ACTIONVERSE: STRAY #6 (28 Feb 2018)
Action Lab
I was talking about my George Perez homage pin up that appeared in Actionverse featuring The Stray #6 recently, so I thought I'd repost it here. The comic itself had a couple different covers. The one I got for my copy was the Mitch Ballard cover because it featured a homage to another George Perez Teen Titans cover. Seemed appropriate.

5 QUESTIONS WITH... BLAIR BUTLER
published in WIZARD #181 (Nov 2006)
(excerpt)
What books are you enjoying right now?
Right now, at the top of the list is always going to be Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, The Ultimates is fantastic, Astonishing X-Men, Walking Dead, Jonah Hex absolutely, IDW's Zombies, Optic Nerve, Local... I also really loved Justice League of America #0
New York, NY —
Warner Books (the publisher of David Baldacci and Nelson DeMille) and
DC Comics (the largest English-language publisher of comics in the
world and home to such iconic characters as Superman, Batman and Wonder
Woman) announced today that novelist Brad Meltzer has become the first
author to top The New York Times Bestseller List and the Diamond Comic
Distributors Top 100 Sales Chart simultaneously. Meltzer's new thriller
THE BOOK OF FATE—which debuts atop the New York Times list on September
24—features a decade-old presidential crossword puzzle, a disturbing
secret buried in Masonic history and a 200-year-old secret code
invented by Thomas Jefferson. Issue number One of Meltzer's JUSTICE
LEAGUE OF AMERICA, which tells the story of the re-formation of the
world's greatest superhero team, anchored by Superman, Batman and
Wonder Woman, is the overall top comic book in both dollars and units
the Diamond Comic Distributors Top 300 Sales Chart for the month of
October.
"There's one name on the cover of every
book, but only a fool thinks it's a one-person show," said Meltzer.
"Warner built this. DC Comics built this. And most important, they
built it together."
The book quickly
establishes the intense friendship developed by Superman, Batman and
Wonder Woman through a series of vignettes drawn by legends in the
sequential art industry.
Names such as George Perez, Dick
Giordano, Dan Jurgens, Howard Porter and Jim Lee each leave their style
upon a few of the 24 pages that chronicle significant incidents that
have shaped the league through the years.
From an initial meeting in the Batcave
by the three to the wedding of Donna Troy to the apparent death of
Superman to the Seven Soldiers struggle, Mr. Meltzer covers a ton of
real estate but delivers helpful context and a seamless entry point for
his era of the JLA.
THE WEDDING OF DONNA TROY (p. 7)
Art by George Perez
MELTZER: For me, this is the true royal wedding in the DCU. No supervillains attacking, no Skrulls, just a wedding.
PEREZ: When I got the assignment, I had
assumed I'd be drawing the JLA. I was quite surprised to find that I
was recreating the wedding of Donna Troy and Terry Long. I found out
later that Brad had created the scene especially so I could draw it-and
so he could purchase the original art. [Laughs] I think I did it better
this time. Since my wife Carol designed the dresses for the bridal
party, it was nice to draw them again.
MELTZER: Working with George brought
tears to my eyes. His Justice League of America, Avengers and New Teen
Titans are the reason I'm a comic reader.
PEREZ: Inking myself allowed me to get a
little more detail into everything. I drew Bruce Wayne a little
differently from two decades ago, since at the time I hadn't yet nailed
down a definitive face for the character and the inkers, Dick Giordano
and Mike DeCarlo, working from my layouts had more liberty.
Though the series kicked off last month in the special issue #0, Brad Meltzer’s Justice League of America
kicks off in earnest next week with the release of issue #1, and fans
will begin to find out what they’ve been wanting to know for months –
who's on the roster?
As we promised last month, Meltzer is
coming back to Newsarama again to answer your questions about issue #0,
issue #1, or the series in general, but we’re shaking things up and
doing things a little differently this time around.
Celebrating some of this years biggest landmarks with creator and
celebrity signatures! For the first time ever DF is bringing the
signature of Allan Heinberg (of Sex and the City, The O.C. and Grey's
Anatomy) signing a limited number of Wonder Woman #1's for this
appearance WITH the signatures of artist extra-ordinaire Terry and
Rachel Dodson to complete this package - all just in time for Wonder
Woman's 65th Anniversary! - appearing on the show! And out of a
"crisis", something always happens to a Flash! To commemorate the new
Flash #1, DF is bringing it signed by artist Ken Lashley, and just in
time for the Silver Age of the Scarlet Speedster's 50th Anniversary!
And if that were not enough, DF is bringing in the "all-star"
signatures of Michael Turner on the hot debut issue of Justice League
of America #0, PLUS great signatures by classic artists Nick Cardy and
Mike DeCarlo, with signatures from George Perez, Tom Smith, Alex Ross
with Jim Kruegar, Justin Gray and others from DC's brave new world and
their distinguished history!

The artwork in the issue is just as capable as the writing, which
is surprising considering the number of hands in the same pot.
Twenty-three different artists had a hand in the rendering of the
panels, but instead of feeling like a jam session of artistic talent,
Meltzer employs the different styles and techniques to assist in the
storytelling, creating feelings of nostalgia as well as excitement for
future incarnations of the League. Selfishly, I loved the pages by Dick
Giordano and George Perez, as it recreated the comics I read as a kid.
In my opinion, the most effective pages were done by Eric Wight (loved
the classic feel) and Kevin Maguire (you can’t help loving the faces he
draws). Yes, some of the art was lackluster, but all of the pieces fit,
creating a look that backs up the jumps in time. The most disheartening
aspect of the art, and the entire issue in general, was what was
provided by Ed Benes and Sandra Hope, who will be the series “regular”
art team. Benes’ rendering of faces doesn’t really do it for me, as
they don’t really express the emotions of particular characters. In a
couple of panels, Superman almost looks stoned! As for Hope, her inking
lines are way too much, cutting into each and every muscle and facial
feature. It actually distracted me during the conclusion of the issue,
which is something an inker should never do.
