So what does everyone think.

meh. sounds like one more confusing mess. 40 2-part minis?! lol yeah, doesn't sound complicated or hard to follow. not sounding awesome to me.....

hope the artwork is good....

I'm not really down with this idea, DC just needs to commit to the reboot.

It never takes them long to mess with continuity. I love it. Bring back the confusing shenanigans. I can't wait to see the 100+ questions they leave open after answering 2-3 about overall continuity. Bonus points if they manage to squeeze pre-original-crisis stuff in there too.

...I may just stop reading Marvel and DC all together when this BS begins.

I'm with Galan, this is becoming ridic.

Chill, guys. This is just a filler event. It's only going to run a few months, so everyone can transition to the move to Burbank, Ca. DC confirmed this month's ago.

Don't care how long ago it was confirmed. It's still stupid.

Anyway, this goes all the way back to a question I posed a few years ago:
The New 52... Will it last?
Yep, even back then it seemed like this sort of thing(ie. pre-Flashpoint DC being reintroduced) was left as a strong possibility--but now, DC is fully opening that can of worms... Called it, though. #Precog #IMightBeGod

The new 52 is still going to last, though. Sales have been healthy and the highest it's been since the 60's. I doubt they're going to reboot it, but anything is possible.

Their target audience, tbh, is me, and those like me. They want to keep their current sales while placating those who felt shafted by Flashpoint with characters and titles they had followed for years. Because that's exactly what drove me away. Otherwise there's a decent chance I'd still be picking up 3-4 books a months. With the original crisis, the fandom wasn't what it was, so their world-erasing shenanigans were easier to sweep under the rug.

Not gonna lie; I'm going to read it. I doubt it will bring me back though.

Also I think PG was right when he said Golgo was a DC PR guy.

Supposedly, only one universe will remain. Quite similar to Marvel's Secret Wars/Battleworld.

Can't wait for the Wetworks to appear again. Been waiting a while, so I hope DC has plans after Convergence.

By similar do you mean exact copy of an ongoing series? Not saying marvel doesn't copy stuff but

Damn.

One world will be left for Marvel. One universe will be left for Dc. Or one reality. Plus the whole alternate reality battles that will be taken place.

Can't wait to see what roles Injustice characters will have.

Convergence is gonna start because of Secret Wars just like Crisis did.

lol at this ridiculousness

Both events have been years in the making. Hard to say which one came first.

That would be the first and only time PG was right about something better.

I think Secret Wars likely came first. It has actual lead-up comics for, like, the last two years or so (Hickman's work).


Meanwhile, the out-of-universe events leading to this, the consolidation of DC's offices, took about as long, but DC tends not to plan so far ahead.


And both companies turn to this sort of thing a lot. So, yea. No-one can really claim originality.

I know this may be an extraneous comment but is that Wally on the 'Speed Force' cover with his children?

Superman and Wondy get a new looks post-Convergence.

Wonder Woman at least looks passable but I don't know what they are doing with Supes.

Horrible.

Wonder Woman's has way too much going on. I appreciate attempts to put her in pants, but the costume just needs... less.

agree.

The wrist swords are unnecessary, there's like 2 too many stars and the boots look clunky.

Women can't show skin guys.

What are you, misogynistic neckbeard monsters?

Wonder Woman's forearm swords and shoulder pads are unneeded. If they want to put her in a suit of armor then do it. Don't go quarter way with spandex and hooker boots and shit.

Superman isn't even a costume. He's just a color change Superboy with bloody handkerchiefs on his hands. I don't even understand why they felt the need to change him. Did he feel his invulnerable suit was too much? He wanted to be casual with denim and a cheaply made shirt at the mall?

not sure if that's gonna be his actual costume. I hope not. he looks like a

Suoerman can't possibly look any dumber.

Superman basically looks like an adult Connor. Digging Batman's new look.

Batman looks like a cross between Blue Beetle and War Machine

I know some people complained about the New 52 costumes, but I always felt like they were modern reimagings of what they had before. These just feel like complete departure.

I like that when I look at Batman I get the sense that he's just a part of a cannon fodder army.

I don't know how anyone could **** up Batman that bad

Another set of changes, although these are not as drastic and I don't mind them.

Green Arrow looks fine. Both Superman and Batman look like they're not ****ing around anymore. Even the solits say, "No holding back."

i admit Superman does look more badass in that pic with mecha-Batman.

DC needs to stop trying to give Diana pants. They suck at it.

If they want to modernize her look, give her pteruges, a cuirass or breastplate and greaves and leave her the hell alone.

Plus he has blood everywhere. I wonder if Pak is going to pull a World War Superman.

Superman's fists are way too big.

Batman uses guns now?

Bat? That's a rabbit

Just when I thought this event couldn't look any shittier....

ermm

That's probably not Bruce. Solicitation says a NEW Batman.

Comics and continuity, take each issue as a separate aspect of a loosely connected whole and you'll be fine. No such thing as true continuity has ever existed, all writers versions of each character exist simultaneously. All of them exist out there in comics somewhere, then as now. :-) Enjoy the issue forget the idea of continuity.

Diana's new look is actually OK, for me.
Those blades are most probably retractable.
The only thing they need to get rid of is that spandex covering her arms and legs.
