It’s the grandest Marvel and DC comics crossover of them all and an icon-packed event decades in the making! After years of anticipation, JLA/Avengers reunited acclaimed writer Kurt Busiek (Marvels) with his Avengers collaborator George Pérez—an artistic legend for both companies—to assemble every single member of Earth’s Mightiest and the World’s Greatest in one blockbuster book! Universes collide as the Justice League fights the towering Terminus and the Avengers face the awesome menace of Starro! Each team must undertake an epic quest on the other’s world, with the fate of both realities in the balance!
DC and Marvel will faithfully reproduce the original four-issue saga with classic trade dress, original wraparound card stock covers, and the full story as it appeared in 2003 and 2004. Readers can preorder the issues now at their local comics shop and request all four facsimile editions to complete the set.
The new Ross cover art is part of the two-piece connecting image created exclusively for these new facsimile editions and is an homage to George Pérez’s cover of 1983’s Comics Interview Special Edition #6.
Together, the two covers connect to form a face-off between the iconic teams.
Marvel Comics will publish the first half of the piece on JLA/Avengers #3 in July, featuring the Avengers, and DC will publish the other half on Avengers/JLA #4, featuring the Justice League.
