Following-up on the books that directly leads into Convergence, and the core kick-off books, comes month two and the end of Convergence. The Post-Convergence table has been set for DC Comics, with the New 52 no more and half of its core line being replaced (checklist included) by new titles; including an all-new, all-different Suicide Squad in advance of the feature film and more Suicide Squad action on CW’s Arrow. So, how do we get there? Well it seems Earth 2 and Booster Gold(s) play key roles. And, Booster Gold is one of DC’s Top 10 time anomalies and has been for some time.
Spoilers from DC Comics’ May 2015 solicitations follow.
