    It feels like a Crisis. The few things they announced make it feel like a soft reboot (Batman in a robot suit, armored wonder woman, gritty supes).

    I'm still about five weeks behind on DC with the exception of Batman Eternal which I finished so won't be touching Convergence for a bit.

    Well they won't be using New 52 tag anymore but as far as continuity goes it's supposed to remain as it currently is but that could just be a load of crap to not give anything about Convergence away

    Convergence is only taking place because DC needed something to fill the time it takes them to move their office from NYC to the West Coast.

    The only real change in the New 52 going forward is that they have said they are going to focus more on giving good stories over "OMG ALL CONTINUITY MUST BE RIGHT *ignores joker everywhere in New 52*"

    I am really liking the vader book as well. The chick is a fun counterpoint to him.

    Just finished catching up on all the earth 2 and earth 2 future's end...now on to the main convergence story...lol, feel like I've read 1000 books in the last week trying to get caught up

    Finished the Dark Angel saga yesterday from Uncanny X-Men. That was fantastic, everything from Messiah Complex through Dark Angel.

    New arc is kinda weird. Liked the art from the last one better. This one gets a little washy. The Dark Angel saga had a great, dark, gritty yet detailed style.

    Which arc came after Dark Angel? I can't remember.

    Fantomex is taken to Omniverse for what he did to the kid to start off the Dark Angel arc. X-Force chases after him and Psylocke to bring them back.

    Weird fantasy mash up with goat people going on.

    dont worry that arc gets awesome. man uncanny xforce was just nuts. After that you definitely need to read uncanny avengers, there is a ton of callbacks to uncanny xforce even tho very few of the same characters.

    I wouldn't even say it's callbacks, it's still effectively the same story since it's all tied into the first arc/Dark Angel Saga from X-Force

    I enjoyed the line about the whole place being a Tolkien nightmare. Very fitting.

    great character sadly destroyed by the latest X-Force incarnation courtesy of Spurrier though to be fair he destroyed most everyone in that title so can't expect much

    Yeah I was shocked how just totally bad the last X-Force was. Really sad after it was so amazing.

    But yeah definitely read uncanny Avengers next. Avenge the Earth story arc was great.
