March 5, 2015: Plenty of Superman in "Convergence" Says Dan DiDio

Superman #1 ComicsAlliance.com sat down with Dan DiDio for a conversation about "Convergence", the two-month event taking place across April/May, and asked him about the comic creators involved, and just how central Superman is to the story. Here's part of the interview...

    CA: In addition to bringing back some fan-favorite characters, there are a number of well-loved, marquee-name creators returning to the DC fold for these two-part stories - as well as some teams who are newer to the DCU fold. Can we anticipate any of these creators working on other DC projects post-Convergence?

    DD: Well, we've gathered so many people to work on Convergence, and we have plans for some of them after - we're always looking to add people to our roster. Our goal for everything is to tell the best stories with the best talent. And that's the great part. Right now we've expanded ourselves outwards, we're working with new talent, but that's not to the detriment of talent we've worked with in the past. We're trying to be as inclusive as possible, while pushing the DC universe forward.

    CA: So back to the actual story, most of what we know right now is that there are these colliding cities, and that Brainiac serves as the initial catalyst and the main villain - or at least, the main villain that we know of...

    DD: Yeah, the main villain that you know of, that's true! [laughs]

    CA: And given that Brainiac is one of Superman's arch-enemies, and you said that the Superman 'Doomed' story helps lead into this event, can we assume that Superman - or SuperMEN, given all the parallel worlds involved - will play a central role in the story?

    DD: There's plenty of Superman inside the story, that kinda goes without saying - especially when we're visiting the worlds of Kingdom Come and Red Son and other fine places that DC has created over the years - and there are also intrusions into the current world, so the present interpretation will also feature in the spine series.
