Comic book history is roaring back to local shops this summer as DC Comics and Marvel Comics join forces to reprint the landmark 2003-2004 JLA/Avengers crossover. Originally crafted by the legendary team of Kurt Busiek and George Pérez, the epic four-issue series will return as exacting facsimile editions, complete with classic trade dress, wraparound cardstock covers, and the original story entirely intact. Elevating the re-release is a breathtaking new two-piece connecting variant cover by master painter Alex Ross, paying direct homage to Pérez’s classic 1983 cover from Comics Interview Special Edition #6.
Marvel will kick off the visual showdown by publishing the first half of the image on JLA/Avengers #3 this July, spotlighting Earth's Mightiest Heroes. DC will then complete the epic panorama in August with Avengers/JLA #4, featuring the Justice League. When placed side-by-side, the covers form a massive, face-to-face confrontation between the two iconic teams. Fans and collectors looking to secure this monumental crossover can preorder all four facsimile issues at their local comic shops now.
