Convergence: Nightwing and Oracle #1

Liz says: Having launched no less than eleven titles this week, DC’s Convergence has taken over the shelves, throwing readers headlong into a maelstrom of innumerable worlds and timelines. There’s a lot going on in these books, and unless you’ve read every DC series ever written you’re likely to find at least some of it a tad confusing. But if you’re willing to take it all with a grain of sand and go along for the ride, there’s something for everyone. For me, it’s Nightwing and Oracle. I miss Barbara Gordon as Oracle and I miss the relationship between her and Dick Grayson; for the first time in a good few years, there’s more where that came from. It’s not much but I’ll take it! I am sure that every DC fan out there has their character or team or Elseworld that makes you feel this way, and that’s what Convergence is all about. Embrace the mayhem!
