DC Releases Info On Convergence's Third Wave

DC Comics have released information on the upcoming third wave of their Convergence tie-in titles, focusing on the Earth-1 characters of the '80s.

With stories set around the time of Crisis on Infinite Earths, these stories seemingly confirm many of the suspicions that the first two weeks' worth of titles had suggested: that things are revolving heavily around Crisis-level events. The first wave's releases continued stories truncated by Flashpoint, while the second wave's look at '90s-era stories that were dramatically altered by Zero Hour: A Crisis in Time.

Could that mean the next and final batch of stories will come from the Golden Age, prior to the "Flash of Two Worlds" story that revealed the existence of DC's multiverse in the first place? Or will it simply be a series of Elseworlds-style books or titles that cross over with the existing ones?

Seems likely we'll know next week. In the meantime, take a look at some of the titles for Week Three, via Nerdist and IGN:
