To me it seemed kinda like filler until Darkseid War was gonna be released. Convergence was a good way of bringing back certain characters and a way of making publicity (good or bad).
That's all it was, really. Just a filler event until DC moved to Burbank. At least we got the Multiverse (multilpe) back and they are going to follow up with Multiverse stories. We're getting 3 books next month.

Personally I was more invested into this being turned on an Arkon ongoing than getting more Morgana as a secondary character and featuring an earthling girl.
So I won't be checking that book.
Red Wolf is getting a new series, 40 years since his last one
DC already rebooted their setting with the New 52, and prior to that with the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Marvel's first—and only—reboot is quite recent.
The reason DC and Marvel are rebooting their settings is to make it more accessible to new readers; since Marvel and DC's popularity is at its peak with blockbuster movies releasing annually.

I know that......but DC has always copied from Marvel.
The Avengers featured Marvel's all-star line-up three years after the Justice League featured DC's all-star line-up. The X-men is a rip off of DC's Doom Patrol which also featured a group of mutant outcasts. The Brotherhood of Evil, Doom Patrol's anthesis became Marvel's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, that's a rip-off right down to the name. What about the Nova Corps and the Green Lantern Corps, guess which came first?
And then there are the countless characters. From the top of my head: [list][*]Darkseid - Thanos[*]Batman - Iron Man[*]Elongated Man - Mr. Fanastic[*]Deadshot - Bullseye[*]Deathstroke - Deadpool[*]Catwoman - Black Cat[*]Green Arrow - Hawkeye[*]Braniac - Ultron[*] Superman - Gladiator/Hyperion/The Sentry[/list]

I'd argue that those two aren't really all that ripped off, early Batman certainly had very little technological enemies compared to Tony, if anything, modern Batman stole many cues from IM.
Ultron really has very little to do with Brainiac other than the fact they are both artificial life forms. Ulty isn't alien, he doesn't shapeshift, his indestructibility schtick has nothing to do with Brainiac and he really started as a throwaway character in his early appearances.
Originally posted by AstnerI found this, a comprehensive analysis on the Beyonders. It's definitely worth a read.

Is it true that the dimension they originate from (The Beyond Realm) exists outside of the omniverse proper?

They exist in a omnilock manner basically existing outside time,space, and all forms of universes and such it's even a debate can a omnipotent being even affect a "Omnilock" entity?
Pre-Retcon Beyonder in the Beyond Realm is Omnilock just as the current Beyonders.
So while the Beyonders may be considered omnipotent by the standards of Marvel they would definitely not be considered omnipotent by the standards of philosophy.
