Multiverse Questions

Given that I like multiverses, but haven't been following DC Comics for a few years, could someone explain to me the relationship between Convergence, Multiversity, and Infinite Crisis: Battle For The Multiverse? And tell me which ones are any good?

Are you a Linkara fan?

No, and it's not happening.

I figured some analysis from a comic book reviewer might be in order.
Sadly, I have yet to see his take on what you listed.

Multiversity was Grant Morrison's love letter to the concept of multiple universes. It included a lot of "inside baseball" references and metafiction, but was actually a lot of fun and an incredible read. I highly recommend it, especially the Ultra Comics issue.

Convergence is DC's event whose purpose seems to have been to bring back the multiverse we had before Crisis, along with the new universes that have existed since then. The eight-issue series itself was weak, but some of the tie-in issues were great. There seems to be a loose connection to Multiversity, in that Multiversity has laid down a map of the new multiverse, and it appears that Convergence was how we got there.

Infinite Crisis: Battle For The Multiverse seems to be based on a video game, from what I understand. As far as I can tell, it is completely out of continuity.

Multiversity was fun. Lots of cool ideas. I'm a sucker for alternate worlds anyway so I enjoyed it. Convergence had it's moments but weaker than Multiversity. Infinite Crisis: Battle For The Multiverse was based on a game. It's better than the game which is getting it's server turned off in a month or so. It did have some fun character designs. I really like Atomic Wonder Woman. http://media.popcultcha.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/c/dccjun130306-dc-infinite-crisis-atomic-wonder-woman-statue.png

Love love love the tie-skirt. Hate the footballs-bra.

Wow! I own the statue and I never noticed the football-bra. I think I just took it for granted that it was leather.
