There are a lot of diverse offerings. You have the very well thought out books like Action Comics being a year one tale about Superman as a less powerful people's hero. Then you have the books with returning creative teams that are really good like Detective Comics and Snyder. Then you have books that are fun. Fun can also mean controversial. Red Hood and the Outlaws and Voodoo have been hailed as controversial cheesecake but to me they're fun. The weaving the Wildstorm Universe has been interesting as has been the characters Vertigo has traditionally had control over.
Events are not something that need be scheduled. There are alot of books that are too braggy "Things will never be the same", "See the new status quo", and similar statements are over hyped. Massive crossovers are also not welcome. Making people spend hundreds of dollars on books that don't tie into each other is a bad idea.
The new 52 has a great diversity in stories. It has war stories, cheesecake pinup stories, detective stories, action stories, and westerns. What it should also try it's hand at is the lost genres of comics. The romance comics, the kids stories, and the kung fu comics.
More on the kids stories. Get the kid audience with cheap, in continuity, great stuff. Bring back Marvin and his Monster (a great Calvin and Hobbes like story from a long time ago). Sugar and Spike (I think it's time to revive that comic). Horror books. Move away from the easy money and get kids who will be fans for life. It doesn't have to be Archie but an all ages book shouldn't pander to the lowest denominator.
