Convergence: The New Teen Titans # 2 2015 VF/NM

Convergence: The New Teen Titans #2 (2015), written by Marv Wolfman with art by Nicola Scott, concludes the miniseries' conflict and offers a bittersweet resolution for the classic team from the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Metropolis.

Plot Synopsis

Picking up where the first issue left off, the New Teen Titans are in a standoff with the Tangent Universe's Doom Patrol. Both teams are comprised of genuine heroes who do not want to fight each other, but the rules of the Convergence event dictate a winner and a loser.

• The Truce & The Solution: The Doom Patrol reveals they need a massive power source to save their own Earth. The Titans, realizing this is a fight of survival versus survival, work to find a solution. Cyborg (Victor Stone), whose own power source is key, manages to locate the exact energy signature needed within the city.
• The Sacrifice: Together, the heroes use the power source to activate the Doom Patrol's device, which allows the Tangent team to return to their home dimension and save their world. This act of altruism defies the rules of Telos's tournament.
• A Final Farewell: Having saved the opposing team, the New Teen Titans accept their fate. Just as their city begins to fall to the repercussions of their actions, the characters share emotional farewells.
• The Bittersweet End: In the final pages, the city of Metropolis is enveloped and presumably destroyed, but the characters meet their end with dignity and peace, having chosen to act as heroes rather than cold killers. This specific conclusion was later part of the larger Convergence event's final retcons that ultimately prevented all the cities from being completely destroyed.

Key Themes

The conclusion emphasizes themes of self-sacrifice, morality, and the inherent heroism of the characters, showcasing their choice to save another reality at the cost of their own lives. It provides a definitive, albeit tragic, ending for this beloved iteration of the team within the context of the event.
