Bad Nonsense
Everybody agrees that the way Spider-Man's Brand New Day retcon is being handled in Amazing Spider-Man #592 is needlessly confusing, a retcon of a retcon, stupid... what have you. If he's unmasked, memories will all come rushing back? Do they just remember his identity, or do they remember his marriage as well? He seems to, which greatly diminishes the sacrifice he made to Mephisto (i.e. the love of his life) and makes his relationships with other girls since rather something of a head scratcher. However, everyone is missing the REAL problem with ASM 592.
The Fantastic Four and Spidey revisit a dimension they visited 2 years ago. They soon find out a lifetime has passed since they were still there. Now it becomes imperative they get home as soon as possible before the time differential makes them lose too much time (to the tune of 13+ days per hour, according to Reed's calculations). This is used to make time advance 2 months for Spidey's supporting cast, creating a new status quo that should be interesting for the reader. What's wrong with this picture?
Well, I'm not a genius like Reed Richards, but it seems to me that if time moves much more quickly in the parallel universe, then comparatively, it should move very slowly in our world - exactly the reverse of what's represented here! 4 hours in the superfast world should be mere seconds in ours!
Good Nonsense
Thankfully, the Green Lantern brick returns in the latest issue of Green Lantern Corps (#35).
I love that brick! It should get its own Darkest Night Special! And don't worry, the Sinestro Corps has a member just as ludicrous to match it:
The Midgard Serpent's friggin' cousin! Or something.
Must play havoc on the tides.

The first post about it.
What's up with all of that?
But the Green Lantern scans are indeed fabulous.
It's perfectly straightforward.
But that's not the real nonsense here. Explain the time differential snafu and you get a no-prize.
But the rest of it, yeah, makes no sense. You know, when Johns did this memory-wipe thing with the Flash a few years back, that actually worked.
