Convergence Week Four promises big things with Convergence #4, Grant Morrison’s The Multiversity #2, and the most important two-shot mini-series Convergence: Booster Gold #1 all hitting stands today.

Alrighty then, spoilers and reviews follow for Grant Morrison’s The Multiversity #2, Convergence Booster Gold #1 and Convergence #4!
The Multiversity #2 Spoilers and Review
Ok, the Multiversity #2 was difficult to follow, but opens with the infected / vampiric Monitor now “Super Judge” and a Cosmic Rubik Cube with the fate of the multiverse at stake. The Monitor is freed of his evil bonds and now is on the side of the light.
However, the Justice Incarnate, yes that’s the multiverse’s Justice League’s name, find out someone else has been behind the evil Gentry from the Multiversity #1.
Good guys win. Multiverse is saved. Multiverse 2 is referenced as this being’s previous victim; I guess that makes the post-Flashpoint DC multiverse – formerly the DC New 52 – Multiverse 3? And this all supposedly ties into Convergence.
I welcome other explanations on what happened in this issue and how it ties into Convergence. :)

The book opens with Telos and Earth 2’s Dick Grayson conversing after the death of the Earth 2 Batman Thomas Wayne. Telos seems conflicted about what’s transpiring.
