THE FULL FOUR WEEK CHECKLIST FOR DC COMICS' TITLE WIDE CROSSOVER EVENT, CONVERGENCE
Finally I'm proud to present to you the full checklist for DC Comics' two months cross-over event, 'Convergence'. As expected most of these titles are either an amalgamation or reinterpretation of what came out prior to the New 52.
