Notes:
(1) The whole reason why I chose to read "Convergence" and all its tie-in issues was to get to the birth of Jonathan Kent.
- Was it a good pair of issues? Sure. Was it worth the long slog leading up it it? Absolutely not.
- In retrospect, should I have skipped to this and not wasted my time? No. As a completist, I can live with wasting time, I can't live with regret.

Notes:
(1) Amazing how Kryptonite's extremely rare, except when it's needed.
(2) It might just be me, but the stories in this volume are a big step up from the previous six.
- I think it's because this features the most familiar versions of characters. Older iterations are either written by past-their-prime writers of the era or modern ones who don't know how to write them.

Notes:
(1) Finally, characters that I have some direct familiarity with!
- Unfortunately, I seemed not to have read the right stories to get these references.
(2) Usually, I'd see Greg Rucka as a safe pair of hands, but his story here seems entirely phoned in.
- How does he not understand the gimmick of these tie-ins when all the rest have been repetitive ad nauseum?
