johnnyphreak's Convergence #2 - The Planet Incarnate review

A Meeting In Time

I get that this is basically a filler story while DC moves their offices from NYC to California. But the issue I have with Convergence is that if you aren’t reading the Earth-2 book or don’t know of these characters then everything is confusing. I thought that the books would be tales from characters we hadn’t heard from in a while. But this is much similar to Marvel’s Secret Wars that is about to happen. Multiverse characters coming together to battle each other for their lives. This issue is decently action packed mainly focusing on Dick Greyson, who is not a Robin and Thomas Wayne aka The Batman.

Why this is happening is still a bit muddled. Telos under the guidance of Brainiac is controlling these worlds forcing them to battle. I did enjoy the action scenes when they happen. I’m a fan of Jay Garrick and he gets some nice moments. The highlight of the issue is once in lifetime meeting of Thoman and Bruce Wayne. That stop in the action made the saving grace of the issue. I’m continuing the story just to see where it goes. But there aren't that many characters I’m invested in. Which I think will hurt issues going forward when characters start to be killed off.

That is a lot of plates for television writer, showrunner, and comic writer new guy Jeff King to balance. King has be...

OK story that continues directly after the last one's conclusion, with Earth 2 heroes trapped and then fighting Telos, but by the end there is still not much of plot developmentThere is a lot of focus on Grayson as he becomes the narrator of much of this issue. This was a great decision in my opinion, first with a flashback to the last seconds of Earth 2 which was good, very emotional; then the fight with Telos which was the weakest part of the issue with a lot of unnecessary dialogue and not ve...
