I don't see them hovering over Quesada and maintaining the status quo, since he's already putting it in upheaval every year. For instance, even with the venerable Joss Whedon having touched it, Runaways went from the best new comic in decades to something I can barely even read. I suspect this will affect the cinema experience much more than the comics experience, but so long as I can keep reading stories from my fave writers (who themselves are on contract only so long as they can stand the management), I'm pretty content.
