USA Today *Does* Officially Announce DC Comics' Convergence – Donna Troy, Blue Beetle, Gen 13, JSA And More
Well, it's taken some time. We've been reporting about this for quite a while. Today, USA Today have been given the scoop by DC Comics.
The company is putting its line of superhero comic books on hiatus for two months for Convergence, a nine-week miniseries kicking off with a zero issue April 1. The story line will spill into 40 two-part miniseries in April and May featuring a variety of writers and artists examining the worlds of the DC Universe over the decades, as well as the heroes and villains contained within.
Convergence spins out of the April 1 finales of the Earth 2: World's End and The New 52: Futures End weekly series. The alien supervillain Brainiac has 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.
And there's the fact that people have also queried them about what happened to certain favorite characters and teams such as Donna Troy, Blue Beetle and the Justice Society of America, and why they haven't been reintroduced while others have.
Following in the footsteps of Brainiac is Telos, a new bad guy being introduced in Convergence. Named after the Greek philosophical term for "end" or "goal," he is born of Brainiac and this mysterious planet — even taking on traits of that world — "but becomes a character unto himself," says DiDio.
The event also marks the comic debut of writer Jeff King, who's handling the scripting and storytelling for the main Convergence plot line. (Dan Jurgens of Futures End is co-writing the zero issue with him, while former Superman scribe Scott Lobdell is helping to lay out the overall outline of the story.)
So that's Donna Troy, JSA, Blue Beetle, Tangent, Gen 13 and plenty more. For a few of these notes, look to previous Bleeding Cool articles.
Announcing that this project existed, and its intentions, back in May.
Starting to learn its structure. How it would use alternate dimensions of the DC Multiverse including the Pre 52 but not the New 52.
Naming Scott Lobdell on the weekly.
Naming Brainiac as the instigator.
