Convergence #8 ended not so much with a bang as everyine standing around talking about it a lot. But amidst the bad guy being defeated by another bad guy, and two bad guys becoming good guys in order to save all the other good guys, and some of the bad guys too, there were a couple of interesting notes.

First that the Convergence planet has now become the origin of the DC Multiverse, and not only that but the origin of all the worlds in Multiversity.

Which I know is not what anyone planned. It might need a little shoe horning in to fit though… so basically the entire Convergence event is now Multiversity #0. Of course it's also Crisis on Infinite Earth #0. In fact it has basically become the origin story… for all the stories. And now the universes never went away…

And secondly, the planet is now the new Earth 2, raised to the ground and transported across dimensions. So it might as well be any planet really.

So, over in Convergence: Booster Gold #2 (which by the way is also an Armageddon 2001 #0 for those playing at home as one of the Boosters gets an upgrade to becoming another familiar character from the past)…

…we also get a short Earth 2: Society story that shows that not is all well, even in this new world and there are just as many divisions as before…

A new ecology from two differnt suns and the effect that has on Kryptonians…

Even on a new Earth, and with a removed boob window, while falling from the heavens, Power Girl can still master the thigh gap. Is there a male equivalent this issue?Best you're going to get. And just in case anyone was thinking that this place was finally solace from Darkseid, we get a rather familiar figure.

Darkseid War anyone? Man, it really was a "convergence" after all, wasn't it? Every story starts here…
