To be fair, Marvel's never really had a clearing-house event before like Crisis. Having said that, it remains to be seen how effective this will be long-term.

Considering that was the third time DC's done a major change in their continuity, I'm curious when you first started reading DC.

And note the persistent theme of WAR. It's remarkable how many figures in my collection are heavily armed and taken from some sort of military context. No social programming there, duh! Titles like "Secret Wars," "Infinite Crisis," "Battleworld," "Last Days," "War Zones" are not particularly uplifting or life-affirming. Just for once, let's see a major crossover with a title like "Flower Power" or "Happy Time." For that, I guess there's always Archie or Looney Tunes or some of the alternative labels, although Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner have a uniquely sadomasochistic relationship, hardly peaceable...
Apparently you haven't watched that much Looney Tunes if you think those two are the only sadomasochistic pairing in that series. But to your larger point, using action and drama as the focus for crossover events and reboots is pretty standard for superhero comics.

I'm not saying the medium can't be open to other subjects, though. Just that it's their bread and butter, so to speak.
