Convergence: Action Comics

There's an interview up on the Rama with writer Justin Gray today about the Convergence Action Comics series. Nice interview with some sweet Connor/Mounts covers. Turns out the series pits Bronze Age Superman of Earth Two and his cousin Power Girl from the same era against Red Son Superman and Wonder Woman. Issue two evidently features the big fight between evil WW and PG, who amazingly enough seems to be the main character of the mini, according to Gray. Well, perhaps not that amazing, considering this is his second crack at writing the character. But this is the first and probably last serious re-team of Kal-L and Kara Zor-L in all their (looks like end of Bronze Age) glory, so it's probably a must buy for real PG fans.

It's also of course the second of the shots at writing Power Girl, (and covers too), for members of the original team on the first run of her solo title.

There is also of course upcoming the Harley Quinn/Power Girl re-team, but that doesn't appear to be a Convergence event.

Thanks Achilles. When will this series be on sale?

It's part of Convergence, so, summer. After which she's part of the Society, basically the new Justice Society book. Exactly where that's set is unknown.

So, to sum it up, PG's got two limited series coming up, and one ongoing, Earth 2: Society. She may or may not have more also coming up. From the interview, PG seems to take on the role of Superman in Society, retaining the "S" and becoming more like her cousin, while Val-Zod remains kind of the way he is. It's implied that they use their powers differently. I'm pretty sure Huntress survives---where she winds up I don't know. Indeed, where Society is set is unknown, save that it's on a new world, with the few survivors, and is more sunny in tone than the bloodbath that Earth 2 has been.

The Harley limited series features Vartox...

The Convergence one features PG fighting evil Wonder Woman.

There was also some talk of PG fighting Darkseid in the main World's End series, but I haven't seen all the issues yet, and it may be yet to come.

Appreciate the summation, will have to look into these issues.

Sounds cool, especially the Power Girl/ evil Wonder Woman fight!
