Comics Profile: Crisis on Two Earths
Wednesday, October 1, 2003
20 years later and the legendary JLA/AVENGERS crossover is finally here
Imagine a cosmic threat so powerful that only the premiere super-teams
of two Earths could hope to defeat it. Now imagine that fans have been
waiting for 20 years to read this epic saga and you’re ready for the
monumental impact of JLA/Avengers, a four-issue miniseries debuting this
month from Marvel and DC Comics. Scripted by Kurt Busiek and
illustrated by George Perez, this is a project that became a legend long
before it was published.
“JLA/Avengers was begun 20 years ago but fell apart over editorial
disputes between Marvel and DC,” says Busiek. “George had drawn a bunch
of pages back then, and the lost opportunity of getting that project
with that artist became something of a legend over the years.”
With memorable runs on JLA and Avengers as well as the “lost” crossover,
there was never any question that Perez would draw this saga whenever
it finally happened. But once Marvel’s editor-in-chief, Joe Quesada,
gave the go-ahead, who would write it?

From Vu
If you are a fan of CrossGen, you should definitely pick up a copy of CINESCAPE #73 (Oct/Nov 2003),
with comes with the free version of WAY OF THE RAT (I have also
included the Free Comic Book Day Edition Variant, in case you were
collecting promos).
There are also several articles on CG in CINESCAPE, including
Bridging the Generation Gap
and Rat's Pack,
both articles were written by Arnold T Blumberg (all their articles are
in full color, but for file size reasons they are shown here in black
and white).
Last month, Cinescape also included another free CG comic, SNAKE
PLISSKEN CHRONICLES #1, which I believe were only available to their
subscribers and not in their newstand editions.
They started covering CrossGen Comics with Cinescape #71, as seen in Crossover with Robert Rodi.
Since this summer, Cinescape have been covering more pop-culture/comic
book-related movies, which I think is pretty cool. More information can
be found on their website, www.cinescape.com.

Excerpt from article:
CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS
published in CINESCAPE #73
(Oct/Nov 2003), www.cinescape.com
written by Arnold T Blumberg
Imagine a cosmic threat so powerful that only the premiere super-teams
of two Earths could hope to defeat it. Now imagine that fans have been
waiting for 20 years to read this epic saga and you're ready for the
monumental impact of JLA/Avengers, a four-issue miniseries
debuting this month from Marvel and DC Comics. Scripted by Kurt Busiek
and illustrated by George Pérez, this is a project that became a legend
long before it was published.
…
"We knew this was going to take a long time, with George penciling and
inking 200 pages," says Busiek. "So we didn't work too hard to fit into
continuity. Costumes would change, characters would undergo trauma and
what not, and if we tried to keep up, we'd go nuts. The main point isn't
whether it fits the timeline but weather it's a good read. That's what
we concentrate on."
