It felt like the series had some direction at the beginning but then the creators and/or execs decided to just say "fuck it" and move on to the Next Big Thing (i.e., Convergence.) It didn't even offer much of a lead-in to Convergence. Brainiac started to come collect cities...but then they defeated him? And pretty quickly, too. Eye was quite confused.
Eye think what the series was also missing was interesting characters. Or maybe they just weren't used properly. Included were Batman Beyond, Shazam as Superman, Amethyst, Frankenstein, Grifter, Mister Terrific, Tim Drake (retired), and a new female Firestorm. Meh. Eye think DC did a much better job of using secondary characters in their 2006 weekly series 52. Eye was invested in the 52 characters, not so much in the New 52 Futures End ones.
Eye wasted about $150 and who knows how many hours of my time waiting for something exciting and big to happen, but it never did. And the series didn't even matter in the course of things.
Move along, folks, there's nothing to see here...
