Crossover Comic JLA/Avengers Reprinted to Honor Artist George Pérez
The Justice League and the Avengers are coming together to honor legendary comic artist George Pérez, who announced in December that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. One of Pérez’s longtime passion projects was an inter-company crossover featuring the premiere superhero teams at both DC and Marvel: JLA/Avengers. Originally published in 2003-2004, JLA/Avengers featured fights between major superheroes like Superman, Thor, Batman, and Captain America, before the two teams ultimately come together to defeat a greater threat. While the four-issue crossover has been out of print for years now, it will now be reprinted in a special limited run of 7,000 issues this spring by the Hero Initiative in order to honor Pérez. The limited reprint will be available in March, although a specific release date has not yet been announced.
