COMICS: CONVERGENCE #1 Cover & Solicits For First 4 Issues Revealed
Here we have a look at the cover to the first instalment in DC's upcoming multiverse-spanning Summer event, along with details on what to expect from the first four issues. See the refugees from Earth-2 take on the might of new villain Telos after the jump.
Convergence will run for 8 issues, weekly through April and May, but the event will also include 40 individual two-issue miniseries with 10 issues being released every week.

Details on the actual plot of the main Convergence miniseries were few and far between, but now, in addition to the first issue's fold-out cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, EW have released synopses for the first 4 issues.
