In this section, we like to highlight some of the hottest trending comic books. So up first, is this little gem that went largely unappreciated upon its release. In Convergence: Superman #2, the DC Comic world is introduced to Jonathan Kent as a baby, who grows up to be the new Superboy. With the DC Universe Rebirth tie-in that was sort of unexpected, collectors are scrambling to add this first appearance to their collections. Of course, the story is actually pretty good as well, which can't be said about many of the Convergence mini-series.
The cool part about this book is that it can be found in dollar bins in comic book shops across the country still; however, word has started to spread and they are being snapped up at record pace. Sales on online auction sites are starting to approach the $10 level, which makes it a pretty sound bet for speculators. While the ramifications of Rebirth are still fairly unclear, this could be a key issue by the end of the summer instead of the mildly interesting title it is right now.
Convergence was sort of an interesting affair when it happened, but it looks like DC and Geoff Johns are eager to tie everything together into a nice neat package. That's a pretty impressive task that should scare the pants of comic book fans everywhere. Who knows where the path will lead?
Still from a buying point of view, Convergence: Superman #2 will be one of those comics you wish you picked up when you saw it in the bargain section and it could become one of those books you wish you added to your collection when it was just a ten dollars book. It's always tough to say, but with limited back issues available at your local comic store, pick it up and take a shot at cover price or below. This one is probably worth the risk.
On a scale of one to Naomi VonKreeps, this ranks near the top.
