Why is that Red Lanterns never did anything like this with Atrocitus?

You need to get across that this is a world where everyone is a wrestle-man, not just the one guy.

This week's Sneak Peeks, y'all https://www.comixology.com/FREE-DC-Sneak-Peeks/list/6845 Batgirl, Black Canary, Constantine: The Hellblazer, Cyborg, Earth 2: Society, Harley Quinn, Justice League United, Sinestro, Superman/Wonder Woman, The Flash, We Are Robin and Batman, Justice League and Superman which were in the FCBD comic. e: We Are Robin looks great  ee: Whoa at JL United. It seems completely influenced by Jonathan Hickman's Avengers, but that's all good! eee: For the hilarious fart that was Convergence (main series,) The E2:Society book spinning out is gorgeous. The new E2 Batman's cowl has an upper lip protector. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 14:52 on May 27, 2015 |

So...Convergence #8 came out. I have no idea what happened. Did they somehow undo Crisis on Infinite Earths? Are there still 52 Earths or are we still going full hypertime? Also what was the point of the old Earths coming back if it turns out that they got overwritten into new ones anyway?

Was Constantine always this cavalier regarding the whole getting ladies skinned alive by demons from another world thing? Because if so, I think the new Constantine book will be alright.

Convergence had a good ending but it was obviously padded to fit on two months. The story could've been told on half of the issues with ease. Other than having Deimos (who could've been replaced with another baddie) the whole plot about Skartaris was pointless. And rather than making every universe available to writers I'd say it only made canon (as in actually referencing them) the 52 universes introduced by Morrison on Multiversity. The Convergence tie ins on the other hand were all over the place, for the event the only one that mattered was Booster Gold (neat twist about Waverider by the way) while all the remaining ones were of varying quality and interest. Now about this week Sneak Peeks Cyborg presents an interesting if somewhat convulted premise, definitely gonna pick up to see what's up with that. If JLU can deliver at least half of what is promising on the sneak is gonna be one of the best series ever. Earth 2 was terrible, is such a massive shift on tone to Convergence's ending (that is supposed to be a follow up to) and it seems to be grim and gritty just because. New Batman was cool though. Superman Wonder Woman, lost me. The idea is interesting on paper but the execution is weird and seems unnecesarily dramatic. Then again, Tomasi work on the series hasn't been of my liking Sinestro was solid but I'm not really keen on another "the GLC is utterly hosed up " story. We'll see, I guess. As expected, Constantine was awful Tynion just doesn't know how to put subtlety on its writing. A shame really, N52 Constantine (and its most recen apearances) was one of my favorites. I just can't buy We are Robin's premise. Is just absurd in the context of the wider DCU. Again and again writers have made a point of vigilantism not being something to take lightly (and we've seen Bruce fail plenty of times to drive the point home) and suddenly a bunch of kids are such badasses that can be effective vigilantes? Bullshit. If it was a story set apart of the DCU it would be really good but as it stands now, meh. Didn't care for Harley Quinn, Black Canary or Batgirl

You hated literally every book I liked. Even Earth 2 was pretty cool I thought. I didn't read Sinestro because I don't give a gently caress about green Lantern. The whole point of Divergence is to make good books, continuity be damned, so you criticism of We are Robin is pretty off the mark.

The 52 Constantine was awful and I hope he gets back to awesome character he was. The last time he was good was his appearance in Swamp Thing.

If the story would be self contained you'd had a point, but they've made clear is fully involved with the rest of the Batman books (they've hyped the meeting of the robins with Gordon for example) making the premise incongruent with the setting.

Black Canary was fun and I am now looking forward to the title if there are more rock and roll shenanigans. Always got love for rock and roll shenanigans. We are Robin seemed solid enough. Kind of an update on the whole Sons of Batman thing, and I am curious to see how it works with the other Bat-titles there. JLU seems kind of bonkers. Might be in for a fun ride, but I agree with some posters about Foreman's art. I like his more body horror stuff but his stuff in JLU just seemed off, and not a good fit for the book.

That it makes it worse actually, because it also means Bruce is not there to protect them. See, my problem with this kind of concepts is that these character can be either normal kids ot}r someone that by bullshit comic book magic are able to fight muggers withot getting killed but not both. Specially on the N52 Gotham. We spent some issues with Harper trying and failing to be a vigilante, Eternal devoted a lot time to (poorly) chronicle Steph's grew into the Spoiler so the idea of a bunch of kids being able of to make a difference by themselves in a world where super villians exist is absurd.

Dick is now someone unknowingly bred to be an assasin by a secret order, Jason never stole the Batmobile tires and was on his way to be killed before being picked up by Bruce, Tim loving things up by messing with Gotham's underworld is a HUGE part of his origin now and Damian is a genetically engineered to be Batman's succesor.

I dont see how the idea of Robin is any weirder than Bruce being like 27 and a master of every martial art and genius in every field is. This poo poo is by nature implausible.

Do you seriously think We are Robin isn't going to address this? Like I'll be amazed if they go a year without killing off at least one Robin. This was an eight page preview designed to get people interested in the book, they're not going to lead with the kids loving up and being awful at crime fighting.

I don't see why it's impossible to have a sort of sliding scale of disbelief in place for We Are Robin given one effectively already exists with reference to everything else in DC.

I really enjoyed Shazam!, and would have more interest in a monthly book of forties-style adventures from him than I do in literally any of DC's books going forward. The fact it has a preview for the new Hellblazer in the back is just bizarre, though. I don't understand why DC's marketers aren't even capable of putting previews of books aimed at certain demographics at the back of Convergence tie-ins those demographics might be likely to be reading, and have arranged them seemingly literally at random instead.

Constantine is a bit too much of a "HERE IS OUR NEW DIRECTION THAT IS OLD BUT IN TRENDY CLOTHES OKAY", but I am interested in the ongoing, hope for more bastard Constantine. Black Canary is amazing.

Still, the Batman corner of the DC has been pretty isolated from the rest of the universe so it was easier to believe Batman's feats. And speaking of Flash. The Sneak Peak surprisingly wasn't horrible (despite some of the worst work I've seen from Booth. Although I'm keeping my expectation very low.

Pfft, wasted opportunity to not show a glimpse of the CW DCTV Universe in that last Convergence issue. I don't dislike this newest, vaguest, most subjective status quo of the multiverse, but its imprecise and ambiguous nature is probably gonna make it far more prone to being screwed up than anything we've had up to now. I will be utterly shocked if DC doesn't manage to do so within a handful of years, leading them to order yet another reboot. In any case, Convergence: Shazam ended up being my favorite Convergence thing. Probably even more than The Question.
