DC reveals Alex Ross variant covers for JLA/Avengers #3 and Avengers/JLA #4

Posted on by

This summer, DC Comics and Marvel Comics are rereleasing the historic 2003-2004 JLA/Avengers crossover by Kurt Busiek and George Pérez as a series of facsimile edition comics. DC has revealed an Alex Ross variant cover for Avengers/JLA #4, arriving this August.

The new Ross cover art is part of a 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. Marvel 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. Together, the two covers connect to form a face-off between the iconic teams.

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.

Bad Idea keeps the Gimmicks Flowing with the Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens Ancient Amber Edition

Posted on by

The next Tankers epic kicks off this June with Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens from writer Robert Venditti, art by Tomas Giorello, Trevor Hairsine, and more.

Publisher Bad Idea has no fear of bringing out some of the more creative gimmicks for their comics and this debut is no exception.

Tankers vs. Ancient Aliens #1 is getting an “Ancient Amber Edition” that contains a “Jurassic Insect.” These limited covers feature an epoxy resin with the prehistoric insect inside. But, don’t get your Jurassic Park dreams rolling, it’s a replica Jurassic insect.

The Tankers were sent back 65 million years into the past with a simple mission. To use their weaponized mech-suits to divert the asteroid that annihilated the dinosaurs and buy a little more time before extinction – and a lot more future oil reserves. But deep in Earth’s prehistoric past, something far deadlier than dinosaurs lies in wait. A species of star-faring, super-advanced ancient aliens! Battle-hardened by millennia of galaxy-spanning civil war, the ancient aliens have come to Earth armed to the teeth and ready to unleash the most fearsome arsenal unknown to man. Now the Tankers must wage an all-out war against ancient aliens and monstrous super-dinosaurs alike if they hope to fight their way back to a future worth saving!

Check out the cover and a preview below.
