The big, irritating difference is DC is using all these Crisis events to f*ck with their history & timelines - AGAIN. Marvel may be forced into this someday, but at least their events are just charting for the present, not re-setting the past.

Indeed. What issues even casually MENTIONED the war?
Green Lantern. Green Lantern Corps. A passing mention in Supergirl, and a single blue beetle tie in, no?
I could see someone calling Sinestro Corps War a Lantern 'event,' considering that it tied the continuities of both Lantern books together for several issues. I could not see them calling it a 'DC Event.'
Just like Superman and Action Comics tied together for Up, Up, and Away wasn't a DC event, though I could see someone calling it a 'Superman event.'

actually Up Up and Away did have other heroes in it. They came in to stop Luthor. So I guess thats an event too then. and the SC had the heroes in appearance. They barely did anything at all. The Green Lanterns did all the work.

I think you're overreacting. Infinite Crisis hardly messed with the time line in the same way the original Crisis did. The most notable change to any character's history was Superman and finding out he was in the Legion.
Meanwhile, Secret Invasion is set to invalidate a ton of Marvel history. When is the last time we saw the real Black Bolt?
Nah...they'll just boost another characters powers and make them have a nervous breakdown. Then they'll slowly retcon the whole event over the next 10 years.
Besides...according to this there's some reality warper inside/outside of 616 Earth controlling/compressing time in the 616 Dimension.
One day StanLee will regain control and decide that the last 20 years of continuity were all inside a snowglobe that FranklinRichards was playing with.

Now there's a grisly and scary prospect. How many supervillains and heroes have died in the last 10 years of DC comics? Assuming IC didn't retcon things like the Rann-Thanagar war, etc.
Hell, even Apokolips and New Genesis...nm. DOTNG is going to remove those 2 from the equation. But what about Oa or Daxam? There are countless planets with genocide and millennia worth of dead bodies.
How the hell do you stop a dead man's hand? And CAN you defeat a lantern corp, that adds to it's numbers everytime they kill someone?

*raises a hand to counter the point, but thinks better of it* I can't really argue against that. Black Hand was a shitty C or D lister for a long time. Back in Gl vol. 2 issue.......5 (IIRC) after Rebirth, he came back. Spectre nuked his hand, but some weird space gremlins (that spoke German for some reason........) boosted his powers. He started draining life from people and looking like a zombie, which incidently, restored his hand. Hal buried him, but.....there was some commentary, that in retrospect, foreshadows Blackest Night.
so obviously this one has been in the works awhile.

I have a feeling that in terms of retconing, One More Day will take away a lot more than Secret Invasion. Secret invasion actually looks like a good and fun story
