JLA/Avengers Delayed
11/03/2004

Sadly, due to an injury sustained to artist George Pérez's drawing hand, the fourth and final chapter of the epic JLA/Avengers storyline has had to be pushed back on the Avengers United schedule. The final part of the crossover story will now see print in issue 41.

George Pérez has suffered a case of tendonitis in his right hand, a condition where the tendons are inflamed, causing pain when the muscles are moved. This occured after George spent three weeks illustrating the amazing cover to the third part of JLA/Avengers (seen in Avengers United #37). The cover was the most complicated in comics history, featuring over 200 characters. Unfortunately, producing such a detailed piece caused a major strain on his drawing hand. George has continued to illustrate his dream project, but the pace of production has greatly slowed.

In place of the JLA/Avengers story, Avengers United will be running more classic adventures. Issue 38 sees a George Pérez-drawn storyline which features a major turning-point for the team (see the Avengers United section for more details), and issues 39 and 40 will provide the conclusion to the epic Kree/Skrull War saga, with art by Neal Adams, Sal Buscema and John Buscema.

We're very sorry for the delay, folks, but stick around ­ Avengers United will continue to be Earth¹s Mightiest Comic!
