DC Comics has released six New 52 comic book solicitations for its April 1, 2015 release day. Two of these are annuals, Teen Titans Annual #1 and Wonder Woman Annual #1, and the other four are Convergence related. Is April 1rst an extra week with these the only comics books to be published? As we head into the rest of DC Comics April 2015 solicitations spoilers this month, we look to DC’s March 2015 solicitations that included the below four Convergence related solicitations.
Two of DC Comics’ three weekly series have their final issues hit stands of April 1st. Batman: Eternal does not have an issue shipping on April 1, 2015. It’s been clear for some time that these two weekly series’ finales lead into Convergence.

The book end of writer Grant Morrison’s The Multiversity also ships on April 1, 2015. The spoilers for The Multiversity #1 were compelling and the fact this issue #1 finale issue ships the same days as the other two weekly series, and also involves the Multiverse, appears to complement DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio’s tease that The Multiversity also leads into Convergence.

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.
Kingdom Come, Red Son, Wild West Justice League, Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew – all the worlds you remember can still be found on Telos. Everything matters. Every story matters.
Don’t miss the start of DC’s April/May 2015 event with this special issue!
As a reminder, in addition to the two-month weekly Convergence series, DC Comics is putting out 40 two-shot mini-mini-series:
Happy 2015 everyone!
