DC Announced 3 Convergence Spin-Offs Coming This Year

DC has been releasing news left and right today! On top of Batman and Robin Eternal and Robin War coming, DC unveiled to IGN that three books from their Convergence event will spin off and get there own series. The series are Superman: Lois and Clark, Titans Hunt, and Telos. Here are the solicits for each series:



Following the epic events of CONVERGENCE, here are the adventures of the last son and daughter of Krypton and Earth as they try to survive in a world not their own. But can they keep this world from suffering the same fate as their own? Can this Superman stop the villains he once fought before they are created on this world? What is Intergang, and why does Lois’s discovery of it place everyone she loves in jeopardy? And what will happen when their nine-year-old son learns the true identity of his parents?



CONVERGENCE is over, but the ripples are still being felt, especially by a young precog named Lilith. What are these visions she’s having of a Teen Titans team the world never knew? And why does she feel compelled to seek out Dick Grayson, Roy Harper, Donna Troy and an Atlantean named Garth and warn them that something dark and sinister is coming after them? Who are Mal, Gnarrk, Hank Hall and Dawn Granger, and what is their connection to the others—and to the fate of every soul on Earth? This is the Secret History of the TEEN TITANS! 



The villain of the world-shattering CONVERGENCE event stars in his own new series! Set loose from his planetary tether at the end of the best-selling CONVERGENCE, Telos finds himself free and able to traverse space and time via a sliver of Brainiac’s powers. As this epic begins, he embarks on an odyssey, journeying across time and space in search of his past.

Superman was definitely one of the titles that deserved to get an ongoing after Convergence. Dan Jurgens' voice of Superman was consistent and his story was excellent. DC announcing him coming back on board for Superman is an instabuy for me. Then there's Jeff King returning to write a Telos series. I'm not interested in this at all. Sorry King but Telos was never interesting in the main Convergence series. He proved to be a very underwhelming villain. Titans Hunt definitely has my interest. It's just a little confusing to me that  the cover has the New 52 characters around a tombstone, and pre 52 version of the Titans looking below at them. I'm going to need more info from the writer on this one to get an understanding of what exacly is going on here.

Telos will be shipped out on October 7th by Jeff King and Carl Pagulayan/Jason Paz, Superman: Lois and Clark on October 14th by Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks, and Titans Hunt on October 21st Dan Abnett and Paulo Siqueira.
