Personally, I thought one area where DC did it right was creating a "cartoon continuity" for some of their characters, and adopting the look used in the animated series like Superman and Batman, to create a separate but parallel universe and continuity to the more traditional comic universe. I think Marvel could have tried the same.
Although I like the Ultimates reboots, seeing them run alongside the traditional characters doesn't work well for me. To me, there should be one continuity, not 2-3-14 running in parallel (with the exception of projects like DC's "Elseworlds," which are usually one-shots). The multiple-continuity thing just seems to me to be one more way the comics industry tries to flood the market with product, resulting in diluting the impact of all of it at once.
