 VS It's pretty obvious to most that Marvel's Secret Wars and DC's Convergence are rather similar in concept with both dealing with the multiverse and what seems to be areas from alternate earths colliding to create a new planet. But I wanted to ask you guys what event you're more excited by or even just interested by. Leave a comment below and tell us your thoughts and expectations for both or either of the two events. |

I'm really excited for both.
I can't wait for Convergence as we get to see loads of fan favourite characters back again (pre-Crisis, Red Son).
I can't wait for Secret Wars as it's our best chance at getting a New 52 style Marvel reboot, something that Marvel really needs to do.

Marvel 616 Spoilers
Something I don't understand, why is 616-Namor on the cover for Secret Wars? I get that no one stays dead in comics but 3 months is a pretty quick turn around time.

For example, Thomas Wayne and Dick Grayson from Earth 2 end up Pre-Flashpoint Gotham. Which could mean good old fashioned Batman will meet the version of thomas wayne that outlived bruce, while Dick could meet Nightwing(or maybe batman depending on what happened to dick after we left for the new 52) Also the characters from injustice are supposed to turn up which could be interesting especially if superman is involved. |

Injustice is involved?! I did not know that. Imagine pre-Flashpoint Supes meeting Injustice Supes. |

Although i feel like injustice batman could be involved, and maybe this sets him on his path to bring heroes from another world to his, like we see in the game |

One of the interesting aspects of the event is that after these earths were left during crises and what not, everyone lost their powers and now they're getting them back.

I don't know much about Secret Wars but some of those teasers from a while back intrigued me.
So i may pick some of them up.
Don't know if i'll follow the actual event comic though.

I'm not sure, if you check the solicits over on the DC thread they should hint at some other ones

Now that I sorta know what Secret Wars is I'm still more excited and interested to read Convergence.
That may have something to do with me being a bigger DC fan, but i also just think the way secret wars is being laid out is...messy.
Convergence is cleaner and well, cheaper.
It only lasts two months....

It only lasts two months.... Yeah but after Convergence everything will be the same. It's not as big as Secret Wars. Not much is at stake. It makes a bit more sense for it to be longer. But either way it doesn't matter. Won't be reading either anyway. I can say I stopped reading Marvel Pre Secret Wars so I will only know the 616 universe! |

To be fair we don't actually know what repercussions convergence will have on the DCU, we have been told it will affect it in some very big ways. Secret Wars is just a little more obvious as to what it's going to do. |
