| DC Comics’ CONVERGENCE #0 hit stands this week. As mentioned in recent episodes of Parallel Lines: The DC Comics Tangent Universe Podcast, the “Convergence” event will mark the first significant appearances of the Tangent characters since 2009.
Here’s a look at issues where it’s been solicited the Tangent characters will appear. We’ve talked briefly about each of these on the show, but here are all the solicitations in one place. Keep an ear on future episodes of the show, and we’ll try to track down other appearances of the Tangent characters, if any, throughout the 89 (yes, 89!) “Convergence”-related issues.
