>The facsimile edition for the first issue of JLA/Avengers (or Avengers/JLA, depending on which publisher you’re talking about) is due out in stores at the end of this month. The iconic series from writer Kurt Busiek and artist George Pérez has been widely unavailable, save for a limited-edition charity collection, for years, and both DC and Marvel are celebrating its return with variant covers for each issue by superstar modern artists. Ryan Stegman, Dan Mora, and Skottie Young have been lined up for the first three issues of the series, and today DC announced that the facsimile editions of issues 3 and 4 of JLA/Avengers will also feature connecting variant covers by Alex Ross, in an homage to the two publishers’ first attempt at teaming up their signature superhero teams.

>issue 3 of JLA/Avengers, by Marvel, will feature the early ’80s Avengers team

>While the cover for issue 4 of Avengers/JLA, by DC, will showcase that era’s Justice League of America

>Savvy fans will recognize the art being recreated as George Pérez’s promotional art for the original Justice League/Avengers team-up, originally planned for release in 1983. That artwork, seen below, was originally used as the cover for David Anthony Kraft’s Comics Interview #6, and accompanied an article originally intended as promo for the crossover but that instead cover the tangled mess of its development. (You can read all about that doomed project in KC Carlson‘s excellent two-part oral history on the subject.)

>The JLA/Avengers Facsimile Editions are the latest joint venture from DC and Marvel, who have in the past eight months released four crossover one-shots starring Deadpool & Batman and Superman & Spider-Man. Hardcover and softcover collections of those crossovers will be available from both publishers in September..

there is rumour in comicbook medium that alex ross hates post silver age characteres, and only like a few from bronze age.

>>153672560
>>153672700
Is it wrong that I thought this was AI, not because it *looked* like AI but simply because I thought Ross would never paint Firestorm (outside that one time) so someone else would try to do it using AI?

>>153672698
>>153672714
It's less hate, and more of a preference, he doesn't really care for that later era of DC.
He actually does like Firestorm in a vacuum, but he doesn't like acknowledging him since his existence means Iris West is dead at that point lol

>>153672746
OP and other people on twitter are fucking morons because they only know about Alex Ross having his cutoff point being the intro of Firestorm and not about how he was inspired by George Perez's art when he was younger, which was also why he worked on that COIE image that Perez drew, decades ago

This cover is basically Ross doing his version of Perez's unused art for the 80s JLA/Avengers also as a tribute, of course he would paint Firestorm for this

Why is he so fucking dramatic

>>153672560
>Diana vs Hercules
Basic, but sure.

>>153672653
This is the real answer

Once Ross started drawing characters he actually made his bones off of a story making fun of it was clear his attitude changed

>>153672600
He's a lame faggot

he would solo everyone in that image so he wasn't included

Alex Ross is a DC guy and he's a VERY specific DC guy

Thank you

He’s an artist dude, being dramatic is their entire thing

>>153672972
>It's Marvel he's cool with drawing new stuff
I feel like you still have to wrangling him into drawing new stuff
>does ASM covers; redesigns Peter's suit by adding more details to the Ditko design
>does Iron Man covers; Tony's new suit is just redesigned Mk 3
>F4 after his Full Circle
>does Thor covers now; same thing
and by the sound of his next project "Marvel Dimensions", one of the main selling point is "over 200 variations of characters", the thing sounds like a giant Golden/Silver Age remix

>>153672849
or, maybe they just think it's funny to point out that Ross doesn't usually like drawing Firestorm

>>153672870
Comic books are so behind the times that all this 80's character designs look straight from the 70's

>>153673359
We still havent moved on from 2012's Saga haircut, and Killmonger's will take us into the 2040s.

>>153672963
Firestorm could turn his atoms into bubblegum, Martian Manhunter could turn his brain into bubblegum, Zatanna could turn him into a rabbit

>>153673334
Or, they're are unfunny people trying too hard to be funny

>>153673557
Saga haircut is 90's fashion, they will simply will never be in the times or ahead of them

Justice 2005 is cringekino

>>153672653
love this liefeld style deadpool hes doing here

>>153672560
Old boy finally caved in.
I didn’t think he’d do it before he died.

>>153672849
His cutoff point has always been when Iris West and Aquababy killed. Ross is so brainrot pouty that he won’t acknowledge anything that comes after that, including Firestorm.

>>153672924
Based blacked Jane Foster

>>153674154
Drawing Firestorm isn't caving in, caving in would be, drawing Marilyn Moonlight or something, an actually modern DC character.

>>153673359
Time is fake and gay.
That image is fucking timeless.

Does Alex Ross hate Firestorm or something?

>>153674302
No, but his appearance marks the cutoff point for when he stopped liking DC.
Basically around the time Aquababy and Iris West died.

>>153674399
Not him posting fwiw. He says in interviews he barely uses the internet and has a guy doing this socials, which is fine. But then every week there's people thinking he's "clapping back" and sons comic or casting news or something much like you are now, like "Oh shit Alex Ross *went there.*" "Ross is pissed lol" etc, that gains thousands of likes. There really should be a line in his bio saying it's maintained by his team or something but instead the admin has actually blocked several accounts for pointing out that it's not Ross.

Well, Ross's social team is cheeky then.
There was no need to zoom in on Firestorm, but we all know why they did it lol

Ross is a hypocrite.
>Muh Satellite Era

>>153675378
Why did they kill off Aquababy and Iris Allen around the time Firestorm showed up?

>>153672560
Nice to see new Elongated Man art

>>153672714
No, he just didn't like the death of Iris West because he felt it made the DCU too dark. Firestorm came around at the same time Iris died and was on the league after she died so for Ross drawing him means drawing a version of the League that exists in a version of the DCU he doesn't like. It's highly autistic but it'd be like someone refusing to draw Sentry because his creation and time on the Avengers coincides with Disassembled and House of M and they fucking hate those stories.

>>153673359
That image was drawn in like 1982 or 1983 so barely removed from the '70s.

>>153675744
Silver Age Batman is shit and I assume he doesn't have the same attachment to Batman he does to things like Superrman, Green Lantern or the JLA as a whole.

>>153674230
Ross has drawn a bunch of more recent comic characters. He did a whole line of JSA pinup covers in the 00s that included new characters.

>>153676155
>hates Firestorm because Iris and Aquababy dying made the DCU too dark
>happily does covers for a series where an enire family gets graphically slaughtered on he page written by a guy who did things like have a comedic character blow out the brains of another comedic character, have a Captain Marvel character shove a mask through a villain's face complee with gore and turned mutilation of an otherwise upbeat character into a running gag

>>153675958
By 1983 they were full punk rock like 90's storm

He only painted Kyle Rayner once, pre-Kingdom Come, and he's been very explicit that he will never do so again

https://www.tumblr.com/jlaclassified/644294582888284160/wahhh-im-never-gonna-draw-kyle-rayner-againnn

once Hal came back he was painting variant covers for the 2005 relaunch

he has not been so strict with Marvel

It's either a lobster or a centipede, not really sure which.

Firestorm and Monica are the most broken characters. Wonder a fight between them would look like.
