Is Convergence over? For some reason I thought it was going to last longer. Either way, I'm excited for more Gotham Academy and Grayson. I need to check out Midnighter as well.

I enjoyed the main series a lot, some interesting stuff was done in it. Quite a few of the tie ins turned out really well. Specially Shazam, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Superboy with the Legion, The 90s Superboy one, and the JSA one just to name a few off the top of my head.

I also liked Superman, Adventures of Superman and Matrix Supergirl, to add to your list.

Have you noticed how announcements like Marvel's seem to make a lot of comics fans really angry?

YOU'RE DOING WHAT TO MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER? THERE'S TOO MANY WHITE PEOPLE. THERE'S TOO MANY BLACK PEOPLE. GRRRR.

Quite entertaining really.

Justice League 41 was great. I'm excited to see this fight. Shame it'll probably be a few issues away.

Midnighter 1 was good too even having no previous knowledge of the character.

Green Arrow 41 I'm kind of cold on. Nothing felt unique and it all read pretty generic to me.

Still have a few issues from yesterday I hope to read today.

Oh, I haven't read any of them! I just noticed the Midnighter release and a bunch of new #1s for the old books like Action Comics and Justice League and was surprised because I thought Convergence was going to last another month for some reason.

I think All New Hawkeye would be better without the flashbacks.

I'd agree except the flashbacks look soooooooo good

Batman Beyond was OK to pretty good. It's kind of weird that we're really going to go down the path of "Tim inserts himself into every part of Terry's life in a weird doppelganger replacement", right off the bat. I mean these are nostalgia things that only Terry fans would know so why include them? Why not make a fresh break.

I'm quite looking forward to a clean break. There's a lot of series' I would have liked to jump into but when they're 40 or so issues in, it's a bit intimidating. I hope there's a Black Panther solo book.

jon bones

hot hot hanuman-on-man action
copped & read the first 4 issues of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

i... don't think i "get" it. i love quirky stuff like Superior Foes, Ms Marvel and the like but this strikes me more like Slott's She-Hulk which i also wasn't a huge fan of.

On the Mad Max thingie, it works far better if you imagine Wake in Fright being the prequel to Mad Max 2.

I can't think of the last time I enjoyed a story because of Peter. He has some great small moments but by in large he just does nothing for me. When he got control of his body back in Superior most were fist pumping but I was like...

Wow, Gambit actually recommended Ultimate Hawkeye to kids... you know, the one where his family is killed by Black Widow.

My pull list is wide open for Marvel to impress, mainly since i dropped all DC and waiting for Secret Wars tie-ins to hit MU.

How many of you guys/girls/squids wait 2 months to buy DC digital books after the price drop? So far it looks like i'll want to pick up the Bizarro trade and maybe Justice League digitally.

Those are all ongoings. I think Prez is a mini, along with Section 8 and some others.

Power Girl and Harley is definitely a mini series.

"Stephane Roux will now be launching a Harley Quinn/Power Girl mini-series to go alongside the Harley Quinn series."

I could have sworn I saw that about Starfire too but I guess I'm wrong.

There were like 4 or 5 titles that had 6 issue mini-series next to them but I can't find the announcements now.

"From the writers of the outrageous smash hit HARLEY QUINN comes former Outlaw Starfire in her all-new ongoing series! She’s an alien warrior princess trying to find peace on Earth, and she’ll fight anyone and anything to get it!"

Yeah I'm wrong about Starfire, seems its just Bat-mite, Bizarro, Power Girl and Harley, and Section 8 that are minis. I really could have sworn there was another one, but I guess not.

I was ready to dislike Spider-verse #1 but it was a fun spidey diversion. I don't think this event is strong though and hasn't felt like it's gone anywhere despite it literally spanning the multiverse.
