Last week, DC Comics officially announced the Convergence event that will help fill in the gap between DC’s move from the East Coast to the West Coast. For two months, all of DC’s superhero titles will be replaced by the nine issue Convergence miniseries and 40 two issue tie-in miniseries.
Today, DC announced the first ten Convergence miniseries via io9 and Comic Book Resources. As previously hinted, the Convergence miniseries will feature several characters in their pre-New 52 incarnations, including Wally West as The Flash, Stephanie Brown as Batgirl, Barbara Gordon as Oracle and Superman with his red underwear… as well as his wife, Lois Lane.
As you can see from the picture, Lois Lane is pregnant with Superman’s child in the two issue Superman miniseries by Dan Jurgens, Lee Weeks, and Norm Rapmund. Gail Simone, Jan Duursema and Dan Parsons are taking on the Nightwing/Oracle miniseries which finds Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon contemplating their future together before facing an attack by the Flashpoint Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
