The New 52: Futures End

Set five years after the launch of the New 52, this weekly DC series from 2014–2015 follows a time-traveling survivor from a ruined future who races to prevent a catastrophic event that will destroy Earth. Written primarily by Keith Giffen, Jeff Lemire, and Dan Jurgens, with art by Patrick Zircher, Aaron Lopresti, and Jesús Merino, the 48-issue saga weaves together a sprawling cast of heroes and villains from across the DC Universe. It matters as a bold, large-scale experiment in weekly serialized storytelling that served as a direct prelude to the "Convergence" event, exploring the consequences of time manipulation on the entire DC landscape.
