For all of the hype of a new status quo at the end of "52", it looks like DC brought back the multiverse, (after a 20+ year absence), simply for the over-hyped noise-fest that was "Countdown". What is more, DC is now ignoring "Countdown". (When I post my comic reviews next week, there will be some examples of this.)
The "Countdown" teaster image promised more definitive plots than were actually delivered. In many cases, the plots and characters just reverted (for no reason other than "they had to") to the pre-"Countdown" status quo. Avoiding the mistakes of "Countdown" should be easy for any half-way intelligent person. I would not worry too much about it. (If you have a basic plan when you sit down to write something, and you can have one page logically follow from the next, you are doing better than Dini and co.)
