This is going to be tangentially related to the Flash... But, I'm mainly wanting to rail on Convergence and the new, improved (tm), revamped DC Universe.
Yuck.
I think after 40 years and all the changes, a Crisis on Infinite Worlds, a Zero Hour, an Infinite Crisis, a Final Crisis, and a Flashpoint leading to a disgustingly tepid new-52niverse... DC has finally lost me. The Convergence was fun, some books were great, most were not. It was great to see the *real* Superman, JSA, Blue Beetle and Marvel Family again. Unfortunately, and I doubt this is what DC had in mind when they planned this thing, seeing them again just highlighted how horrid their new universe actually is. Everybody in it, from Superduperman (of the newly underwearless look) to Space-Blue-Beetle are prats at best, assholes at worst. Not one of them is anybody I would ever want to be friends with, let alone read about.
And is it just me, or was issue 8 of the actual "Convergence" book just the DC version of the last 10 minutes of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? All the "heroes" just standing around over the fallen body of the villain discussing what happened and where to go from there, just to disperse and go about their business as Porky Pig shoo-ed them away... "Th-th-th-th-that's All Folks!"
Then I started reading the "Sneak Preview" cbr files I found online... Holy CHRIST are they bad. Every. Single. One. (Exception... Justice League, the Darksied War looks fun) What they've done to Black Canary, for example, is patheticly lame. And what's with a new costume for Flash? And the most ungodly horrendously hideously ugly costume ever, at that! I thought the New 52 retro-fit costumes were hideous, they were high fashion compared to what's coming.
That's it. Just had to vent.
See ya DC. It was a fun ride.
