    With one crucial difference: Secret Wars > Convergence

    You might be right, But I'm not going to buy into two different comics telling the same story, Especially seeing that they have both gone down this road before, and both titles lead to very little.

    They're actually very different stories with common elements. That said, Convergence was a boring and secret Wars is actually entertaining and fun.

    Im more of a DC fan, but i'll agree Secret Wars is a more interesting story, i thought Convergence was rather boring. Also Secret Wars has the return of Old Man Logan.

    I have to agree that that alone is a good reason to pick up Secret wars.

    I think DC have dropped the ball in the last year, Future's End lead to nothing, massive story that took in every Hero you would want to see in an epic, Some new heroes to liven it all up, Then at the end what do You have? A year long prequel to the New Batman Beyond story. Not good enough.
    I was hoping that Convergence would end with the Futures end story interlacing or "Converging" with the current DC universe.
    Guess I just have to hope the Walking Dead picks up the pace and restore My love for comics. ;)

    I think Secret Wars is great. Yes these types of stories have been done before but the reason they're repeated is because they can be a lot of fun. In a nutshell, secret wars is exactly what the skottie young cover for issue 1 is: Doom playing with action figures of your favourite marvel characters, with his rules.

    Like Superior Spidy, this status quo won't last forever but for the moment, I'm happy to live with battleworld for a good while yet.

    Haven't touched Convergence as yet. I keep meaning to catch up with DC... But I missed Trinity War... Then I said that I'd catch up with Forever Evil... And then I looked at Future's End and backed away slowly...
