If you've surfed the news sites over the past day, then you caught word of how CBR and io9 announced the first week of DC's Convergence mini-series, with news on plots and the creative teams making the magic. And then there's the artwork. Absolutely fabulous. And in some cases, quite a few questions arise because of these powerful pictures. No worries, though. A timeline has been established for the context behind the imagery: we are looking at the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe, and featured are glimpses of characters from Stephanie Brown’s Batgirl, to Wally West’s Flash. According to DC's web site, issue #1 of the first two-issue mini-series hits shops on April 8th, with issue #2 following on May 6th.
