| I believe that most of you would agree with me when I say that, for the most part, most of the Marvel storylines have been less then stellar. Agreed? Good. That being said I wonder how it would be if marvel were to concentrate on core books and really start generating some quality material. My question to you is what titles would you cut in order to accomlish this? If you were the "Man in Charge" (or women) at Marvel which titles would you give the axe?
Here is the full list of titles according to Marvel.com:
» AMAZING SPIDER-GIRL
» AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
» ASTONISHING X-MEN
» BLACK PANTHER
» CABLE
» CAPTAIN AMERICA
» DAREDEVIL
» FANTASTIC FOUR
» GHOST RIDER
» HULK
» INVINCIBLE IRON MAN
» IRON MAN: DIRECTOR OF S.H.I.E.L.D.
» MARVEL ADVENTURES FANTASTIC FOUR
» MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN
» MARVEL ADVENTURES SUPER HEROES
» MARVEL ADVENTURES THE AVENGERS
» MIGHTY AVENGERS
» MOON KNIGHT
» MS. MARVEL
» NEW AVENGERS
» NEW EXILES
» PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL
» RUNAWAYS
» SHE-HULK
» THOR
» THUNDERBOLTS
» ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR
» ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN
» ULTIMATE X-MEN
» UNCANNY X-MEN
» WOLVERINE
» WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS
» WOLVERINE: ORIGINS
» X-FACTOR
» X-FORCE
» X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
» X-MEN: LEGACY
» YOUNG X-MEN |

| That's far from a complete list. Off the top of my head missing ones include: Punisher, Marvel Comics Presents, and Squadron Supreme.

Marvel Comics Presents > I'd keep it, but double the size and ship every other month. The Initiative > keep it going for a while longer I'd cancel the entire Ultimate line and put the talent on the mainstream books. I'd keep the entire line contained to a single universe for a solid year (no time hoping or other dimensions).

Honestly I don't think cutting titles is a guarantee for improved quality on the core books. If you are putting a half assed effort into a book or throwing a generic storyline out there I don't think you suddenly start seeing a difference. It's up to the artists and writers and the people doing the hiring.
The talent is out there and most of these books are capable of being well written/drawn. It's like a sports team, you can only blame management for the talent they put on the field. Whenever there is a thread about some title that is being canceled, to be honest it's usually a title I could not care less about, but you know what it's obviously someones favorite book which is why I am not a fan of cutting titles in general.
I'm a fan of cutting gimmicks, the more books the merrier, just get the proper people in place to make it happen. I really have to believe there is some better talent out there waiting to be given a chance, companies really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel many times and often you can tell a book is doomed to failure just by who they put on it and that can even be the case with the well known names.
