JB, if that were to happen, i would become an active comic collector again rather than just a buyer of Essential/Masterworks/Archives/Showcase/Omnibus editions (oh, and your new stuff, of course!)

No crossover events, to be sure. That's a sure way to prevent me from reading a book. Hell, Avengers Disassembled got me to quit reading anything by Marvel.
I would also suggest a moratorium on miniseries starring characters that already have one or more books. Find a way to fold these stories into the existing books (with a framing device, if necessary).

Cut all ties with Mark Millar, Grant Morrison, Greg Land, David Mack...

How many of these challenges have already been lost, d'you
suppose?
Early 2009 seems to be driven by three 'events': Marvel Noir, Dark Reign, and War of Kings. All seem to entail buying lots of different titles to get the 'whole story', and all three look cheesey and boring.

I'd be happy to see them follow any two on the list (except for the 3-issue limit on storylines as long as there's actual STORY to fill more issues and not nonsense filler).

I don't want things written for a trade all the time, but I don't mind a story
taking a while when there is not a lot of useless filler.
••
Try to find a Lee/Kirby story that ran more than 3 issues. The First Coming
of Galactus actually ran less!!

Imo 3 issues is a good limit. Most people doing 6 parters aren't even that good at it. All of Warren Ellis' best stories are self contained single issues. 4-6 issues should be exceptional.

Without decompression, you don't need more than three issues. What today takes 6-7 issues to tell used to only take one or two.

Since Amazing Spider-Man went on a three-times-a-month schedule there's only been one story to last more than three issues, and that had a lot of villains in it. I don't mind stories longer than three issues, but they should definitely be a rarity.

This is why I'm reading Amazing Spider-Man and ONLY Amazing Spider-Man from Marvel right now (Pre-Brand New Day, I read absolutely nothing for years). It comes out three times a month, the talent is recycled, they have a coherent shared agenda, Spider-Man doesn't participate in the MU in his own book much, and the stories have generally not lasted longer than 1 or 2 issues with sub-plots galore!
Every single other Marvel book and character needs serious retooling, and it's not going to happen til Quesada's out. Shouldn't there be some kind of 8 year limit like presidents?
