jwyss nailed it... with almost every story being part of an event, I've found that the most entertaining books out right now are the "standalone" character oriented books. The new Ms. Marvel book, the Surfer book, Hawkeye, etc.. these and a few other titles still seem to have the same fun adventure vibe I used to get reading comics in my younger days. Most of Marvel's events the past few years have followed a formula of "great start, crappy/unsatisfying ending"; they just can't seem to keep things going through to the end on most of them.
