That's how a crossover should be- you DONT need to get anything but the core books to have a great story, but if you get the crossovers, it enhances it.

Annihilation: Conquest and War of Kings works very well if you only read the main books as well.

Contrast that with Fear Itself where we got issue after issue of Bendis talking heads talking about nothing, doing nothing and wasting our money on filler, plus War Machine fighting...er...chinese mystical bullshit...instead of wrapping up tht book's painfuly lame storyline- that break in the snail's pace story killed the title- a good thing, sadly, as it had potential.
That Fear Itself crossover was ALL filler, building up, making weapons, hype hype! HYPE!- then there WAS NO FIGHT!
They spent six months of every Marvel title only to build up to Thor getting killed in ten panels.

His Death did not last two months. (makes jacking off motiion with hand)

I'm not buying any more of that bullshit and like a million other readers have gone to either only a few good non-crossover books like Daredevil and Punisher, or have turned to online pirace sources.
Mavel's sales will keep tanking and Disney will exert more and more influence- gimmicks like that stupid "Nick Fury Jr." idea- to push sales.
Because Disney knows shit about comics, right?

This!!! Annihilation and it's related events (conquest, war of kings, thanos imperative) were great! Chaos War, Fear Itself, and so many others recently...Rubbish!

I do all my comic reading online or via collected editions these days so that I can get the good and skip the garbage.
