The
finale of Earth 2 World’s End #26 leaves the heroes defeated against
Darkseid. As Earth 2 falls the surviving heroes are taken by Brainiac leading
to Convergence #1. Little closure is given as the story picks up in June
when DC Comics launches Earth 2: Society picking up where the heroes
left off following World’s End and Convergence.
The
final issue of New 52 Futures End #48 sees Tim Drake as the new Batman
Beyond only to find out that Brother Eye still rules Earth 0 in the future while
Terry McGinnis is still the Batman Beyond of Earth 12 hence the title Futures
End depicting multiple futures. Again little closure is given as Brainiac was
defeated a few issues ago leading to the events of Convergence and a new
Batman Beyond series starring Tim Drake picks up in June.
Convergence
#0
begins with Superman meeting multiple Brainiacs who reveal the Master has not
returned from Earth 0. Unknown to them the Master Brainiac was defeated in Futures
End. We learn Brainiac has been defeated by Superman throughout the
multiverse however dies by other means. The events of Superman: Doomed where
Superman was infected by the Doomsday virus was orchestrated by Brainiac after
witnessing the Death of Superman in another universe.
The
cities of dead worlds are here from throughout the Multiverse. Now Telos releases
the domes that separate each world so the characters will fight to survive. The
surviving heroes of Earth 2 after World’s End will arrive in the first
issue of Convergence. Overall this is a great issue if you have been following
the events of Superman: Doomed, Earth 2 World’s End and New 52
Futures End.
