According to DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio, the company's April-launching event Convergence is not a self-contained story, but leaves "every door open" when it concludes — and leads directly into June's expected revamp of the DC line.

Convergence is DC's two-month mega-event that replaces the publisher's entire comic line during April and May. Its story revisits concepts from a wide variety of past DC storylines — including fan-favorite characters eliminated by DC's 2011 reboot. In the story, an alien version of Brainiac has trapped cities from various timelines, and during Convergence, the characters from throughout DC's history are meeting in one big superhero mash-up.

As DiDio describes the story, it's a mix of both the new DCU and the best of the old — something the company is hoping will attract "returning" readers along while exciting the diverse new audience that has embraced the rebooted "New 52" universe.

Here’s the biggest question we have: Does this mean some of the pre-New 52 versions of DC’s characters are coming back? Speculation has been higher than ever since the last page of Superman: Doomed #2 teased that trunks-wearing Superman, Jack Kirby’s OMAC, Ted Kord Blue Beetle, the 1980s Teen Titans and lots more are out there in the multiverse somewhere. Other comics tied into Futures End have had similar reveals.
