Just read Scarlet #6 (originally solicited in April 2011). I could barely make it through the issue, very preachy. This issue was enough to get me to decide to not order Scarlet #8 in the March solicits.

SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #9
IT ENDS HERE! “SUPERIOR NO MORE!”
• The hottest comic in comics comes to a turning point that will get you angrier than you were after Spidey #700!
• The time has come to see who will live, who will die, and who will emerge as the one, true Superior Spider-Man!
Well, that's an interesting marketing angle for Marvel to take... "this book will make you even angrier than the last time we pulled this!"

Worked to keep me away.
I suspect that it will work to attract people who loved ASM #700 & the Superior reboot. I'm guessing that was their intent, solidify the base of people already liking the new series.

The classic "hate turns to numbers" ploy. Used to perfection by Howard Stern.

If it gets people angrier than Spidey #700 I'm a little bit worried for Dan Slott's health.

AGE OF ULTRON #7 (of 10)
In an attempt to defeat Ultron two Marvel Heroes take it upon themselves to create an all-new Marvel Universe. But is the one they have created better or worse than the one they left behind? The event of the year just got INSANE!!
AGE OF ULTRON #8 (OF 10)
With the Marvel Universe turned inside out, who will take responsibility for breaking the world? And is there any way to put it back? Wait until you see who is in charge of the new world order and how they got there…! A reality-spanning choice is made this issue that will affect the Marvel Universe for years and years to come.
Luckily, I think this will be a 'nothing' mini, as it was suppose to come out so long ago. Hard to tie anything into current stories when the story you are telling is 2 years old.
"Hard to". Not impossible however.

From Bleeding Cool:
I understand that, spinning out of gossip from the Marvel Creative Summit this last week, that next year there is a plan at Marvel to kill Wolverine. In a way that gets round his healing factor and his seems supernatural deal to keep coming back from the grave.
That it may involve the effects of time travel on his body as a result of the Age Of Ultron upcoming series. And also the idea that, even given his reputation as a bloodthirsty killer, this time he may have gone too far…
There's your tie in to current stories despite the mini being 2 years old!
Those damn Marvel (bleeps)!! Killing beloved Wolvey!!! The Marvel Universe just won't be the same w/o him!!

Kind of goes without saying that I have been completely burned out on caring about ANY character Marvel "kills". All temporary, the stories have no real meaning or impact for me.

Later this year, writer Neil Gaiman makes his return to Marvel Comics. According to The New York Times, the "Sandman" and "Eternals" writer will re-enter the Marvel Universe with a collaboration on the final issue of "Age of Ultron" with writer Brian Michael Bendis before co-writing "Guardians of the Galaxy" #5.
Perhaps even more intriguing is the announcement that Gaiman plans to introduce Angela to the Marvel U, a character the writer originally created as part of Todd McFarlane's "Spawn" mythology. Gaiman won a long-running legal battle in 2012 , awarding the co-creator 50-percent ownership of the character with McFarlane. While a crossover between two publishers is hardly unprecedented, this is the first time a character from another publisher has been introduced with the intent of being a larger part of the other's universe.
......interesting.......
