If I Owned Marvel?

First; Joe Q would be asked to step down, but he'd be given the option to hang around as EIC for the Ultimate Universe. I love some of the things Joe Quesada has done, but it's time for a fresh perspective. He'd get a nice severance if he did decide to leave completely.
Second; less work for Brian Bendis. Again, I like Bendis, but he's been overexposed and I think he could use a break.
Third; Marvel Knights returns. More adult oriented titles, but not quite so bad as Maxx, featuring the grittier side of the Marvel Universe.
Fourth; a return to the status quo. I think we all need a breather for a while, and this would give our characters some time to stand on their own, no huge events for a while.
Fifth; extended runs on titles for creative teams. It drives me nuts when a title has a new writer/artist each week.
Sixth; Spider-Man goes back to being a monthly title. If there is an outcry for more Spidey books, Sensational and Friendly Neighborhood will be brought back.
Seventh; all Avengers teams will be combined and cut down into one team.
Eighth; I would explore using less expensive ink, lower grade paper (preferably 100% recycled), and adding more advertising to bring down costs of comics.
Ninth; the restriction on 'R' rated movies would be lifted. Punisher War Zone gets a sequel. The possibility of Moon Knight, and Thunderbolts movies get explored.
Tenth; the ban on smoking ends. Wolverine can once again enjoy a cigar.
There are probably a lot more things.
