Wednesday, March 17, 2004 1:55:14 AM
Seite 1: Der von Energieringen umgebene Planet Polemachus und sein Herrscher Arkon (Marvel) wurden vor vielen Jahren in der Rächer-Serie eingeführt. Der streitsüchtige Arkon war nicht selten ein Gegner der Rächer, gilt jedoch derzeit - zumeist - als deren Verbündeter. Seit einiger Zeit ist er mit Thundra (Marvel) verheiratet, die ihre Comic-Karriere einst als Gegnerin des Dings von den Fantastischen Vier begann. Arkons Großwesir schließlich hat seinen Herrn im Laufe der Jahre schon mehrfach hintergangen, doch scheinbar hat ihm Arkon einmal mehr eine neue Chance gewährt.

From Torsten B. Abel
Just wanted to let you know that several people reportedly got the first issue of JLA/DIE RÄCHER yesterday and today. Though it's scheduled for a release next week, it's not unusual for direct orders from Panini to ship earlier, and German comic shops might also get new releases up to a week in advance. Unlike US stores, it's not forbidden for shops to sell them once they got them, regardless of the official release date.
My copies haven't arrived yet, though. :-(

Panini Comics (German), publisher of JLA/DIE RÄCHER, has some special JLA/Avengers content on their website.
A quick translation from Babelfish reads something like:

Monday, March 08, 2004 7:22:56 AM
The Justice League Of America, or JLA for short, was created in 1960 from recently the deceased editor Julius Schwartz, who wanted to repeat the success of the Justice Society Of America from the 40's. The original League, who first appeared in the US comic THE GOOD AND THE BOLD #28, consisted of the at that time most successful solo heroes of the DC publishing house - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the second Flash (Barry Allen), the second Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), the Martian Manhunter and Aquaman, and it run of the time were added over one hundred other incarnations, the League with the Justice League international, the Justice League Europe, the Justice League Task Force, the Justice League Antarctica and the numerous teams of "Extremes Justice", which however only featured short-lived members.

JLA/AVENGERS #1
Finally, the long anticipated meeting of the two greatest super hero teams in comic book history is coming! Comic book legends Kurt Busiek and George Pérez present a breathtaking tour de force across the two universes that showcases big surprises and sensational meetings of the heroes. And of course, the entire cosmos is coming loose as Krona and the Grandmaster are waging a dangerous game between the worlds - and the battle between the League and the Avengers ensues!
JLA/AVENGERS #2
The battle between the universes ensues! Kurt Busiek and George Pérez present, among other things, the definite one-on-one battle between Batman and Captain America, as well as an epic fight between Superman and Thor. Furthermore, lots of other heroes track down the 12 artifacts Krona and the Grandmaster set them up to. The survival of both universes is at stake - but what will happen when Galactus intervenes in the cosmic power play?!?
(Vu: Panini Comic is selling these issues online - for 4 EUR. That is about $4, give or take. It is actually cheaper than the US editions, which costs $5. I am not sure what format it is as it does list "unspecified", but we are assuming they are in Prestige Format. Also, if you click on the header links, it will allow you to see larger scans of the covers in PNG format. PNG is the free format to Compuserve's GIF format.)

JLA/DIE RÄCHER #1 (of 4) (German)
(2004)

This event has been expected by the comic book world for years, and it seemed as if it would never see the light of day. But fans of both Marvel and DC persisted...
...until the two big companies gave their go-ahead. Kurt Busiek was chosen as writer, George Pérez as artist. The comics have just been released in the USA. They became a huge success. Yes, of course we are talking about the JLA/DIE RÄCHER crossover that will be released in German this March! What? You want to know more about it? Well, a few more details that will probably make the waiting even harder for you... JLA/DIE RÄCHER is a four-issue limited series in prestige format, 52 pages each. In it, you will find countless heroes from the universes of both Marvel and DC: Thor! Superman! Captain America! Batman! The Scarlet Witch! Wonder Woman! And, of course, also Iron Man, Martian Manhunter, Vision, Flash, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, Green Lantern...
Together, all of them are fighting a new villain named Krona who is coming to our universe looking for knowledge. But his mission could destroy the entire multiverse! The Elder of the Universe, known as the Gamesmaster, lures Krona into participating in a game in which both the Avengers and the JLA as well as their enemies are involved. First, they have to fight each other, only to join forces in order to stop Krona afterwards!
Look forward to the battle between Superman and Thor, Captain America and Batman, Hawkeye's relationship with Black Canary and other entanglements betwen the Avengers and the JLA! Of course, no-one else could have drawn such an epoch-making event but George Pérez who is crowning his long, successful career with JLA/DIE RÄCHER. Take a look at the images on these pages if you don't believe this!
[The rest of the text deals with the solo books of both teams and has nothing to do with JLA/Avengers. Also, note that they a) spoiled a lot more of the contents than DC and Marvel did for the US version, b) they mistook Krona for a new villain and c) the "Gamesmaster" spelling error...]
The exact release date of the first issue will be announced next Tuesday.

AVENGERS/ JLA #2
(Oct 2003)

I just wanted to inform you that I bought issue 2 today at the "Comic Action 2003" convention in Essen, Germany. So it should be in most local stores by
now.
Ron Marz, who is attending the convention, wanted to have a look since he
didn't have a chance to read the issue yet. He would have preferred to see
more double-page spreads, but aside from that, he seemed to like the issue
at first glance.
The guys from Panini Comics who will publish the translated German version also liked it. :-)
