Next week, DC Comics is kicking off Convergence, a nine week crossover event that was originally designed to help the company complete its cross-country move from New York City to Burbank, California.
Convergence is a nine issue miniseries that is tied into 40 two issue miniseries that will briefly resurrect some of DC’s characters who were lost after Flashpoint gave way to The New 52. DC has brought back several iconic comic creators to revisit the world’s greatest superheroes in multiple eras. And during this time, all of DC’s regular superhero books will be going on hiatus.
DC has released a new video in which co-publisher Dan DiDio explains how the Convergence storyline works, where the heroes are going to reappear in the multiverse and which villains are behind everything. DiDio even hints that storyline elements from Convergence will be a part of the DC Universe after the event ends.
Convergence kicks off next Wednesday, March 1 with Convergence # 0 by writers Jeff King and Scott Lobdell, with artist Carlo Pagulayan.
