CONVERGENCE brings heroes and villains from nearly every DC era into one big cosmic battle with a brand new enemy. The event begins in April and is a two-month takeover as all regular books go on hiatus.
Endings, beginnings and the future of the DC Multiverse in March 2015.
The New 52 Futures End and Earth 2: Futures End weekly series counts down to a finale this March leading into Convergence – a major event that will take over the DC Universe in April and May.
Here are the official descriptions:

“Where do worlds go when they die?
The Earthquakes felt round the Multiverse, Superman’s lost days after “Doomed,” the World’s End – all these points will converge as the history of the DCU is spun from a new perspective, the perspective of a mad god and his arrogant child. The biggest story in DC history ties into literally every DC story ever told – and it all begins here. Continue reading FUTURES END Final Countdown to CONVERGENCE
A new villain in a story so big DC Comics is putting its entire line on hiatus for 2 months.
Convergence is a new beginning after the finales of Earth 2: World’s End and DC The New 52 Futures End weekly series and features characters from the past eight decades of the DC Universe.
You’ve seen Brainiac in many forms from green skinned humanoid in pink or an alien mega-computer warship with metal tentacles.
You may have seen my wish for Lex Luthor and Brainac to be the villains for the Man of Steel sequel. Brainiac stars in Superman Annual #2 later this month.

Man of Steel will have a sequel. Zach Snyder and David Goyer pulled off the challenge of reinventing Superman. With the guidance of Christopher Nolan and influence of The Dark Knight Trilogy – Man of Steel was a more realistic, darker take on the iconic good guy.
A classic Superman foe is set to make his New 52 debut in Villains Month! Here’s a first look at Brainiac and a tease from DC Comics Editor Bob Harras:
“We already know that Brainiac has been collecting worlds. But why does he do what he does? Surely this psychopath must have motives beyond just trying to save the civilizations being threatened by the 5th dimension – but what are they? What will happen when a new superhero discovers the truth? And how will her startling revelation impact the rest of the DC Universe?
Kick off your weekend by checking out this all-new character design for Brainiac, which shows him both as a doctor experimenting on his son, and as the maniacal villain we all know after he’s mutilated himself into his present look.”
