CONVERGENCE is here and while readers will get to enjoy two-issue stories featuring characters from multiple universes battle it out, many are wondering about the post-Convergence world. What's going to happen and because there are so many new titles, many readers are questioning what to pick up.
Luckily, starting in May, DC will be giving readers a sneak peek into the future of their books by giving certain issues 8-page looks at new and continuing books. In addition, it's all new material. None of this is coming from the June books. Consider it a lead in or tone-setter to all of these June series.
Below, you'll find the back-up story with creative team listed, followed by the book it will appear in and the synopsis for the back-up story.
