Masters of Evil Vs. The Justice Society of America

 

This Anniversary Issue took quite a bit of tweaking for me to get it to work. Here's a behind the scenes look at how I removed the Marvel heroes to make room for the JSA:

you weren't exaggerating in the slightest, Ross!! The blend of villians and heroes is a bonafide success! Enough x-factors on both sides to give no outcomes a sure thing for either group or sub-team. Time Seige has it ALL!

A lovely job. (Plus another look behind the scenes.)
Comparing your cover with the original I was really struck by how much I felt your version improved the orginal. It finally dawned on me that it's your neat use of the iconic JSA heroes that heightens the power all four panels for me.

5 Davey you're overlooking the center. How long did it take to design the members of choice?

EXCELLENT! :-D

Although, the question beneath Spidey's face is still valid. Who masterminded this confrontation between the MOE and the JSA? Give the title you selected, my first guess would be...Per Degaton!

Nuff said.

another Great Cover , though Dr. Fate would be a bit over powered until he faced off MoonStone…
and would Madam Web and Madam Masque be the cause of the Battle… as both enjoy interfering !

I've sometimes wondered... if these guys are MOE, who are LARRY and CURLY? #Rimshot

Comparing the original panels to what you turned them into, Ross, I have to say that your hunt for appropriate images really paid off here. There isn't a hero out of place.

Great idea! No complaints, the figures go together really well. But it does get me thinking about Roger Stern's "Siege" MoE vs. Robinson & Johns' JSA, featuring Goliath vs. Atom Smasher...

Great work on this one, Ross!

Glad everyone seems to dig this one, I was happy with the way it came out. I appreciate the kind words!

Another great cover!!

Detective Tobor said...

@Bob G, that would be the Joker with a hibiscus and...who else but Luthor!

Wonderful! Making a cover work with this many characters has got to be close to impossible. Fantastic job.
