Eh.
EDIT: Expanding a bit on that "eh" my immediate take on the first batch from Convergence follows what Penguin said: DC runs the risk of opening old wounds by reminding readers of what they miss about the pre-New52 DC. Like that Lois/Clark pregnancy -- "look how happy and in love they are, and having a baby to boot! Aren't you happy for them? Now let's go back to the New52, where Lois/Clark isn't a thing, Clark's sleeping with Wonder Woman, and we'll never bring this up ever again."

You're gonna be missing a lot, plus ASM is the weakest spiderbook at the moment.

I get why it's happening, but I really wish that 2099 wasn't part of Spider-Verse. The series has barely started and it's already dragged into this.
EVERY SPIDER EVER
I wonder if any of these stories from convergence will continue after the move.

Would a Spider-Man 2099 series even exist without S-V and the stories that laid the groundwork for it?

I was enjoying the series up to that point, but the Brian Michael Bendis issue of Nailbiter is one of the most vomit inducing worst comics I have ever read. Probably only to be outdone tomorrow by Superior Iron Man.
I'm anticipating a very unsatisfying "and everyone went home." Then we get the spider-gwen series.
Let's pretend it didn't happen.

Yeah I know,, I just dropped it before this... haha.
Art looked really good so I ended up getting this issue anyways.
I realllly don't want to pick up these other books. Idk guess we'll see
Okay, Welcome Back Frank... It's been a while since I had this much fun with a book, it was just hilarious. If the entire MK run is like this, lawd.
When Frank
I lost it
"How long has it been, Mr. Bumpo?"
"About 20 minutes, mr Smith"
"We'll give it another 10"
"Okeydokey"

When Frank
choked out the Russian with Mr Bumpo...

"We'll give it another 10"

I'd honestly rather they didn't. What's the point when they just come back anyway?
I've already lost MC2 Peter and Exiles Miguel, and they're almost certainly going to kill Ben Reilly again for shits and giggles. My heart can't take much more.
Lois Lane has the power to hold a Super Baby.
How could Lois resist the metallic outside underwear?
I bought Assassin's Creed...I feel dirty.
Even though I only ended up paying 25 after rewards/coupons/GCU
Black & White Harley is coming today!
I am paying nearly full price. I can't bring myself to cancel my order. I just love these games too much. The reviews are disheartning though.
Oh and the B&W Harley is one of the best in the B&W series. Good purchase.

Nah, I'm pretty sure every Spider who doesn't have a book by the time the event is over is gonna get offed.
YES! Goddamn I need more money.
Convergence sounds pretty rad- not sure how much I'll read, but I'll give it a shot.
What makes you believe that?
Also what are the chances that Marvel moves Miles over to the 616?

Marvel seemingly wanting to collapse their multiverse & Dan Slott apparently sustaining himself off reader's tears.
They might do it, but not after Spider-Verse, as the Secret Wars promos still show him in the Ultimate Universe.
I'd bet on it post Secret Wars, when they hopefully put his universe out of its misery.
Will he be able to bring Kate or is that more heartbreak for poor Miles?

Is the framerate as bad as they say?
Spiders aren't allowed to be happy. At best, he might get Ganke out. Maybe Jess will survive on her own, too. Dating a spider may as well be a death sentence.
I'm just going to wait for a patch...still playing Mordor.

Why does it matter? You're not reading it anyways nor are you going too, so it's a moot point.

Definitely expected this to hit before Age of Ultron, glad to see it.
Between Busiek's Avengers and this I'm gonna be broke as eff next summer.

Are you talking about us or Rosell?
OH MY GOODNESS. YES. YES! THANK YOU FOR HEARING MY CRIES, MARVEL!
I literally smiled hugely when I saw that. Best news of 2014 and 2015.
Yesss. That scene was amazing. I'm so glad you're enjoying it as much as I do!
And in my opinion, the rest of the Marvel Knights run is even better than Welcome Back, Frank (though not by too much, because that wouldn't really be possible). I just love it all so much.
Somehow I haven't read Ennis/Dillon's War Zone mini yet though. I need to get on that.
Hahaha
<3
Most of these sound pretty forgettable, but I can't hate on Rucka writing Montoya Question again. And with Cully Hamner!

I'll skip out of Convergence and wait to see how they collect it all.
I've hit this wall too. I've got a big pile going to Goodwill..mostly House of M through Siege era stuff.

I bought both of them. They'll go on my enormous Kindle backlog, but a good deal is a good deal.
Look for "Tetrax: Can I Really Read the Hijinks?" soon on PS+!

OH MY GOD. At first I thought the YT video was skipping. XD
This really upsets me. I am hovering over the cancel on Amazon. I even have it preordered for months at a good price. I can't click.They can fix this right?

Maybe. But I would cancel your order until they do. They aren't gonna fucking run out. And even if they did, you could just buy the digital version. Don't pay for a broken product, Messi.

This looks like it's running on my laptop. My 2011 laptop.
One of my friends is a huge Assassin's Creed fan, and pretty much only ever boots up a console for that series (we lost him to League a long time ago). Hopefully he hasn't paid for it upfront.
And Messi, they can't really fix it. It's a bottleneck from the CPU according to Digital Foundry.
No, buy it. You like Assassin's Creed, just keep buying it until they make it better. This is your new Catwoman people.
