The Hero Initiative, a charity Perez co-founded, announced Wednesday that it has partnered with both Marvel and DC Comics to reprint JLA/Avengers, the epic cross-publisher event series written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by Perez. Now, we know those tributes will include the long-awaited, much-requested return of one of the biggest comic book crossover events in modern history. Late last year, iconic comics creator George Perez announced that he's been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and that he's decided he won't undergo treatment and "just let nature take its course." The news that one of the most important and influential comics creators in the history of superhero storytelling has potentially just months left rocked the comics world, and set in motion a series of tributes to Perez in an effort to let him know how much he's loved while he's still with us.
