Convergence: The Worst Event in DC History

You guys like Convergence? Cause I sure don't. I remember when this event came out how I hyped I was for it. It promised one last visit with plenty of classic DC characters. But it was actually a nine issue money-sink of Telos and his friends from Earth 2. This book is bad.

[@marcusjavier8901]

I actually like the tie-ins than the real event

[@jonathanelvey2444]

True the tie ins are better than the convergence main story

[@michaelfletcher4423]

Me too, especially the original Earth 2 tie-ins with the JSA and Infinity, Inc.

[@ThePonderer]

An event that’s just an ad for tie-ins? So...standard DC fare then? Gottem.

[@jonathansoko1085]

The tie ins were in fact, great and the best part

[@hambone.thefleshthatbinds]

At this point I'm just going to assume that I'm one of like maybe 3 or 4 people that actually like Identity Crisis

[@marcusjavier8901]

I like identity crisis although it have problems

[@fishin4bass2002]

I love your brutal honestly especially when you basically give the reason why people can’t get into comics and the cost of a comic compared to a Netflix subscription or movie.

[@TevyaSmolka]

God convergence sucked the only good stories to come out of this trainwreck were the tie ins and that’s about it.

[@marcusjavier8901]

True and it set up one of the best superman runs ever which is Peter J Tomasi & Patrick Gleason run on Superman

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@marcusjavier8901 indeed and you're right about that in fact if it wasn't for convergence we wouldn't have gotten both the excellent Peter J Tomasi Superman or Dan Jurgans excellent superman Lois and Clark series which introduces us to Jonathan Samuel Kent as his 10 year old self.

Tie-Ins made Convergence readable indeed

[@davidmount2483]

So this is basically DCs version of marvel secret wars but done terriblely

[@daxecutioner101]

Superman Doomed was pretty good, even though it was bloated and way to long

[@Tanneroo]

Yep. I bought this comic and now I’m going to cut it up and make artwork Out of it to make my money back

[@texasscifi3431]

The first issue is the backstory between the different cities with 1 year alone under the dome. The second is the fight. Harley bests Captain Carrot being a psychologist. It was a fun event like Secret wars. It not executed as well as that series was because it didn't take itself seriously whatsoever. I feel bad about Earth 2. They really didn't get much out of convergence other than a new Earth. Which later was found to be flawed until the just re write reality at the end of Earth 2 timeline as a cop out.

[@stephen8805]

Hey Robert Vendetti had a good run on Green Lantern. And he only had two cross over events, God head was awesome.

[@mechmaster315]

Heroes in Crisis can now be settled as Savitar caused the whole thing

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

maybe they could have said telos was wanting power on a massive scale but his father told him he wasn't ready, but then brainiac and his farther get together and to test him he starts the convergance!?

[@austinreed7343]

And “The Button” thus acted like this crossover never happened.

[@texasscifi3431]

My favorite noart was Thomas Wayne and Bruce awayne having their talk we wanted since Flashpoint. And the birth of Jon Kent. Superboy

[@nicktroisi6347]

The best thing that came out if this was the Pre-New 52 Superman and Lois replacing their god awful New 52 counterparts. Oh and also they have a son and got their own series which proved to be one of the greatest runs in modern DC History

[@caseyflynn666]

ha i got the main story in 1 trade for 4.99 at olies though i didn't know that much about it before getting it though, i think i got a good deal on this

[@RandomAllen]

The tie ins were good

[@davicarvalho124]

Both Metal events took the podium as the worst events by a large margin.

[@jetcustomsdbz5821]

No wonder I can get the complete series for 15$ now

[@PacoSlimee]

I mean.... I like Earth 2. But I think I'm the only person who does. Regardless this does sound like a pretty bad story.

[@infinitycomics9049]

Earth 2 was pretty good, I just didn't like that they were the focus for an event about DC history.

[@PacoSlimee]

@@infinitycomics9049 Oh I totally get it. The idea of a story about multiverses colliding not actually focusing on that sounds super dumb.

[@WillTower19]

Me too. I've really enjoyed earth 2 and the End of word arc

[@TheNickcone]

I enjoyed Earth 2 as well. I did not expect it to be as fun as it was. I'd be down for DC to revisit it as its own thing.

[@beardupbeerdown7355]

Earth 2 was the best New 52 book until post-Convergence.

[@swapnilkale5455]

This was a blatant rip-off of Secret Wars 2015. What's worse is that while Secret Wars is one of the best events in modern Marvel history, Convergence is everything what an event should not be.

[@goom-]

i think convergence started shortly before secret wars so no, it's not at blantant as you think

[@CloroxBleach-qy7vy]

Convergence was out a month before secret wars and was teased during the earth 2 new 52 run

[@benprewitt4600]

Yeah...I dig the New 52 and Future's End. My big heartbreak for this crossover was that it was basically the end of New 52. Which I'm not quite sure why you centered this on, but whatever. It's cool. So okay.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Ben Prewitt I didn’t because I hated futures end it was really awful and ruined another one of my favorite characters terry McGinnis for bullshit

[@ValentineCorp]

Do Final Crisis!!

[@zechboidavidson]

Bro is this dc secret wars

[@joeker5208]

I don’t hate Identity Crisis. It’s not a favorite. But I do enjoy reading it

[@bridge2space]

Futures End was actually pretty cool. I quite enjoyed it and I hated most of the New 52 (except for Batman).

[@beardupbeerdown7355]

...and then Marvel copied the idea for the even-worse Secret Wars 2. 😂

[@jonathansoko1085]

IT wasnt that bad my dude. Seeing as you have a non sensical emotional response to the new 52, im not surprised. IF we debated, you would get absolutley embarrassed, theres more good than bad but you would just cry and stomp your feet the entire time.

[@007southpaw]

Holy shit, this sounds absolutely atrocious.

[@king7795]

it wasnt that bad come on brainiac just went mad

[@beardupbeerdown7355]

Earth 2 was the best New 52 book until this event ruined their story.
