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.

NICE!!!
I wonder if these Alex Ross covers will be available for preorder through Previews catalog?

With any luck, DC and Marvel will co-publish a deluxe hardcover.

I think the facsimiles are a precursor to new collected editions….maybe even a new JLA/Avengers crossover. Would love to see that with Ross interiors, or at least him doing the covers.

Trying to understand here…is the front blank other than the trade dress with the Ross work on the back covers? That blank look just doesn’t work for me. Personally, I prefer my covers to be full-on covers. I’m fine with wrap around images or back cover images. For this, just publish it as a limited print if the idea is to have an unobscured look.

The blanks are the back covers

Now tell me DC and MARVEL are not planning to release the crossover as a deluxe hardcover or something. With this covers. Go ahead. I dare ya.

Hoping they will make a second print combining both issues on one cover
