I also note that the major changes seem to have involved, or at least seem to have been effected by means of, a gaggle of really D-list characters.
That part I'm willing to forgive -- it was a key part of the high concept of the series. And the hideous trashing of the Crisis was just Booster and Rip Hunter, so I'm not going to blame the rest. (And to be fair to them, they spend an entire page of Booster going, "Are you *sure* that I'm the person you want saving the universe here?")
But I can't believe they're going to leave it in the current state.
I assume they won't: the Marvel universe has become rather horribly morally murky for the moment, but the fact that Spider-Man (always Marvel's moral bellweather) is part of the rebellion indicates that they understand which side are the good guys. But they're letting the story play in its own good time, which makes it both more realistic and more disturbing...
