Well, The Avengers is approaching 800 million worldwide and it has a chance to make over a billion by the end of the weekend. This will open the doors for a lot of comic based films which could be a good or bad thing depending on the quality of the productions. Based on the mid-credits sequence, Marvel is not shying away from the truly epic events for future films, which opens up a lot of possibilities as well. We still have The Dark Knight Rises to come this summer so it will be a one-two punch for great comic movies. if the new incarnation of Spider-Man does well, it'll just be gravy. It's a great time to be a comic book movie fan and the future looks very bright.
100% AWESOME!! AND BY THE MASTER HIMSELF, GEORGE PEREZ. Ross, you have the buy or get a hold of the The Art of George Perez book. Its a wonderful coffee-table, and the insight he provides on his years at Marvel and DC is surprising!
ReplyDeleteThis cover is waiting to be a giant-size poster hanging over the entrance of every hobby shop in manhattan.
I have that book, it's great. I would also recommend Modern Masters: George Perez and Focus on George Perez.
ReplyDelete....now you've got me begging for Anti-Monitor vs. Thanos match-up. And so apropos too, considering....
ReplyDeleteBoth will be featured on upcoming covers.
ReplyDeleteDave sez,
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful thing right there!
I have both Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinity Gauntlet, both excellent reads. War of the Gods wasn't my favorite. But JLA/Avengers was well worth the wait!
Lets have the long-haired, bearded Thor go to blows with the bearded, long-haired Aquaman...title: The King and I.
ReplyDeleteIs Arak ever going to show up here?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever checked out Arak - he was a warlord spin off, right?
ReplyDeleteDoes this count as the most characters you've ever crammed into a cover? Whew!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say it is.
ReplyDeleteArak was Native-American. He kinda a spinoff from Warlord but Roy Thomas really went somewhere else with him. A fantastic, overlooked from the '80s, and the best artwork of Ernie Colon, many would agree.
