Read issue 4 yesterday and I'm still engaged. Hard to pass judgement yet since it's still early in the story.

I won't lie; I'm kinda hoping to be finding lots of this and to read a hopefully engaging future story that will eventually give hints as to how DC may change...again.... I mean, it's only the first 7 weeks of 50 issues, right? Gotta grow and breathe, I think.

ISSUE #31 We're now over halfway through and so far I'm still engaged. This issue is the start of what I assume is the final arc. A lot of plot lines wrapped up last issue and at the moment all seems good. But I expect that this is the calm before the storm. Highlights from this issue. Cadmus and the Earth 2 Heroes. Superman and Constatine. Firestorm. All in all a nice wrap up of all of last issues big events and a hint of things to come.

ISSUE #32 More beginnings for the next arc me thinks. Here's the highlights. Batman Beyond, Plastique, Mr. Terrific, and Bruce Wayne. Cole, Lana, and Fifty Sue. Firestorm. S.H.A.D.E. (The Atom, Frankenstein, Lady Amethyst, Black Adam, Hawkman, and the Engineer) A question. Another setup issue with the remaining characters for the final arc. Since Fifty Sue is on the cover of the next issue I'm hoping things will pick up on the action front.

Okay, I think I've convinced myself enough to say "ah, the hell with it, lets get the trades and enjoy a future story!"

It's a fun read. It's not epic like "52" was but I'm enjoying it.

ISSUE #33 The action starts to pick back up this issue so that is good. Here are my thoughts on the highlights. S.H.A.D.E. and Stormwatch. Fifty Sue. Batman Beyond and Plastique. Firestorm. Pretty good issue and great double page spread at the beginning.

Need to hit up my boy Dave for this ... I can't remember if he got this or not. Not hitting the spoilers you marked, but I did see where you said it is not as epic as 52. Would you say it is worth the time to read for a guy that is not a "DC" guy? Should I grab the issues if he has them?

I would say yes pick it up. Since it takes place 5 years in the future everyone has to relearn the characters for where they are here. No previous knowledge required.

Sweet. I'm not "unkowledgable" (like that is a word, ha) about most DC characters, but just not what I would call "current" on my knowledge of most of the little things that make a character special. If you get me? Sometimes that can be essential to understanding why some characters do or say certain things that may or may not effect the story. If you also get that? HAHA

Wait a minute. Is issue 48 the end of the story? WTF? Anyone else have any insight?

Yep, 48 is the end. Convergence was the end point for both this title and the the Earth 2 weekly that ran only 26 issues. Batman Eternal was suppose to use Convergence as just a pause point; restarting sometime after Convergence was over, but now I think they (DC) may have changed their mind and 52 will/may be the last issue.

Really disappointed with that. After 48 issues I feel like I deserved a better payoff.
