All the heroes of the DC Universe unite to face a crisis of infinite proportions - but when all is done, there can be only one reality. But will even that survive the battle?

BONUS REVIEW by John "Doc" Schaefer


I remember a book DC put out 30 years ago called DC Challenge. Every issue would be written and drawn by a different creative team but focus around two or 3 general plot points. I kept hoping that Convergence would follow in that same mold. Up until the last issue, I hoped that the creative team would pull this out of the bag and make it all worthwhile. Instead I am met with an ending that has no conclusions. Nothing is resolved and if I am reading this right (I admit it took multiple reading to make some sense.) some version of the multiverse is back. Everything that transpired in Convergence never happened (Holy Bobby Euwing, Batman!) And DC gets to restart roughly 1/2 the New 52 Universe all over again with new #1's? Bizarro #1? We Are Robin #1? I would love to have seen the flow chart for keeping the storyline focused. It must have taken up three walls of the production office!

I give it 4 out of 10 Grahams
