Beginning with the May issues of the CONVERGENCE miniseries, DC Comics is including 8-page “sneak peeks” at the new and continuing titles arriving this June. This isn’t excerpted content, but all new, standalone stories that give a glimpse of what fans can expect after CONVERGENCE.

Not only will these previews be included in issue #2 of the monthly same day as the monthly books at places like DC Comics.com, Comixology, Amazon, iTunes, Barnes & Noble and iVerse.  So with two different flavors available, DC is giving you a taste of what’s next and a head start on choosing your universe come June.
