JLA/AVENGERS #1 Facsimile Edition – Busiek and Pérez bring Earth’s greatest teams together

The long‑awaited team‑up returns in a faithful facsimile of the original #1. Writer Kurt Busiek and legendary artist George Pérez reunite to launch a showdown that pits the Justice League against Terminus and the Avengers against Starro, while each squad is forced onto the other's world.

Marvel’s latest offering restores the first chapter of the most ambitious crossover ever attempted between its universe and DC’s. This facsimile edition reproduces the original layout, including the iconic wraparound cover, giving collectors and newcomers a chance to experience the event as it first appeared.

In this opening chapter, the Justice League confronts the colossal threat Terminus, while the Avengers encounter the mind‑controlling alien Starro. Both teams are thrust into each other’s realms, setting off a high‑stakes quest where the survival of both realities hangs in the balance.

The creative pairing is a major draw: Busiek, praised for his work on Marvel’s Avengers titles, reunites with Pérez, whose art defined countless team books at both Marvel and DC. Pérez’s cover and interior pencils capture the scale of the showdown, making the page‑turn feel like a true event.

If the idea of heroes swapping worlds intrigues you, keep an eye on the companion issue #2 that DC will release as part of the same facsimile line. The two halves together complete the vision of a universe‑spanning battle that fans have been waiting for.

Drop by the shop and leaf through this restored classic; it’s a solid entry point for anyone curious about what happens when the world’s greatest heroes collide.
