The way Convergence sloppily tried to tie together all major events was laughable(in an "embarrassed-to-be-a-fan-of-the-company" sort of way)--as was the knee-jerk retcon of COIE. This was, imo, the worst event DC has ever produced... Arguably the worst from any company.
Golgo should be ashamed of himself.

If they retcon of COIE which also retcon every reboot they had even maybe all other retcons then how everything is still looking post-flashpoint?.....So confusing damnit.
DC has finally broke there own continuity into pieces. To the point there wasn't a continuity anymore.

An alternate multiverse? Where are you getting that from? There was only one COIE. Undoing the crescendo of its events *shouldn't* have created a divergent multiverse or w/e, it should have adjusted 'mainstream' time/space accordingly...
That's why these pages display the original/pre-crisis iterations of various characters/earths faded in the background, and their current/resurrected iterations displayed in the foreground: http://i.imgur.com/dWKj6pr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UtcFO6n.jpg
It's meant to show us that the multiverse has evolved/changed over time... Which makes sense, because it has *technically* always existed now. King/Lobdell also used this plot-point as a segway to maintain the canonicity of Multiversity--ergo several of Morrison's characters/earths being featured as the current versions.
That's how I interpreted it, at least. /shrug

To be fair, it sometimes works like that in DC. Like the Supergirl story where Linda went back to take Kara's place in the Crisis, but accidentally created a divergent timeline and thus was unable to.
Funny thing: DC thought Amazon's Attack would be big, while the simultaneous Sinestro Corps War would be a minor deal.
Bloodlines is before Comichron tracks, but Amazon attack started at 55k, and ended at a paltry 39k.
Sales-wise it's probably the worse big crossover event, but even aside from that, the quality was just atrocious.
"I will send you back to the first crisis. You must prevent the collapse of the multiverse. Then everything will reset and return to what it was before I brought you all here."
And none of this contradicts what I’ve said. By preventing CoIE they effectively created (or reset if you prefer) the rest of the multiverse. The 52 universes seem to have remained unchanged from what they became after Flashpoint. Beyond that, as Galan mentioned, the Darkseid War references all the past crises including CoIE. So Mobius and Metatron still remember the Crisis happening the way it happened in the comic.
"I will send you off-panel. You will completely f*** up the entire DC multiverse. Then this entire horrible 'event' will be over and maybe everything can go back to the way it was before I started this whole mess."
