(I'll finish what...I read all of Convergence... (I'll finish what's left to come out) It was not very good. Had some sweet moments... but the excessively sentimental endings and completely incoherent/inconsistent editing/plot ruined what could have been a pretty decent story. I absolutely LOVED how Parallax was used. And I loved how Warlord and especially Deimos were front and center! <br /><br />Secret Wars is an odd duck. I like that it's Doom... because of course it's Doom. Makes sense. There are quite a few tie-in issues out now, but I've only read SW #1, and the new Spider-Verse so far. I was very disappointed by the horrendous art in Spider-Verse. I'm also looking forward to Old Man Logan. Also Renew Your Vows, and Future Imperfect. And the Age of Apocalypse one... I'll read 'em all, I mean- why not. But just like Convergence: if it sucks- I'll stop paying for it.<br /><br />I loved catching up on New Avengers to get ready for this. -Hated that it kept getting interrupted by other events and crossovers though...The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-25999837149512248502015-05-25T21:14:04.742-04:002015-05-25T21:14:04.742-04:00That was defintily my preferred run too as a kid. ...That was defintily my preferred run too as a kid. Once Lim left, followed very quickly my Marz, I dropped the book toot sweet, and it apppears a lot of fans did too.<br /><br />I don't get the whole stone thing either, other than his face matches, so maybe he has a secret fetish besides Death. <br /><br />SW does indeed blow Convergance out of the water. I did buy a few Convergance tie-ins, but even with the nostalgia factor(I'm a sucker for that 94 Gl era despite how badly it treated Hal), I know they weren't going to mean much....and I was proven right.<br />Looks like Parallax might save the day again ala Final Night, but they'll be kept around for future use?<br />I thought a good majority of them would be killed off per Dildo's statements and interviews, but there was a big about face(so far) ever sinc SW. I think personally, since there will be a few multiverse versions of MU charcatsr surviving post SW(don't know how many) DC scrambled to do the same. Again we'll see, but yeah.<br />Plus I'm super curious how long the after-effects of SW will last. Lots of questions man.<br />But so far, I'm seeing the SW tie-ins are of extremely better quality and edited than the Convergance ones.<br />You buy any of either(well the SW ones haven't come out yet) but what looks good to you?<br /><br />The 1872, Old Man Logan, Squadron Supreme, X-Men '92, and Inferno and X-Tinction Agenda ones look interesting to me.Mr. Morbid's House Of Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721085161381688977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37809963.post-69655248262608022742015-05-25T14:53:30.700-04:002015-05-25T14:53:30.700-04:00Excellent spotlight!

One of my favorite comic runs of all-time. <br /><br />I'm only just realizing now... but Thanos sure gets turned to stone a lot. <br /><br />Man, so far- Secret Wars is blowing Convergence out of the water... As usual: Marvel plans everything out, almost too meticulously- for years even... While DC just rushes in head-first with no plan, or cohesive editing at all. <br />-How are you liking either?The King of Thessalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406771819941242204noreply@blogger.com
