Convergence #0 signed

Noooo, DC, nooooooo.... DC comics has turned the keys to the DC Multiverse over to Jurgens and King, and it has produced diminished results. Superman and Braniac have a chat for 36 pages, and produce little momentum towards the excitement that, for example, Grant Morrison's far superior Multiversity series has accomplished. While Convergence points towards the thrilling diversity of the worlds of DC Comics, it does not celebrate it preferring to stick with the recent stale 90s-ness of too many New52 titles. Van Sciver's art is impressively detailed but also serves to highlight the charmless seriousness of this effort. I wish the start to this potentially fascinating event was engaging, but it's a pretty useless non-starter. The best part is the overview of the worlds of the DC multiverse that will be represented in Convergence, which raises hopes for more diverse approaches to comics creation moving forward than Convergence #0 expresses.
