JLA/AVENGERS Facsimile Editions to Feature New ALEX ROSS Connecting Variant Covers

Homaging GEORGE PEREZ… DC and Marvel’s Facsimile Editions of the final two issues of JLA/Avengers (or Avengers/JLA, if you prefer) will feature brand-new, connecting variant covers by Alex Ross, and boy are they gorgeous. The first one will be released with the JLA/Avengers #3 Facsimile Edition, due from Marvel on July 22: The second will go with Avengers/JLA #4, due from DC on Aug. 26: Here’s how they look together: The variants will go for $5.99 each. The art, which was created exclusively for these editions, is an homage to George Pérez’s cover from 1983’s Comics Interview Special Edition #6: Noice. JLA/Avengers #1 is set for May 27. Avengers/JLA #2 is set for July 1. — MORE — DC and MARVEL Team Up to Re-Release Entire JLA/AVENGERS Series as Facsimile Editions.

MARVEL Plans 60th Anniversary Celebration of MARY JANE WATSON This Summer

MARVEL Plans 60th Anniversary Celebration of MARY JANE WATSON This Summer

Six decades of Tigers and jackpots… Between now and August, expect a lot of references to “Face it, Tiger… you just hit the jackpot!” because this summer is Mary Jane Watson’s 60th anniversary and Marvel is planning a groovy celebration with a special one-shot and a line of MJ variant covers. Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger #1 will feature the talents of J.M. DeMatteis, Ann Nocenti, J. Michael Staczynski, Ashley Allen, Phil Noto, Alina Erofeeva, Andrea Broccardo and Luigi Zagaria, among others. The ish, with a main cover by Jim Cheung and a variant by David Nakayama, features “all-new stories spanning her most iconic eras, plus a glimpse at what’s next for the inimitable Mary Jane,” sez Marvel. (The Nakayama cover will also be available as a virgin variant.) The broader line of variant covers, which have yet to be revealed, will run across a variety of Marvel titles. My hope is that we’ll see a Facsimile Edition of The Amazing Spider-Man #42, in which Stan Lee and John Romita introduced Mary Jane with one of the most memorable entrances in comics history. The issue came out Aug. 9, 1966. Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger #1 is due August 5. We’ll also be giving Mary Jane her due here at 13th Dimension, but more on that down the road. — MORE — This Gorgeous MARY JANE WATSON Gallery Will Lift Your Spirits.
