Now, that’s high praise.
I might track the series down at some point. I know a local joint that’s had the singles recently, so maybe on a week where I’ve next to no new books to snag, I’ll see what’s what with JLA/Avengers.

Busiek’s JLA run even picks up immediately after JLA/Avengers leaves off, catalyzing the return of the Crime Syndicate of America!
If anyone’s looking to push for JLA/Avengers in digital, you can submit a request in this thread.
A request is just that, and doesn’t guarantee anything, but if DC brass see a groundswell of support for the book in digital form, then the requests submitted to the above could possibly be the squeaky wheel that DC’s digital team might apply some Busiek-penned/Perez-drawn Crossover of Crossovers grease to.
Make your voice heard and go request it. The more requests, the merrier.
Its a good crossover
A big reason I first fell in love with comics was because of George Perez. The second DC comic I got was Crisis number 5 (I believe in diving into the deep end). At 9 years old I had no idea what was going on or who most of these characters were or why there were two Supermans and a grown up Robin. But that art was amazing.

I find it a little ironic that the first Perez art I remember seeing is the Legion of Super Heroes set he did for Best of DC Digest 24 in 1982.
One of my favorite bits of that mini is a slightly throwaway line when the Avengers came over to the JLA Earth, and one of the members mentioned something about the land mass of that Earth being a certain percentage larger than their own as a nod to how many more fictional countries and cities that DC has over Marvel.
One of the best artists ever I love Crisis, JLA/Avengers and Wonder Woman
Looks like George had a nice time at DC in Burbank with Jim Lee, Mike Carlin and Marv Wolfman.
Thanks for the share @CaptainYesterday, and thanks to Jim Lee and DC for honoring a living legend.
I hope we can get some kind of honorary tome for Mr. Perez while we’re still blessed to have him in our world.
@SaintBrodie Thanks for your share as well. Andreyko is lucky to know GP.
That is a great photo, thanks for the share.
Also, Marv’s jacket is badass.
I know, I want one.
I wish I read more of his works. I don’t know what he’s made, but I know from friends he was extraordinary. Does anyone have the names of any comics of his I could read on DCUI?
When I saw Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in a theater in 2018, there was a guy in the audience wearing a Nightwing jacket very similar to Mr. Wolfman’s.
It wasn’t Marv (this guy was much younger), but it was a snazzy jacket, all the same.
A few of Perez’s best works from our library:
I’ve been meaning to read this!
