This is it! The entire DC Universe, from the dawn of time through The New 52, must fight to survive against a threat that bends the Multiverse to its will. Your favorite characters from every era and every forgotten series are all here! But are you going to say hello again just to say goodbye forever? The stakes have never been higher as the heroes of Crisis, Zero Hour, Elseworlds, and more are brought together for Convergence!
In the first issue of this weekly series, Brainiac has collected cities of doomed and forgotten worlds, who must battle each other - and the losers will be destroyed! But why is he forcing this conflict? Join the refugees from Earth-2 as they unlock the truth behind this world that exists outside time and space and is very much alive! Is Brainiac really in control - or is this planet named Telos an unparalleled force of evil?
This extra-sized issue is packed with twists and turns and appearances you NEVER thought you'd see - including the heroes from the hit series INJUSTICE!

At Alternate Reality, we order 99.9% of the comics PREVIEWS solicits. Keep that in mind as you read the numbers below; they not only break down our week, but they're also a good representation of the week in comics nationwide.

New Comic Wednesday for the second week of April sees a slight overall drop in titles this week over last week and a total reshuffling of the TOP 5. Back in 1st Place this week is DC with thirty titles, hlped in large part to the Convergence parallel variants that are shipping with every issue of that series. One title behind in 2nd Place is Image with twenty nine titles. If first and second place is a tight pack this week third and fourth are equally tightly bunched. Marvel takes 3rd Place with twenty three titles and Dynamite is right behind in 4th Place with twenty two. After languishing in sixth place for the last few weeks Boom reappears in the Top 5 in 5th Place with sixteen titles. Indy Comics continue their slide this week with forty eight books. Parsing through those 48 books we find former strongman IDW in 6th Place with twelve titles and the cheesecake factory ZENESCOPE in 7th Place with six titles. This Wednesday you'll find an overall total of twenty three different publishers on the racks contributing to this weeks total of 166comics.

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHTS: The mother of all fights (DCU edition 2015) begins in earnest, the worlds greatest "non-aligned licensed pulp properties" super team returns, Marvel returns to its Dabel Brothers days, Brian Woods returns to the colonial uprising and Mark Millar returns his gods and we return for another look at this weeks highlights. Last week we sold Convergence # 0 as our 40% off Book of the Week-dare we do it again? Of course, we do sales like this all the time! CONVERGENCE #1 by writers Scott Lobdell, Jeff King and artists Carlo Pagulayan, Jason Pazis is this weeks 40% OFF BOOK OF THE WEEK and in this first issue of this weekly series, Brainiac has collected cities of doomed and forgotten worlds, who must battle each other - and the losers will be destroyed! But why is he forcing this conflict? Join the refugees from Earth-2 as they unlock the truth behind this world that exists outside time and space and is very much alive! There's only one place in the multi-verse that's offering the first two issues of this mega event at 40% Off for the full week of each's release-and that's Alternate Reality! Meanwhile back on Earth Prime our next book is a tale seemingly ripped from todays headlines. In a rush of great public resistance to an oppressive and excessive government, a homegrown militia movement is formed in rural America. This is not 2015, but 1775 and writer Brian Wood and artist Andrea Mutti take a fresh look at the American Revolution in REBELS #1 from Dark Horse and its 40% OFF this Wednesday! Once upon a time Marvel teamed up with fledgling publisher Dabel Brothers to to comic versions of popular genre literary novels. Think Marvel Classic Comics for the year 2000. It lasted a few years but during that time writers like Orson Scott Card and Jim Brucher got a bunch of their stories adapted into comics. Ultimately each company went their own way-Marvel to Disney and Dabel to Dynamite (guess who got the better deal there) Now it's 2015 and James Patterson's Worldwide Bestselling Series gets a Marvel makeover in MAX RIDE FIRST FLIGHT #1. Follow the soaring adventures of Max and her extraordinary "flock"--Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel--as they try to escape their creators and defend themselves from the diabolical Erasers. And its 40% OFF this Wednesday! Last year Dynamite scored a hit with the mini series Masks, a first time ever anywhere teaming up of some of their licensed classic pulp properties. The sequel MASKS 2 #1 ships this Wednesday (and is 40% OFF all day Wednesday) and this time the team consists of the Shadow, Green Hornet and Kato, Black Terror and others. They are drawn into a mystery that spans the decades - a plot that threatens society with the devastating power to kill thousands of people in a matter of seconds: the Red Death. The series is written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Eman Casallos. Arguably the most talented self promoter in comics Mark Millar penns the prequel of his Jupiter's Legacy cast in this weeks first 40% OFF this Wednesday offering from Image: JUPITERS CIRCLE #1. The most celebrated superheroes in mid-century America seem to have it all-but tensions simmer beneath the glossy surface, threatening to crack open the secrets behind their public AND private exploits. Before the family dynasty in Jupiter's Legacy began, there was Jupiter's Circle. Also from Image this week is the second issue from the surprise sell out first issue of Decender. As the brutal robot hunting Scrappers close in on TIM-21, the events that first brought him to the mining colony on the outer edges of space are revealed. DESCENDER #2 by writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen will be 40% OFF this Wednesday. Meanwhile, something dark is coming from Aspen Comics this Wednesday by way of writers Scott Lobdell, Mark Roslan and artists Jordan Gunderson, John Ercek. They thought Gia Sorentino was crazy, and they locked her away from the rest of the world. Yet, following a family tragedy, she has inherited an empire--and with it, the keys to unlocking some of the most unimaginable secrets of mankind. Together, with three other women who possess abilities of inhuman nature, Sorentino embarks on a journey to discover the full potential of their collective powers. FOUR POINTS #1 tells their story and its 40% OFF all day Wednesday. Finally, we wrap the week up with ACME comics offering for the week. Back in the late eighties through the early nineties the publisher Revolutionary Comics did a hugely popular series called "Rock & Roll Comics". After almost one hundred biographies of musical acts they folded up their tents and closed down. Acme appears to be picking up where they left off with this weeks ROCK & ROLL BIOGRAPHIES #1 featuring Slayer and Jason Backer by writer Michael Aushenker and artist Mats Engesten. Future issues will feature Judas Priest, Testament, Exodus, Primus, Slipknot, NOFX, Social Distortion, Green Day, and a special flipbook of Faith No More/Mr. Bungle. As I gaze into my crystal ball and look into the future I hear the words echoing down through eternity: "Hey man-you got any more copies of that Slipknot biography comic? NO?!?!? How can I get me one?!" And so it goes.
