    This is it! The entire DC Universe, from the dawn of time through The New 52, must fight to survive against a threat that bends the Multiverse to its will. Your favorite characters from every era and every forgotten series are all here! But are you going to say hello again just to say goodbye forever? The stakes have never been higher as the heroes of Crisis, Zero Hour, Elseworlds, and more are brought together for Convergence!
    In the first issue of this weekly series, Brainiac has collected cities of doomed and forgotten worlds, who must battle each other—and the losers will be destroyed! But why is he forcing this conflict? Join the refugees from Earth-2 as they unlock the truth behind this world that exists outside time and space and is very much alive! Is Brainiac really in control—or is this planet named Telos an unparalleled force of evil?
    This extra-sized issue is packed with twists and turns and appearances you NEVER thought you’d see—including the heroes from the hit series INJUSTICE!

    As Telos, the Planet Incarnate, easily defeats the survivors of Earth-2, Thomas Wayne and Dick Grayson set off to find help in the pre-Flashpoint Gotham City. The emotional implication of these worlds colliding comes crashing down when Thomas Wayne confronts this world’s Batman, as father meets son!
    Plus, Alan Scott’s attempts to connect with The Green yield unexpected results, setting our team on a quest to escape the planet. And the cyborgs of Futures End engage in a battle to the death against the reimagined heroes of the Just Imagine Universe, while the city of Superman Red and Blue takes on the opposing forces from GENERATIONS!

    Death comes calling as an injured Telos takes out his rage on the people of Kandor, while the Earth-2 team endures another brutal casualty. And major plans are set in motion as Green Lantern and the others follow Deimos into the lost city of Skartaris to find Rip Hunter and the missing Time Masters, who could be their only hope of escape from this apocalypse for Infinite Earths!

    Inside Skartaris, the heroes of Earth-2 must face the only man who can stop them from finding the missing Time Travelers—but why would Travis Morgan, aka The Warlord, want to kill them?
    Meanwhile, Telos takes the captive Dick Grayson to several of the battling cities to prove the futility of challenging him. And whatever you do, do not miss the final page, as the surprising return of an unexpected villain could crush all hope for salvation and seal the doom of everyone on the planet!

    I'd say the difference is that the level to which a person does something morally questionable and for me to still be invested in the character is that they need to be doing it for interesting reasons.

    Walter White is a desperate person who realizes that they have been a bad person their entire life, and his descent into that internal hell is compelling.

    Tony had a magic switch flipped and now he's a greedy bastard/worst version of himself, for no other reason than well now he just is. That's just kind of boring. Now he's a mostly bad guy who has made his technology analogous to a drug dealer. Unless there's more of a reveal later it just seems like the most boring angle on him being "inverted"

    I'd be way more interested if there was some sort of compelling arc to his actions or some desperate need to do this stuff.

    Well we are only a couple issues in at this point.

    To be clear, I'm not doing some kind of hard sell on Superior Iron Man, I think it has potential but it's by no means a book I love or even a book im sure I'll keep reading.

    To no one's surprise I'm sure the absolute best take on new Tony has been Hickman's in New Avengers.

    Yeah, I'll still keep reading Superior at this point to see if it capitalises on its potential, but I can understand people being turned away. Meanwhile, while I've been enjoying Mighty Avengers, I still think it's poor timing to have the new Cap be Judge Dredd right out the gate.

    This might have already been asked before, but has Marvel said whether or not the new Star Wars stuff is eventually going to end up on Unlimited?

    I don't know if they have said so, but I would be very surprised if they did not

    I don't know, they've never put up their Transformers comics.

    I'm glad it worked out well - I was having a bit of buyer's remorse from adding it to my file today. I hope I don't like it enough to start buying it monthly. I'm thinking of going TP on Copperhead and Tooth & Claw soon though...that would free up a little money each month.

    Or Kevin Conroy should

    But Sisto is Talon, and Conroy is Thomas Wayne

    It's kind of clever, I think

    It could backfire if Jason O'Mara does a terrible job as Batman

    But Batman has always been a story about dark mirrors, and using other Batmans to play said dark mirrors is kind of a great idea
