I think well-defined "seasons" have helped smaller characters even if they only get a short run. I keep going back to Warren Ellis on Moon Knight but... Jesus. It was awesome. It also is contained in 2 trade paperbacks and requires literally zero knowledge of the rest of the Marvel Universe. It's perfect for the casual fan.
Hawkeye went 24 issues and She-Hulk only went 12, but they were both brilliant arcs with an easy-to-trace story. And once the story was over, the book ended. There was no need to keep trying to pump out issues to keep the title going. The willingness to end books has really helped attract great writers, who will only commit to a shorter run under corporate's rules.
I think it's a great play for B and lower characters, but I always felt like there was more to do with Villain Cyclops for instance. Just not enough time to explore it.
But Moon Knight, Immortal Iron Fist, Hawkeye, all awesome arcs that ended just in time.

Not to get off point here, but Marvel NOW! Cyclops was no villain...I thought what Marvel did with Scott and the X-Men in the last 10 years is better than anything preceding it.
Anyway, Yes the smaller characters have been getting the best runs because they have so much more room to play with.
As for Sam, can't be a pillar for America without Steve's underwear? Hell The Falcon is now a BIG TIME character. Let him lead The Avengers, let him hold the shield, but don't call him Captain America. There is only one.
Like his pal Batman over in DC, Marvel keeps replacing Cap for the sake of doing it.
What they should be doing instead, is rounding Cap out to something more. Hell, his run as S.H.I.E.L.D director was too short.
This globe trotting Spider-Man is kind of interesting only because it sets Peter Parker up as an equal (out of costume) to Norman Osborn and Kingpin.
I'm also excited to see Crystal leading an All-New Inhumans book as I suspect she will be the POV character for the Inhumans film.
