DC - Convergence Spring Event

[Admiral_Young]

Jeff Kring at a con apparently stated that creators will be able to use the pre-52 characters but then Rich stated that he was told afterwards he wasn't supposed to say that so maybe they were waiting for SDCC to announce that.

As mentioned by myself and others earlier in the thread and in the regular 52'Verse thread "Convergence" was nothing more than dressed up filler to cover the two month move to Burbank from New York. It was spun as a way for those of us who were missing previous characters to see them again. It was never meant to be an event...their actual event is the just starting "Darkseid War". If it were a true event there would have put their marquee creative teams on the book, but it was also designed to give them a break while making the move. I hope fans understand this. It also took many different forms over the course of the several months that it was put together and originally according to Rich, they were considering not putting out any books for the move, just going dark.

I did give a chance but ultimately decided to drop it. I had a mostly DC free couple of months with the exception of the "Arkham Knight" book and "He-Man: The Eternity War".

I finally finished Convergence and I'd say my overall impression of it that is was just "ok". At least they kind of resolved the Earth 2 characters' fates, although I can't say I like the preview of where Earth 2: Society is going. I'll give it a shot but that may be it for my interest in Earth 2 for now.

Paralax and a few others who do not trust Paralax were sent back into the original Crisis.

That could seem like an interesting story.

It's almost like they forgot that Zero Hour established that the hand Kronos saw creating the beginning of the Universe, was Hal Jordans.



Blue Beetle defeated the Legion of Super Heroes.

Ah-mazzing.

So, not having bothered reading Convergence, is there any clue on where Multiversity stands in the DCU or was that something entirely unto its own in the end?

Convergence changed nothing.

But if you have the right technology, you can visit or observe any world at any time thought to have been destroyed by a Crisis, because nothing was destroyed and it's all still trucking alone fine in a not too distant different dimension.

Morrison sniffs his own farts, hard.

All convergence did is make us aware of a piece of information we were ignorant about, but had always been there if we had bothered to look.

On the sitcom "Your Family or Mine" last week, Ed Bagley Junior is dress rehearsing a speech he just wrote, to his family in the lounge at home, for an award he thinks that he is receiving, but prefaced first "Hey, has anyone ever heard of this "spellcheck" thing on the computer? It's great, it's a revelaitron, you just push a button and it checks your spelling, you should all really try it sometime."
