AMAZING COMIC CON ALOHA 2019 (22-24 Feb 2019)
Honolulu, Hawaii
AMAZING COMIC CON ALOHA is kicking off tomorrow. Here are the George Perez-related panels ...
Posted by Vu Sleeper
Collecting for the FIRST TIME the inaugural Avengers/T-Bolts crossover,
in time for this month's all-new AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #1! The T-Bolts
and Earth's Mightiest Heroes stand side-by-side against Count Nefaria,
master of ionic energy! But before they can confront the Count, they'll
have to deal with their own ion-empowered teammates, Atlas and Wonder
Man - both of whom have fallen under Nefaria's thrall and now act as his
henchmen.
Featuring the JLA/AVENGERS team of KURT BUSIEK & GEORGE PÉREZ!
5. You’ve worked with some of the biggest artists in comics. How do
you compare working with Jim Lee with working with Ed McGuiness or Tim
Sale?
Jeph Loeb: Everybody is different, and I try to write to a particular
artist’s strengths. The way that I work with Tim is extremely unique.
Tim is my best friend. We talk everyday. We have a very strong personal
bond and have worked together for so long that when I write something,
it’s almost like he’s drawing it as I’m writing it. I know what it’s
going to look like on the page before it’s even happening. And when he
surprises me – which is quite often – It’s really, really delightful.
Jim is a challenge, in the sense that he’s so meticulous in terms of the
work and I think in many ways the expectations on him are much higher
than anyone else I’ve ever worked with. He’s certainly the most famous
artist I’ve ever worked with, in terms of his entire body of work. There
are very few people who read comics who don’t have some of Jim Lee’s
X-Men. And I think the people who are reading Batman are looking at
every single panel and are deconstructing what Jim has done from my
script and are amazed and delighted. Because it’s very hard to do what
Jim is doing. The only other time that I can think of anyone doing it as
successfully was when George Perez came back to the Avengers and
everyone said, “After three issues George is going to flame out.”
When people first heard that Jim was going to do Batman, they
immediately said “Well, that’s great. He’s going to do an issue and a
half and then that will be the end of that.”

Avengers Assemble
From AVENGERS #37 (transcribed by vu)
"Avengers Assemble!"
Not only was AVENGERS 34 the end of
the "Nefaria Protocols" crossover with THUNDERBOLTS, it was also the
very last issue penciled by lengendary penciler George Pérez. So many
of you were touched by George's work that we've decided to devote this
month's Avengers Assemble to your reactions to his departure.
I just wanted to give more
kudos to George Pérez. I was reading AVENGERS during his first tour
of duty back in the seventies (he also did some great FF's during that
time), so it's hard for me to say goodbye again. Ah, well. Nothing
lasts forever. Thank you, George, for teaming with Kurt to return
AVENGERS to what it should be - the flagship of Marvel comics. We will
miss you ! may all your future endeavors be successful.

AVENGERS #34. what can I say but fantastic? Kurt busiek once again
proves his worth on earth's Mightiest, and George Pérez certainly went
out on top on this book.

RE: George Pérez leaving AVENGERS .... No, George. Thank YOU! We will miss you a great deal.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'm sorry to see George leaving
the title. I thank you for your time and for a terrific story, and I
cannot wait to see where Avengers will go in the months and years to
come.

I can't believe that George is leaving AVENGERS. His art work is some
of the best there is in comics. I doubt that any other artist could
fill his shoes, but at least Kurt is still there to pump out the amazing
stories we see every month. Even with the loss of George, I bet that
AVENGERS will still be the best comic in the Marvel Universe.
