George Perez Website Version 5
From Vu
Unfortunately,
Google Sites (Classic Version) have shut down. The George Perez
Website Version 4 lived on Google Sites for the last 13 years. For that,
I thank Google.
If you are wondering, I did play around with the "New" Google Sites.... and it wasn't very good. It is very basic and simple.
According to google.com:
"Starting September 1, 2021, classic Sites will no longer be viewable
by anyone. If you want your websites to continue to be viewable, you
must convert and publish them to the new Google Sites experience before
September 1, 2021."
While I look into migration to another website host (preferably free)... I'm temporarily posting news at weheartmusic.typepad.com/gpz

Augie De Blieck's "1,000 comics I'm glad to have read" (Part 2)
posted Dec 30, 2009 3:03 PM by vu sleeper
From comicbookresources.com
"Avengers/JLA" #1 - #4 : For
all of Marc Alessi's faults, he loaned out an under-contract George
Perez to draw this one. Thanks, Marc. The crossover
turned out to be everything I was looking for: an excuse to switch up
characters and locations across universes, include some silly fight
scenes, and tie it all together with a plot device that facilitates the
whole shebang.
(excerpt)
"The Infinity Gauntlet" #1 -
#6, "The Infinity War" #1 - #6. I didn't include the third mini-series,
because I thought the idea had played itself out by then and I wasn't
all that interested in it. But those first two mini-series are still
the standard by which many cosmic storylines are judged today, placing
the heroes of the Marvel Universe against the likes of Thanos and
Death, or their own evil duplicates. George Perez started the initial
mini-series, before being dragged away for DC's "War of the Gods"
event, a move that would be judged in the future as "silly." But Lim
shone, drawing dozens of characters per page, with epic storytelling.

(excerpt)
While waiting for Marvel's Civil War to
slowly unfold, here is a company crossover from the 90's that Marvel
got right. A rather simple plot, Thanos, the madman from Titan, has
taken control of the Infinity gauntlet. It is a glove that holds the
six Infinity Gems that basically can control the universe. They hold
power over reality, time, the soul, etc. As a token of appreciation
towards the one being he has ever loved, Mistress Death, Thanos kills
half the population of the universe with a snap of his finger's. The
remaining superheroes of the Marvel universe band together to stop
Thanos from becoming a god.

INFINITY GAUNTLET TPB (1992) (Aug 1992)
Marvel Comics |
“The bad guy won,”
was all I remembered hearing on that day in the comic shop. My
ten-year-old mind thought it impossible. Surely, the two patrons were
joking, right? There was no way the villain could ever win, no matter
what he tried.
Sure enough, they continued rambling on about how Thanos, the Mad
Titan, had defeated everyone in the Marvel Universe. The mere
mentioning of this sent a shiver up my spine.
It was not until many years later that I
grasped the enormity of what they were saying. The series they were
talking about, The Infinity Gauntlet by Jim Starlin and George Perez,
did not pass through my hands until almost a decade later. At first, I
thought it was just a book someone wanted me to read until I recognized
the cover: Thanos, clutching his fist adorned with the Infinity Gems as
the universe surrounded him. That is when it all came back.
What I read was not quite what I
expected. Sure, there was a scene were the bad guy won, but at its
heart, the story was actually a bittersweet love story. Thanos was a
man who loved Death. Not the concept, mind you, but the female
embodiment of the Grim Reaper. Trying to get his lady love to return
the feelings, he set about on the perilous journey of uniting the
Infinity Gems, mystic artifacts that can bend reality. He succeeded and
collecting them, but this still was not good enough for Death.
Determined to just see her smile, he did the one thing he was sure to
make her happy.

So, in an
effort to give myself some just plain fun reading, I was pleased to
find, collected in graphic novel form, The Infinity Gauntlet from
Marvel.
I had read the six-issue series back
when it was originally published from July to December of 1991 and I'd
really enjoyed it. Throughout the years as my piles of collected comics
shrank, The Infinity Gauntlet books always found their way into the
"save" box and back into my attic.
Here's the quick and dirty plot
synopsis: Power-hungry Thanos comes to possess the Infinity Gauntlet (a
big glove with 6 jewels on it) that gives him God-like powers over
everything and everyone. In an effort to impress Mistress Death he
wipes out have of the universe's population prompting our Marvel heroes
to unite behind Adam Warlock to save the day.
There is, of course, plenty of fighting,
lots of dialogue like "it matters not" and "prepare thyselves for
battle most fierce" and by the end it's pretty goofy, but it's also a
fun read.

CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
|
80. CRISIS ON INFINITIE EARTHS (DC Softcover)
The most ambitious comic project ever could fill another volume with its body count. Marv Wolfman and George Perez's Crisis
aimed to clean up DC's cluttered 50-year-old continuity by merging the
handful of its parallel Earths into one, but not before a being called
the Anti-Monitor destroys an infinite amount of worlds in the process.
This cover, penciled by Pérez and painted by Alex Ross, is easily one
of the most beautiful ever produced and worth the purchase alone. "It
was actually the first series I ever followed," says JSA writer Geoff
Johns who was 12 at the time. "For me, it really shaped the DCU. I
doubt I would've read many DC comics before Crisis."

79. AVENGERS: ULTRON UNLIMITED (Marvel softcover)
The perfect killing machine has just received an upgrade, courtesy of
Kurt Busiek and George Pérez. Ultron, one of the Avengers most powerful
foes, returns with an appetite for destruction and holds the fate of
mankind in his adamantium grip. After Ultron slaughters the small
European country of Slorenia in under three hours, Earth's Mightiest
Heroes must rally like never before in order to put a stop to this
reawakened threat. But do they have what it takes to send this maniacal
killing machine to the scrap heap once and for all ?

INFINITY GAUNTLET

60. INFINITY GAUNTLET (Marvel softcover)
Even when he's a god, Thanos still can't get lucky with the ladies.
Possessing the six Infinity Gems, Thanos gain omnipotence and kills
half the universe's population with the snap of his finger in an
attempt to earn the affection of the mistress Death. A plethora of
Marvel heroes mount a defensive to thwart the mad Titan, but how can
you beat a god? Only writer Jim Starlin knew the answer. "It had a
hundred characters and mindless destruction, but for all the bombast,
it was really about a guy trying to impress a girl," say Sojourn writer Ron Marz. "Thanos' failure is ultimately one of unrequited love. Who can't relate to that?"

15. THE NEW TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT (DC softcover)
The Titans have a traitor in their midst. This spy knows their secrets
and hands them over to the deadliest mercenary alive: Deathstroke the
Terminator, who systematically takes out the team. Only Nightwing
escapes… but even he needs help in order to rescue them before it's too
late. In this storyarc, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez pull off a lot in
six issues: Dick Grayson becomes Nightwing for the first time, Kid
Flash quits, Jericho (the son of Deathstroke) joins up… and a tragic
blow hits the team. "Judas Contract is a perfect template for powerful, dramatic storytelling," lauds Steve Kurth, penciler for G.I.Joe. "This story was pure magic."

SUPERMAN: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW?
|
9. SUPERMAN: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE MAN OF TOMORROW? (DC softcover)
It was time for the Man of Tomorrow to become the Man of Yesterday.
As DC prepared to start Superman from scratch in 1986, the publisher
watned to send off the "old" Man of Steel that had been around since
1938. writer Alan Moore had Supes face off with Lex Luthor and Braniac
in the Fortress of Solitude a final time, leaving every reader with a
tear in their eye. "A bittersweet goodbye to Superman continuity in
order to pave way for a revamped Man of Steel, Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow worked as both a nostalgic nod to a simpler past, and alook forward to all that comics could be," says Sojourn scribe Ron Marz. "This 'last' Superman story is also one of the best."
|
GREATEST STORIES NOT IN TPBS
JOHN BYRNE'S NEW SUPERMAN Ain't it
amazing that with everything DC collects, it hasn't collected Byrne's
headline-making 1986 revamp of the regular series? Especially the
three-part story where Supes must help save Earth once inhabited by the
"pre-Byrne" Superman where the Man of Steel must take the role of
judge, jury and executioner.
GEORGE PEREZ'S NEW WONDER WOMAN Ditto
for Pérez's 1987 revamp of everyone's favorite Amazon princess. With
stunning art and stronger ties to Greek mythology, Diana enters man's
world for the first time, learning lessons the hard way.
