So, has anyone checked out the latest DC Comics event, Convergence, yet?
I'm really liking it. If you were a fan of DC in the 80s and 90s, you'll get a kick out of this storyline. A villain has taken different cities from different periods in DC's history and alternate-realities and they are "converging" together on one giant world.
DC hasn't said for sure if it's another universe-changing event or not. But we do know from future solicits that many tent-pole books from DC like Superman and others are starting over at #1 again. So there's a strong possibility.
You can just follow the main series, or you can explore your past favorites in spin-off series. Here's what I've gotten so far:
And then next month, Marvel is doing something almost shamefully similar, that I will also be following. Secret Wars, where their alternate realities and histories are converging together into one gigantic "Battleworld". Afterwards, it's rumored that the Marvel Universe as we knew it will be over and new Marvel Universe will begin.
As excited as I am for these events, and as much fun as they look, I'm also sad that two such universes with such long, and rich histories will be gone.
Anyone else checking these out?

I am reading the Convergence event because I want to see again some old universes like the one where Gen-13 and Azrael or even Parallax existed also the story is quite interesting, am more a Marvel fan but right now this company has nothing to offer so all my attention is right now with DC comics also want to see the results from the domes battles maybe it's because in part it reminds me the Marvel vs DC comics.
I can't afford to purchase more comics so all my reading right now are digital but as Master Stan Lee said I do prefer the real thing instead of this format : Stan Lee's thoughts about digital comics, which he compares to female breasts. "They look great on a computer," Lee supposedly states. "But I'd rather hold one in my hand."

How many people went to their local collectibles shop for Free Comic Book Day? How was yours?
I made out pretty good at my Free Comic Day. The shop only allows us to take 2 of the freebies. So I got the Secret War and DC Divergence ones. He gave me the Secet War Previews book on top of it. My shop also gave us out pick of 2 50-centers for free, so I got the two DC L.A.W. books you see below, which is focuses on their Charlton characters. The 3 Avengers books you see up top I paid for.
They did have some pretty good sales, too. And plenty of stuff in the sale, just not anything I was looking for.
