Notes: A real mixed bag, some really drag, some pretty sad, two not too bad, but overall, just unenthralling, fruitless brawls.

IT'S THE SAME OUTCOME OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!! You only need to read one or two of the instalments to understand how this whole event plays out. So much effort and resources poured in to this event, yet it's just the same story over and over again with different characters from different timelines by different artist and writers. Cookie cutter!!!!
So boring. So repetitive. Such a waste of time.
Conceptually, it may have seemed like a cool idea, but the execution of these "world vs world" stories falls miles short of its target.
Skip the Convergence tie-in issues and only read the main Convergence storyline.
1/5

Horrible art. Much worse than the first volume.

AKA 90's Era DC versus Wildstorm B-Listers. This book gets 3 stars only because of Keith Giffen's 'Matrix Supergirl vs. Lady Quark and Lord Volt' (I think from Wildstorm's The Monarchy?), which gives the whole Convergence concept all the respect it deserves as the story devolves into a whirlwind ride with Supergirl and Ambush Bug. It's the most fun I've had in any of the convergence comics. The rest of the collection is pretty turgid - the Zero Hour era heroes aren't particularly memorable (Azrael is still a putz, and Hal Jordan as Parallax is embarrassingly over-the-top), and the Wildstorm villains don't make for interesting opponents (even Gen13 get short shrift). Aside from some weirdness around Steel merging with the dome nanotech, there's nothing remotely memorable in the book (again, excepting Ambush Bug's misadventures). In all honesty, this book really deserves 2 stars but come on, Ambush Bug.

Convergence: Zero Hour: Book Two
In the day after the Dome collapses, hero finds themself pitted against hero and it becomes a true reflection on what it is to be mighty that will decide the fate of worlds.
Some fun the in stories to accompany the main 'Convergence' book, with well designed art and a tongue in cheek explanation for the earthquake that ends nearly every story.

Convergence is a two-month weekly comic book event that cumulates the weekly series Earth 2: World's End and The New 52: Futures End maxi-series. This trade paperback pits pre-Zero Hour characters against those from WildStorm Universe series and Earth-Six and collects five of the forty tie-in issues: Convergence: Superman: The Man of Steel #1–2, Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1–2, Convergence: Aquaman #1–2, Supergirl: Matrix #1–2, and Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax #1–2.
Convergence: Superman: Man of Steel is a two-part tie-in written by Louise Simonson and penciled by June Brigman and Roy Richardson. The issue opens with Steel (John Henry Irons) fighting Lex Luthor goons in armor that attacked his base. Mid-battle, the dome comes down and the challenge by Telos issued, where Steel meets Gen-13 (Burnout, Caitlin Fairchild, Grunge, Freefall, and Rainmaker) from the WildStorm Universe. At first he is reticent into fighting, because they are teenagers, but a battle soon ensues and Burnout manages to melt Steels armor and he becomes paralyzed. However, a recently re-powered Parasite joins the mêlée with absorbing results.
While convalescing, Natasha Irons and Jemahl Irons (John Henry Irons' daughter and nephew respectively) suited up to fight Gen-13. Heavily weakened by Parasite they managed to subdue Gen-13 for a while. Meanwhile, a paralyzed John Henry Irons goes through the procedure of absorbing the techno-organic nano-particles that was isolated from the Dome, making John Henry Irons a techno-organic Steel and restore his mobility. He re-joins the mêlée and convinces Gen-13 to stand down.
Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat is a two-part tie-in written by Larry Hama and penciled by Philip Tan and Jason Paz. The issue opened with Bruce Wayne and Jean-Paul Valley meeting in Metropolis – Batman was investigating Tobias Whale while Jean-Paul Valley was lured by Parallax when the dome went up – trapping them. Together, they infiltrated Tobias Whale's gang in order to bring them down as Batman – two of them. During the mêlée the dome goes down and the challenged by Telos was issued. Jester and Pilgrim of Wetworks from the WildStorm Universe appear.
The Batmans and Wetworks play a game of cat and mouse with the WildStorm team on the losing end. Somehow during the chase Batman (Bruce Wayne) manages to convince Jackson Dane, the leader of Wetworks, to stand down and team –up with them and other worlds to take the fight to Telos. Batman (Jean-Paul Valley) refused to join, because it would leave the city unprotected and he would do that – making him a hero.
Convergence: Aquaman is a two-part tie-in written by Tony Bedard and penciled by Cliff Richards. The issue opens with a one handed Aquaman saves a couple from being robbed. Having lost his power to communicate with marine life (because of the dome) and separated from water – he is literally a fish out of water. Until the dome goes down and the challenged issued by Telos did his powers return. Deathblow from the WildStorm Universe appears and slaughters the DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations) base that is monitoring the superheroes and the one he chose to fight first is Aquaman.
Deathblow infiltrates S.T.A.R. Labs where Aquaman is now stationed via the lavatories. Aquaman vanquishes Deathblow with relative ease, but he didn't know Deathblow's ability – he can't permanently die, which makes defeating him and winning the contest rather difficult. Aquaman retreats to find water to strengthen him, but as a precaution S.T.A.R. Labs created a dehydration system when they first asked Aquaman to join them, because they couldn't trust him yet and have forgotten about the fail-safe. However, Dane Dorrance, S.T.A.R. Labs director, poetically reminded Aquaman that blood is the chemical equivalent to seawater and because Deathblow couldn't die, Aquaman had no problems in stabbing him in the neck and for lack of a better term – bloodbend the blood out of him and taking victory.
Convergence: Supergirl: Matrix is a two-part tie-in written by Keith Giffen and penciled by Ramon Bachs. The issue opens with Lex Luthor (with red hair) sitting on a park bench feeding the pigeons with a de-powered Matrix. Luthor is depressed with nothing to entertain him when the dome went up without Superman. When the dome went down and the challenged issued by Telos was announced, Luthor ordered a now restored Matrix Supergirl to fly him to his lab and gave her a device to locate the transport device that transported them there. En route, Matrix encounters Lady Quark and Lord Volt of Earth-Six, which bickers with each other than fight. Matrix accidentally damages the tracking device, but she meets Ambush Bug, which she is happy to see.
Ambush Bug has the power of teleportation and apparently breaking the fourth wall. He leads Matrix Supergirl on a marry chase going from place to place. Eventually Lady Quark joined in the chase, because Supergirl won't fight her until Ambush Bug is captured. In the end, they ended up fighting each other regardless when they got tired of the chase. The battle between the two remains unresolved, but is rendered moot in Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax.
Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax is a two-part tie-in written by Tony Bedard and penciled by Ron Wagner and Bill Reinhold. The issue opens up with Kyle Rayner on his daily visit to Hal Jordan who is in prison – a self-proclaimed one. As Parallax he was in the middle of attacking Metropolis when the dome went up and became powerless – remembering what he done as Parallax, he went to the nearest police station and turned himself in – Kyle Rayner has been visiting daily since trying to convince Jordan that it wasn't his fault. It was an ordinary day for Rayner until it was not – the dome went down, the challenged issued from Telos was announced, and Rayner got his Green Lantern powers back as well as Jordan as Parallax. Rayner managed to get to Jordan within Parallax when he was shot in the back by Princess Fern from Earth-Six.
Enraged Parallax decimates the invading army and then proclaimed that he would destroy their home –Electropolis. When Kyle Rayner pulls through he calls a truce with Princess Fern telling her that he would try to stop Parallax in exchange of her retreat. However, Rayner was back-stabbed by Electroplois, when a General tells Princess Fern to lay waste to Metropolis when their guardians are distracted. Rayner eventually manages to get to Jordan within Parallax, but Kyle sent him home against his will, while he finished his resolve. Enraged by her betrayal, Kyle fights Princess Fern, but the battle didn't last long, because Metropolis was declared the victor, because Electropolis has been destroyed – Princess Fern and her army disappear.
For the most part, most of the tie-ins are rather mediocre with Convergence: Aquaman and Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax being my favorite tie-ins. With the exception of the two issues I mentioned most of the stories seemed safe with most having one side convincing the other side to join their forces to battle Telos. The penciling is rather inconsistent as well, but that's par for the course for having eight pencilers, so the quality and consistency of the penciling would vary. My favorite pencilers would have to be Cliff Richards who penciled Convergence: Aquaman and Phillip Tan who penciled Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1.
All in all, Convergence: Zero Hour, Book Two is a somewhat adequate collection of tie-ins for the Convergence event. The writing and penciling varies, but that's par for the course for multiple writers and pencilers.

Tutaj już znam bohaterów: Steel, Parallax, Matrix Supergirl (ta zmiennokształtna), Aquaman (ten z hakiem zamiast ręki) i duet Batmana z Azraelem (zaraz po pokonaniu Bane'a) tworzą edgy ekipę ponurych lat 90'. Najciekawszym punktem programu jest pojawienie się Ambush Buga :D

Anyone want to see Wildstorm heroes fight against Zero Hour era DC b-listers? Yeah I didn't think so.

This is really a two-star book plus a great appearance by Ambush Bug of all people in Supergirl: Matrix. Keith Giffen's treatment of Lex Luthor's relationship to Matrix seems to be off but who cares. He makes Crisis era Lady Quark's appearance a ton of fun and then there's Ambush Bug, a character only Giffen seems to be able to make work over the years. It puts some of this dire Convergence stuff in a silly perspective. I had a blast with that one. The other 4 titles weren't very good, nor did the writers seem to put in much effort on researching this era of DC in the 90's or the paper thin Wildstorm characters they mostly fought.

Man of Steel - not great, Steel himself is interesting tho
Shadow of the Bat - so boring, wetworks? Boy they dry as hell
Aquaman - corny but entertaining, pretty thrilling
Supergirl Matrix - pretty good, Ambush Bug is great, I don’t love the way Keith Giffen wrote Lady Quark, and then it just ends while the story is still happening
GL/Parallax - again pretty good but I’m tired of Electropolis
I’m getting tired of Convergence period and I still have a ways to go

Even given the very limiting editorial framework of these stories (and it's a truly awful framework - heroes trapped in their cities for a year must suddenly fight one another for their home's survival), they are shockingly boring and lifeless comics. At least Keith Giffen makes fun of it all during his two chapters. There's nothing else here to recommend in the slightest.

Reminded me why the comics of the 90's were such a drag. I never got into the Wildstorm books so those adversaries did not interest me in the slightest.

This was terrible with no redeemable qualities. That is all.
July 16, 2021
Giffen's Supergirl vs Whoever the Hell Those Are is at least fun and knows that this whole thing is a no-stakes piece of nonsense. The rest are nonsense that take themselves way too seriously.

Mediocre at best. Repetitive uninteresting story. Overall weak art. Ugh.

Collects Convergence: Superman: Man of Steel issues #1-2, Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat issues #1-2, Convergence: Aquaman issues #1-2, Convergence: Supergirl: Matrix issues #1-2, and Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax issues #1-2
"Convergence" was an event in which a powerful entity abducted people from various worlds in the Multiverse and held them prisoner for one year. These abductees are a combination of superheroes, super villains, and regular people. Each world's/time period's people are trapped underneath their own special dome. After one year, the domes were opened, and the 50 different worlds were told that they had to fight each other. Whichever worlds' champions won in combat against each of the other worlds would be allowed to live. Only one of these parallel universes will be allowed to survive at the conclusion of the great battle.
I'm not a long time DC Comics fan, so I don't know a lot of the history behind each character. I can imagine that if someone was a long-time fan, they would love this event, and the tie-in issues that came out to support the event.
This volume's tie-in issues features characters from the 1990's, from the WildStorm Universe, and from Earth-6.
Superman: Man of Steel featured the 1990's Steel fighting against Gen-13.
Batman: Shadow of the Bat features a team up between the 1990's Batman and 1990's Azrael. Together they take on a team known as Wetworks.
Aquaman features the one-handed, 1990's Aquaman versus Deathblow (from the WildStorm Universe).
Supergirl: Matrix features the 1990's character Matrix (sometimes calling itself Supergirl) teaming up with Ambush Bug. Also featured are Lady Quark and Lord Volt of Electropolis (from Earth-6).
Green Lantern/Parallax features the 1990's versions of Kyle Rayner and Hal Jordan teaming up against Princess Fern of Electropolis. This version of Hal Jordan is the evil Parallax, while Rayer is the last Green Lantern.
In my opinion, the "Green Lantern/Parallax" issues were the best.

Writers: Louise Simonson, Larry Hama, Keith Giffen, and Tony Bedard.
Artists: June Brigman, Philip Tan, Timothy Green II, Cliff Richards, Ron Wagner, and others.
This Convergence tie-in volume collects Superman: Man of Steel #1-2, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1-2, Supergirl: Matrix #1-2, Aquaman #1-2, and Green Lantern/Parallax #1-2.
The best story in this collection is Supergirl. The artwork is fun and modern, and the story has some humor.
The other stories are mostly so-so, with formulaic plots that don't have clear resolutions. The Green Lantern story ties directly into the main Convergence book, but is not particularly memorable on its own.
I read the contents of this volume as individual comic books when they were published.

This was OK, I guess. The problem is that I have no idea and do not really care about the Wildstorm folks who fought the 90's DC guys here. And the books never really give me a reason to try. Some of the DC stuff was fine. Parallax was interesting and Ambush Bug (and the Supergirl story) was a little funny. That's about it, though.

Aquaman story didn't really do anything for me. Same with Azrael Batman and Parallax one.. the Supergirl/Lex/Ambush Bug one was great!! The art and story were expressive and hilarious! The Steel story was fun!

A bit heavy on the Wildstorm characters for me. Aren't there other parts of the DC Universes that you could have covered?
