Yeah, I'm so excited (sarcasm implied), "Countdown: Arena" was my favorite DC Comics mini series (lying through my teeth), and now I get to experience the joy all over again (would make a suicide joke here if it wasn't in such poor taste).

The Convergence story arc was more than a little confusing... but I admittedly loved going back to these different "universes" that we haven't seen in a while. My favorites were definitely: (1) Wally West (This is the first time I've met his children, and I LOVED seeing Wally as a father; (2) Batman/Robin/Red Hood. (The differing dynamics between Jason's father/son dynamic with Bruce and Damian's were explored, plus we had some reconciliation--both between Bruce and Jason and between Jason and D...

Convergence is a two-month weekly comic book event that cumulates the weekly series Earth 2: World's End and The New 52: Futures End maxi-series. This trade paperback pits Flashpoint characters against various worlds, including The Extremists, Earth-C and from the Flashpoint Timeline and collects five of the forty tie-in issues: Convergence: The Atom #1–2, Convergence: Speed Force #1–2, Convergence: The Titans #1–2, Convergence: Batman and Robin #1–2, and Convergence: Harley Quinn #1–2.Convergen...

To samo, co w innych dwuzeszytowych popłuczynach po wcześniej zretconowanych seriach. Najlepszy z tego zestawienia jest The Atom, który pokazuje go jako zdesperowanego bohatera, doprowadzonego do granicy szaleństwa. Reszta wyszła tak sobie. Stara Harley Quinn pasowała nawet do tego settingu, ale to odniesienie do czasów zanim była faktycznie zabawna.

See my review of Convergence: Flashpoint, Book One.

(Read as Single Issues)Convergence ran about 25/75 good/bad. This volume does not help that percentage. This includes one of the weakest stories in a pretty terrible series, the Atom issues, where an insane Ray Palmer fights with an oversized hand against an Extremist villain. It was horrible, and broke several of the rules of the entire concept. and the Harley Quinn versus Captain Carrot takes two of the most promising universes in the crossover and utterly wastes them on each other. The Flash

IT'S THE SAME OUTCOME OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! You only need to read one or two of the instalments to understand how this whole event plays out. So much effort and resources poured in to this event, yet it's just the same story over and over again with different characters from different timelines by different artist and writers. Cookie cutter!!!!So boring. So repetitive. Such a waste of time.Conceptually, it may have seemed like a cool idea, but the execution of these "world vs world" stories

Writers: Tom Peyer, Tony Bedard, Fabian Nicieza, Ron Marz, and Steve Pugh.Artists: Steve Yeowell, Denys Cowan, Klaus Janson, Phil Winslade, and others.This Convergence collection includes the miniseries The Atom #1-2, Speed Force #1-2, Titans #1-2, Batman and Robin #1-2, and Harley Quinn #1-2.The stories are mostly so-so, with formulaic plots that don't have clear resolutions.I read the contents of this volume as individual comic books when they were published.

I had such high hopes for this event. Maybe this is the result of reading the 6 fringe titles and not the main arc.

A fair mix of stories here. A little too much of reliance by a number of stories on related adversaries (the Extremists). A couple continuity glitches between tales with reuse of certain characters.

Not bad. The Arena crossover over event. Some of the stories from that showcasing the Atom, the Flash (Wally West), Titans, Batman and Robin, Harley Quinn. A fun read if not too ground breaking.

A writer's guide for Convergence based on this volume.1) All cities are Gotham.2) The winner is the title group/hero vs. obscure you really don't care champions.3) The winner will win by something fairly bloodless.4) Misprint on the back cover contents.5) All cites are Gotham, even if the hero is from somewhere else.6) In extra features do not provide enough info about D level champions.7) Only occasionally have the title tie into FlashPoint.8) All cities are Gotham, even if this version of Goth...

Corny and cartoony to an extreme!

The Atom - 1.5 starsSpeed Force - 2 starsThe Titans - 2.5 starsBatman & Robin - 3.5 starsHarley Quinn - 4 starsOverall - 2.5 stars

(B) 75% | More than SatisfactoryNotes: Lighter, more cartoony, both in art and story tones, features kids, and adversaries (but for one) aren't so well-known.

Kolejny tom, który jest nieco śmieciowy i towarzyszy jednemu z najgorszych eventów w ramach New 52. W skład zbioru wchodzi standardowo pięć dwu-zeszytowych opowiadań, jakie ukazują losy wybranych światów, które Brainiac włączył do swojej kolekcji. Teraz są one zmuszone do toczenia walki pomiędzy sobą, aby przetrwać. I tak to wygląda. Ktoś atakuje, a dany świat się broni. Rzadko następuje to w drugą stronę. Pierwsza historia powiązana z Atomem, mimo że paskudnie wyglądająca to zaskakująco daję ra...

Collects Convergence: Speed Force issues #1-2, Convergence: The Atom issues #1-2, Convergence: The Titans issues #1-2, Convergence: Batman and Robin issues #1-2, and Convergence: Harley Quinn issues #1-2I read a first edition version of this collection, and the back of the book misidentifies what is inside this collection. The back cover states that the "Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle" issues are in this collection, however they are not. Meanwhile, the back cover doesn't show that the "Convergenc...

This volume contains the following two-issue Convergence mini-series: Atom, Speed Force, Titans, Batman & Robin and Harley Quinn. This was not a bad book. Batman has always been one of my favourite DC characters and I always enjoyed the Titans (no matter what name they went under) so this was already a book with pluses. The Atom and Speed Force stories were interesting, though since I haven't been reading a lot of DC for awhile now (or comics in general for that matter) I wasn't up to speed on c...

The Atom story was odd... but intriguing! I did not enjoy the Flash one very much, probably because I didn't like that version of Wonder Woman, although it was cute to have Zoo Crew characters in it. Loved Titans, Speedy's story always draws me in and they drew Starfire and Donna Troy so cutely! The Batman story was great, lovely art on it. The Harley Quinn story was sheer amusement!
