So here's my question, both Marvel and DC are having events this year that strongly revolve around alternate universes and timelines, what will you be picking up and which interests you more?
Note, I'm talking about the events themselves and NOT the outcome.
DC Comics
Convergance
"Convergence is a two-month weekly limited series, published by DC Comics, that begins in April 2015 and is scheduled to run through to the end of May 2015. Convergence spins out of the final issues of the weekly series, Earth 2: World's End and The New 52: Futures End. The story involves Brainiac having trapped cities from various timelines and planets that have ended, brought them in domes to a planet outside of time and space, and "is now opening them for a great experiment to see what happens when all these folks meet." Notable during this event will be the return of DC Characters from before the "Flashpoint" storyline of 2011 that led to creation of The New 52 Universe."
