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. 👆

Nah, Bloodlines is still the worst event ever. This came close though.
I say even Bloodlines doesn't top Amazon's Attack.

Yeah, I agree. The Wetworks felt very unfamiliar. And the whole crossover with Batman was awful. However, there are some gems in the mix, I thought. Like any crossover, you're going to have some good and some bad.
Kinda a shotgun approach. Rucka's books were good.

It shows he isn't a fan of dc history and doesn't care what they release. As long as the dc logo is there golgo will love it.

It's time travel. They created an alternate multiverse where CoIE didn't happen.
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:

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.
quanchi112Maybe it was a filler event. Hurry up and check the sales numbers for those months.
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.

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."
