In the month since we’ve announced CONVERGENCE, our massive crossover publishing event hitting the stands next April and May, we’ve revealed which two-issue miniseries will be released during Week One, Week Two, Week Three and Week Four.
What? You missed the Week Four announcement? Then clearly you didn’t visit Entertainment Weekly or Newsarama today. Otherwise, you would have heard all about the Pre-Crisis goodness taking place throughout Week Four. Goodness that includes Len Wein writing a Detective Comics miniseries featuring Helena Wayne and Dick Grayson fighting together to honor the legacy of the now-deceased Bruce Wayne. And Paul Levitz scripting a Seven Soldiers of Victory tale for World’s Finest Comics. And freakin’ Plastic Man leading the Freedom Fighters in a story that finds them fighting both Nazis and the creepy Futures End robot superheroes. Plus, the return of Booster Gold as written by Dan Jurgens which will almost certainly continue the story set up in September’s Booster Gold Futures End comic.
You can check out the art, teams and synopses for all of Week Four below. Look for issue #1 of the below titles to hit stores on April 29th with issue #2 landing on May 27th.
