Can’t wait for eventual Omnibus collecting everything, including the breakout character Telos’s series!
DC: *Destroys the Injustice Universe*
Also DC: Here's Injustice 2 like 2 years later!
They’ve been weird about that.
The implication seems to be that there’s multiple Injustice 2 universes.
@@Dragonage2ftw especially cause Brainiac is the main villain of all of them
@@Dragonage2ftwif the multiverse is infinite that’s obviously true
Kingdom Come Superman must fight for Deimos because he's mad that the New 52 represents everything he hates in Kingdom Come.
Quote and print that: "This is the platypus of Crises."
only series where my local comic shop actually bagged the entire series and sold it as a bundle at like 75% off like the day after it ended and still didn't sell it.
Well, Convergence sucked, but we have Post-Crisis Superman out of this.
spiderbatman97 It made it all worth it
spiderbatman97 yep and that's the best part
Also for people that want to read the "Golden Age" of Post-Crisis Superman i suggest to read since "Exile" (1988) trhought "The Fall of Metropolis" (1994). Not saying that all that came afterward was bad, but it never got to that quality again until Rebirth.
I loved Geoff John's run on Action Comics 2008-2009 since it gave us the best Brainiac story and the best General Zod story ever.
***** The whole Busiek/Johns era Post-Infinite Crisis and before New Krypton is pretty great in general, Camelot Falls was the business back in the day.
Convergence was weird because despite being a huge, continuity-laden story, it was written by Jeff King, who hadn't written any comics before. And considering the reveal that Telos was actually Arak, Son of Thunder, I think King is just a big Warlord fan, so he put all that into Convergence.
That one guy on the left. Who calls himself Ethan.
I can't put my finger on who he is.
...And then DC editorial comes in and says, "Now I'm the villain of this story!"
The Titans Tie-In is really good. Gives a happy ending to Post-Crisis Roy Harper/Red Arrow.
Stopping the original Crisis would cause so many kinks in the overall timeline of the multiverse, it would bend over itself backwards to the point it becomes a ouroborous style singularity, yet they had the gall to not show anything from the event itself?!
Sorry Sorry but I have to say it, ETHAN GOT A HAIRCUT!!!!!!!!!!!
The RED Samurai Ethan got a lot of hairs cut!
Then Perhaps I should say HAIRSTYLE!!!!!!
The RED Samurai he looks like injustice nightwing
Someone finally said it.
that's Ethan?
"If he doesn't have a planet anymore, DAFUQ are his powers?!"
- Ben, 2016
Hated this Book, but loved the tie-ins.
Robert Devlin Isn't that the general consensus with this mess?
Incintos 98 Yes
This one is one of my favorite episodes. Just seeing Ethan and Ben's brains melt with all the nonsensical BS in this book. I always get a good chuckle out of it.
Convergence??
Sal is gonna rip this apart.
And hoo boy does he! Although not as hard as Comic Infinity.
I love that to me, Ethan's "That doesn't make any goddamn sense!" has become the catchphrase i am waiting for each episode. LOL!
Excuse me.... but seeing the Justice League International and The Charlton Heroes getting a little love was worth a throw-away event in my book :)
Thanks for doing Convergence. It was so confusing when I was reading the series. Not that the Back Issues version wasn't any less confusing, but it was way more entertaining.
BTW checked publications dates. Convergence #0 was April 2015 and Rebirth began in June 2016. Yup Ethan was right, that bar was set pretty darned low.
My god, I heard Convergence was terrible but I seriously had no clue just HOW bad! You guys reviewing Convergence was the first couple of videos I started watching regularly! At the time I was endlessly entertained by you guys talking about how useless the Convergence event was, but DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN its worse than you guys made it out to be! Wow! I thought you were exaggerating when you said this "EVENT" was useless! Amazing! I nearly peed myself when you mentioned "Telos, the BREAKOUT CHARACTER!" Lmao! This was so worth watching! Wow, just... wow...
oh man that scene where batman met batman was the biggest build up to nothing. I remember being so pissed when i read that.
I'm a simple man, I see ComicPop doing Convergence I like.
if there is an earth that has a Superwoman does that mean that there is a Wonder man and a Batwoman?
Omar Rivas Bustinza there is actually a universe like that.
Wonderous Man, Earth 11
Rohan Qadir wonderous man???
Aye, sir. They can't very well call him "Wonder Man" for...reasons.
Indeed, Sir.
Nice to see "That's a story . . . For another time" returns. For some reason I always find it funny when it comes up in Back Issues
WHOA--ETHAN GOT A HAIRCUT!?!?!? It looks nice. 👌👌👌
Ethan's looking more and more like Toby Maguire
Worlds' End, Sal, the destruction of Earth 2 happened in Worlds End. It was another weekly series that ran parallel to Futures End. Worlds was better than Futures, but lethal injection is better than Futures End.
Ian McKee yep worlds end was the one with earth 2 getting blown the hell up
Tevya Smolka
It was a real shame, I loved E2 under Robinson, but Taylor burned the whole world down. It might have been a good story, but I miss early E2.
Ian McKee believe me while personally i wasn't a fan E2 under Robinson i do understand why you liked that early E2 stories more then i did and i respect that
Tevya Smolka
Was there anything about that run in particular you didnt care for, or was the everyone young and no legacy that got you?
Ian McKee it was kinda both ways the one thing they got rid of legacy of the JSA for these young hip rejects but that's just my opinion
They really looked at Countdown: Arena and said lets do more of this, but even more convoluted.
Guys, thank you for this videos! Im a Marvel comic fan. I read a lot of Marvels stuff. But im really lost with DC since new 52. And I love when you cover this events that I cant read by myself because I get lost. Sorry for my english, im from Uruguay. This is one of my favourite youtube chanel and Im a huge fan of all of you! You are really nice people!
Matias Carvalho Damn man I love DC, Image, Valiant, Dark Horse, & Marvel (basically I read almost every damn thing). You gotta open up your mind & completely forget about continuity, that is my best advice lmao!
Martin Aguilar The problem is when I dont understand a story because there are things happening that i havent been reading.
To contrast Convergence you should do Secret Wars, I remember they where happening at the same time.
A Book that only makes sense if you just so happen to be reading earth two
ALAN SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is up with all the Alan Scott comments, could somebody explain me?
Is a joke that they made in one of the recents Weekly Pull.
Despite Convergence being very confusing (even more so when you take rebirth into account.) I heard it had some great one shots.
Edward West-Summers it does all of the tie ins are fantastic
While I started getting comics when rebirth started, I actually wanted to get "Convergence: Speed Force" last year. it was the first time in 4 years that Wally West had been in a comic. I was really disappointed when I couldn't find it anywhere.
Edward West-Summers bummer that sucks sorry to hear that man
I'll just have to find it on amazon I guess. it's so weird how everywhere I went they had just about all the other tie ins EXCEPT the one I was looking for.
Its in the dollar bin at my comic shop lol.
Only Comic Pop could make Convergence entertaining. Great episode!
I loved the Question tie in, it was cool to see the version of Renee Montoya we actually cared about again
lol she's back to being the pre-flashpoint Renee Montoya who became the Question
Holyfuckingshit how did you guys get Tobey McGuire!?
It's Over 9000 Productions nah thats Sal..
Damn it, I kinda liked this event. I haven't read Future's End, do it Sal!! Do it for the fewtah lmao. 🙃
They did it
The Atom tie-in for this was awesome! Deathstroke had baby hands!!
Multiversity was a superior version of Convergence. If it is a part of the main canon I want them to connect Multiversity with Rebirth. You can have The Empty Hand be a duplicate of Dr. Manhattan who became corrupted like Mandrakk was.
@@TheWrestlingful The mystery has been gone for decades. There's always some new creator of the multiverse.
@@TheWrestlingful Also, he Dr. Manhattan didn't create the Multiverse, he just changed things when he got there.
@@TheWrestlingful I thought perpetua was the hand
"Yeah, well, Telos doesn't understand Brainiac's brilliant scheme" Lol that line killed me
I never expected this episode to happen, but it was hilarious.... thank you guys for that!!
Thank for doing this book, even with all the reservations you had. It's really enjoyable to listen to you guys talk about it
FUTCHA END~! ALAN SCOTT~! SPOOLGE~!
I'm waiting for the day when we have Earth-Prime Superboy show up and be like "Nah, I still remember the events of the crises and Sinestro Corps War- this is all bullcrap." It'll never happen, but it'd be perfect!
I’d rather he’d be put down by someone like a rabid dog.
The tie-ins for Convergence are awesome
The interstellar/interdimensional space raft is a surprisingly convenient device in these massive comic events.
HAHA Another excellent episode, guys..! Thanks for all the time & effort that goes into this show..!!
Glad I found this video before I did a stupid purchase xD Took a pause from comics after I was done with Snyder's New 52 run and some others.
So I guess I'll just gonna jump into Rebirth now ^^
Just did get my copy of the trade paperback of Convergence in the mail today from Ebay. I think you Sal and the guys summed up perfectly worst DC Crisis event ever.
Oh snap!!! Ethan with the fresh cut!!!!
You know what sucks, is that now Convergence is cemented as being important as it's what brought back Pre-Flashpoint Superman and has the birth of his son, Jonathan Kent. And now ith him being the main Superman again that will always be there.
And later crossovers never acknowledge Convergence again.
Hell yes, I've been looking forward to this one!
World's End was the Earth 2 weekly series
Future's End was the Earth 1 weekly series!
Just started watching, but I can't wait to see Sal's head explode as he's explaining this comic run to us. :)
Ethan's haircut! I've admittedly been tuned out of Comic Pop for awhile, but after the Animated Series Pitch with Jaiwinn, the Marvel and FF fan cast, and Marvel Zombies, I'm back on board! A weird request, but could you guys do a DC fancast? Like and relay what your design for the DCU would be? In spite of the half-hazard attempt by Warner Bro's and Zack Snyder though lol
Quick story time when I was first getting back into comics after taking a break I jumped in on convergence read the first 3 issues and then quit comics as a whole again for a year cause of how bad it was! Also great episode had to rewatch for a laugh
ok so I haven't even seen the episode, but as soon as I saw the title I legit said, "oh my god, why would he do that!?" I hope this is better than the event itself!
i remember reading this thinking what the hell is going on. it had cool parts but doesn't make up for all the stupid parts .but i definitely enjoyed watching you guys talk about it thank you
Ethan got a haircut! Looks nice bro!
i enjoyed the swamp thing convergence story. swamp thing fighting the red rain vampire batman, very entertaining.
While the main story sucks, the side stories actually have decent sendoffs to pre-flashpoint characters. Roy Harper gets he daughter Lian back, Green Arrow works with his son Connor Hawke, Dick Grayson marries Barbara Gordon, and of course, the reemergence of Post-crisis Superman and his family.
All is well this night
I think Ethan about had an aneurysm on this one
I've been waiting for this episode just to see how Sal reacts to this event
ah with winter coming early [here is GA we don't get Autumn anymore :-( ] this just reminded me how sleek that comicPOP hoodie looks. And I get paid tomorrow, to the tee public store batman!
cool Sal get Geff johns to be in back issue *looking at Ethan*
So they land on a planet named Telos? Did they run into any frozen Cybermen?
Dis gonna be good.
I enjoyed the tie ins. I wish they would of did at least 6-10 issues of the tie ins. But also told the story through the tie ins.
Hi i love your videos they are great, but could you please do SInestro Corps Wars ? I been waiting for you guys to talk about it since the blackest night video.
great episode guys !
def one of the funniest episodes so far😂
26:55 LMFAO
Best video ever it bought me so many laughs because how everyone facial expressions was wtf
Man, Ethan loves that drawing game. It's at least the second time he's referenced it.
The main book was eh, but some of the tie-ins were nice and fanservicey.
Convergence: Titans for example, gave poor Roy Harper something to be happy about.
Convergence did give us 90s Superman back with Jurgens so I can't dislike it
Did Ben just drop a Pumpkin Escobar from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back quote? I am pleased.
I love these guys, they are funny as hell
The Crisis brought to you by DC moving their offices.
Rereading the main book was like a exhausting huge chore… 😅 BUT the side cross over books were still fun and silly.
"I don't care... FIGHT!" 🤣🤣🤣
Yes......
OMG! You made go in the vault and read this again
that theme song at the end!
When I was little, I got the first 20 issues of _Arak: Son of Thunder_ for $5. They were actually a lot of fun!
This sounds like a mess, but a fun one. The toybox aspect of it works on paper but someone had to make it to show why it doesn't work in execution.
When you do the shitty books I feel like it makes some of the best Back Issues. Keep it up guys, thanks for the entertainment 😉
Wish you guys would do some of the wacky earth 2 stuff you touched on. Not that i liked it much, but it'd be fun for you to tear it apart.
You guys should do a show where you talk about the weekly all series from DC Batman Eternal, Batman and Robin Eternal, Earth 2 Worlds End, Futures End, and of course 52 you could do an issue a week and it would be awesome
I love it when you guys do trash events like this. I can never stop laughing
9:22 I already hate this event 😂😂😂
Trying to remember, the only books I read and enjoyed from convergence was Superman- because it was a great story Thats still paying off now. Swamp Thing- because hes a great character and it was a throwback to classic Swamp Thing Story's and Kelly Jones art. Blue Beetle- because I like the Charlton comics characters. Booster gold- because its weirdly kindve required reading for the event if you pay attention...man having it all connect to the Ongoing earth 2 universe was a strange idea
How comic book events are sold the last 10 years or so. "It's a love letter to..." Also they set up that the characters changed the ending of Crisis on inifinite Earths, but never show HOW they did it. They changed the biggest story in comic book history as an aside. A "see also". THAT was the worst part of the book. I could except the rest of the story as being bad, but this made it the worst.
Say what you will, Sal, but I got all the beautiful tony s daniel variant covers 😍
So now the universes don't get punched by superboy prime, which means I have no clue why Jason Todd came back to life!!!?!!!
I want to hear Sal's idea on his version on Rebooting DC Universe, Sal's Crisis and stuff... yeah
I remember being so excited for Convergence....... what a disappointment it was :'( Only great thing to come out of it was pre Flashpoint Supes and Lois coming back!!
Oh Christ. Not this! ANYTHING BUT THIS!!!
Take a shot at each tim they say brainiac
