DC Universe meets Kingdom Come. Nuff said.
Wasn't very good, but at least it wasn't incomprehensible.
Hey, everyone who wanted to see Zero Hour era DC heroes fight their Kingdom Come counterparts, stand up and be counted.No one's standing? That's what I thought.
See my review of Convergence: Flashpoint, Book One.
Collects Convergence: Justice League International issues #1-2, Convergence: Catwoman issues #1-2, Convergence: Superboy issues #1-2, Convergence: Green Arrow issues #1-2, Convergence: Suicide Squad issues #1-2"Convergence" was an event in which a powerful entity abducted people from various worlds in the Multiverse and held them prisoner for one year. These abductees are a combination of superheroes, super villains, and regular people. Each world's/time period's people are trapped underneath th...
I thought this was fine enough. It maybe could have used a one-panel splash page describing the participants and their then-recent backstories. But it usually established at least one of the participant's backstories, the "Now You Must Fight" caused an emotional response, and the quasi-resolutions were fine. It's strange how similar this both to Secret Wars I and Secret Wars III, I think . . . .
Like most event tie-ins this one is a mixed bag. Unfortunately more poor than good. Not worth more than 2.5 stars.
Convergence is a two-month weekly comic book event that cumulates the weekly series Earth 2: world's End and The New 52: Futures End maxi-series. This trade paperback pits pre-Zero Hour characters against those from Kingdom Come Elseworld series and collects five of the forty tie-in issues: Convergence: Justice League International #1–2, Convergence: Catwoman #1–2, Convergence: Superboy #1–2, Green Arrow #1–2, and Convergence: Suicide Squad #1–2.Convergence: Justice League International is a two...
A snoozer, through and through.
Pretty forgettable. Far and away the best parts are the Babs Tarr and Claire Wendling covers.How many Kingdom Come universes are there?
Total waste of time. Insanely repetitive. Instantly boring. Conceptually, it may have seemed like a cool idea, but the execution of these "world vs world" stories falls miles short of its target.Skip the Convergence tie-in issues and only read the main Convergence storyline.1/5
The only thing that I hate worse than a bad story line, is a bad story line that has already been used before. Just read "Countdown: Arena", because it's the same bad concept.
Look, if you're going to include 'bios' to explain who these characters are to readers who aren't completely up on them, make them useful. Mention things like what version of the DC Universe they're from. This should be a basic requirement for a project like this, but it doesn't happen.Beyond that, you've got another collection of Convergence stories that all share the same basic plot - a) People are stuck in a dome for a year. b) Dome comes down with warning they'll have to fight. c) Other hero...
Niezbyt dobrze znam serie komiksowe sprzed Zero Hour, więc ciężko mi wczuć się w bijatykę pomiędzy tymi postaciami. Zabawne jest to, jak bohaterowie z Justice League International są świadome swojej niższości względem popularniejszych postaci.
I need to read the rest of the Convergence storyline. I missed it entirely and picked this up arbitrarily, mostly because I loved Kingdom Com and 90s storylines. A return to 90s Superboy? Okay, sure, I'll take that.This was a rather simple storyline. Or, the exact same storyline over and over. Various cities from different realities were trapped under a dome for a year, and then heroes were forced to fight each other. Simple. Done. The best part was the return to familiar storylines I am nostalg...
Writers: Justin Gray, Christy Marx, Ron Marz, Frank Tieri, and Fabian Nicieza.Artists: Ron Randall, Rags Morales, Claude St-Aubin, Mike Manley, Tom Mandrake, and Karl Moline.This Convergence tie-in volume collects Convergence: Justice League International #1-2, Convergence: Catwoman #1-2, Convergence: Superboy #1-2, Convergence: Green Arrow #1-2, and Convergence: Suicide Squad #1-2. The best story, by far, in this collection is Green Arrow, as he and his son Connor Hawke reunite in a way that ca...
(B) 72% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Low effort, though chimeric it's generic, and at best it's barely fine, no standouts, all bland bouts and loser storylines.
Some good stuff, some not so good - the idea itself is perhaps a little much? The power to remove so many superpowers at once is a big power!
Not that bad. I did read Convergence and enjoyed it even though it wasn't as good as Multiversity and Marvel's Secret Wars event. I feel that DC Comics goal with the Convergence event was two fold. First DC wanted to bring back old fans by gathering former DC writers, properties, and presented them in the tie-ins which would give the reader the experience of old school DC. Next DC Comics probably wanted to use Convergence to gauge the comic reading public and see what characters or titles could
