Countdown to Final Crisis #12

With Earth-51 blown to hell in the last issue, this issue, aptly named "Convergence", catches us up with all of the other players from this series. Apokolips is the rally point for all and this issue shows how each member gets there. With twelve issues left it is about time that we get to see why the series has focused on certain players. The pacing of this issue was a bit uneven, but it did provide updates on all of the players and, in most cases, gave a reason for all of the going to Apokolips. The art was decent but not spectacular.

After a few good weeks, this issue looks to be a pause before the final confrontation. With "Countdown to Final Crisis" being the spine of the DCU, one would hope that something comes from all of this.
