    Does this mean they're actually "getting" what to do with one of their classic characters?

    Besides being true to the characters, the art even has an old-timey Alex Raymond/Hal Foster feel to it . . .

      Highly, highly recommended. The best version of the Marvel Family that DC
      has put out since Jerry Ordway's "Power of Shazam".

      I also recommend Jeff Parker's "Convergence: Hawkman".

        That looks pretty classy an classic. So what have they changed regarding origins and backstory? They had to have messed with something. HOw many issues have been released cause I'll have to get them from Lone Star.
        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                The Multiversity one-shot was FANTASTIC. It's the only one of those titles I bought, but well worth it. I'm buying this too.

                  I must say, I wish more modern books looked like that. Cool art!

                    Between Jeff Parker and Grant Morrison they have given us what the Marvel Family should be...an all ages all around fun concept. Instead of the off-base recent attempt at modernizing the characters at the hands of Geoff Johns.

                      Although somewhat ironically because Morrison is the one that gave us evil Mary Marvel in "52".

                        I've enjoyed reminiscing with some of the Convergence books, but it really is a tease because in June the books revert back to New52 continuity with revisions.

                        I saw a preview of the GL book with Hal Jordan with longish hair and a green long coat with a hood and instead of a ring, he's got a bracelet or gauntlet type thing.

                        If there were some innovation with the revisions, I wouldn't be so cynical, but robo Batbunny, a tired 90s reworking of Green Lantern and Super Bro doesn't do much for me.

                          I enjoyed this book, they even incorporated the original 70s stuff about suspended animation etc.
                          Nice take , wish it was permanent.

                              Thunderworld was terrific. How does Convergence compare? I've picked up other Convergence single issues, and didn't really care much about the dome/Battle Royale crossover plot.
