As you probably know by now, Convergence is DC Comics’ massive two-month-long event, bringing together heroes and villains from all parts of the publisher’s seventy-five plus year history in one epic, multiverse-spanning story. DC’s recent weekly books like New 52: Futures End and Earth 2: World’s End have all been leading to Convergence, as Superman arch-villain Brainiac is collecting cities from various doomed timelines and worlds from throughout the history of the Multiverse. These various alternate Earths are saved from destruction right before the universe-altering events that made them all disappear, and now Brainiac is combining different elements from each one just to see what happens.
Week three of the second month of Convergence focuses on the heroes of the old, pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths version of DC’s Earth-1. This means that fans are seeing things they thought they’d never see again, like Supergirl back when she was working her Flashdance headband, the Great Darkness Saga-era Legion of Super-Heroes, Swamp Thing from the height of his legendary run with writer Alan Moore, Hawkman and Hawkwoman from the midst of their Shadow War, and the Barry Allen Flash before he sacrificed himself for the good of the universe.
Today we’ve got the exclusive first look at the covers and the solicit text for the second issues of five more Convergence series, all hitting comic shops on May 20. If you’re a fan of the Bronze Age, 1980s DC Universe, you’re definitely going to want to check these out.
