January 16, 2015: Dan Jurgens and Jeff King Talk About "Convergence"

Convergence #0 There's a lot of hype surrounding the upcoming two month "Convegence" comic book event spanning March-April, and PreviewsWorld.com caught up with the Dan Jurgens and Jeff King who explain how the pieces of the puzzle will now be put together.

    PREVIEWSworld: The tagline is "where do worlds go when they die?" Is it true that fans have been provided clues to this question? Dan DiDio said the Convergence series was teased in DC Universe Presents: Challengers Of The Unknown #7, and the ending of Superman: Doomed #2 supposedly gave us hints on the carnage as well. Are there any more books readers should consult as a primer to Convergence #0?

    Dan Jurgens: Convergence can be read on its own, but if readers want to look for clues they can absolutely be found in other titles. Futures End certainly plays a strong roll in setting it up and taking us there. And, tying in with that, the Futures End Booster Gold issue presented an even more in-depth look at what was coming. As I said earlier, it's a place where almost anything is possible - where the very best of DC history is a reality.

    Jeff King: I'd say read every issue of Grant Morrison's amazing Multiversity to set the mood. Then Futures End #1 and Superman Doomed #2 which show you that some long presumed-dead pre-New 52 Worlds still exist, but they are domed (versus bottled). Then read Justice League International Annual #1 and especially Booster Gold: Futures End #1 because they establish certain characters retain their memories when they travel to, and return from, this place. Finally, in Futures End #22, we meet Brainiac himself in the flesh. And Action Comics #35 suggests that the Brainiac we meet is the Brainiac of... pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths! Because Convergence is the sum of its parts, I'd say it all starts there. Remember 2015 is the thirtieth anniversary of that event. Zero Hour, Red Son and Kingdom Come each have important clues as does Geoff Johns' seminal work on Flashpoint too.
