The new Ross cover art is part of a two-piece connecting image created exclusively for these new facsimile editions and is an homage to George Pérez’s cover of 1983’s Comics Interview Special Edition #6. Marvel Comics will publish the first half of the piece on JLA/Avengers #3 in July, featuring the Avengers, and DC will publish the other half on Avengers/JLA #4, featuring the Justice League. Together, the two covers connect to form a face-off between the iconic teams.
