If you ever wanted to see a mash-up between DC heroes from before the New 52 went into effect and Stephen King’s Under the Dome, you’re in luck next year during Convergence.

Just kidding, sort of. Comic Book Resources got the exclusive earlier today, as DC let the site unveil the first 10 of what are supposed to be 40 two-issue mini-series that cover April and May 2015 when the company’s regular comics all go on hiatus.
You can check out the capsule descriptions on CBR, but the 10 titles are:
- Superman
- The Atom
- Batgirl
- Nightwing/Oracle
- Speed Force
- Titans
- Justice League
- Question
- Batman & Robin
- Harley Quinn
Along with plenty of fan favorite pre-New 52 characters and the Flashpoint versions of certain heroes, the series descriptions also hint at the various realities physically interacting thanks to something called “The Dome,” which appears to be a literal dome made up on interlocking hex-shaped tiles. If that is indeed the case, it makes DC and Marvel’s plans for next spring look even more similar, at least from six months out.
It also makes the first piece of Convergence promo art, pictured above, look like something we’ll actually see, with the new villain Telos capturing pieces of the various realities for his own purposes. Is it time to get excited about the return of some much-missed characters or cynical because they’ll only be around for two months? You make the call.
