His art is always a feast for the eyes.My only complaint about him is his compulusion to draw everything--every blade of grass,every leaf on the tree.Working on a DC or Marvel comic,it's like he's compelled to put every character in their stable in as many pages as he can.Maybe we would get more work from him if he didn't put so much work into his work.Alex Toth got just as much out of his art with a lot fewer lines on the page;Perez should take a page from Toth's sketchbook.

While I am a huge Titans fan, and I enjoyed his work on everything else you listed, it's George's work on JLA which I fondly remember more than the others. His best work? Perhaps not, but the stuff I think of when someone says "Perez"!

Titans.

And it's 'Crisis on Infinite Earths', not Worlds. :)

Crisis and History of the DU were being completed simultaneously; HOWEVER, the HOtDCU was so freeform and nonsequential, I really thought it let GP show his remarkable composition skills, which, to me, are the MARK of a skilled and gifted illustrator. AMAZING.

Perez/Ordway is the best.

Loved the art on Crisis and the Brave & the Bold from a few years back.

JLA/Avengers. Titans had a lot of great moments but George wasn't yet up to his full potential (maybe 90% of the way there). Perez seems to live for drawing as many characters as humanly possible and even Crisis was hampered by having all the DC characters but sadly, half of them were lame. JLA/Avengers had mostly cream of the crop from both Marvel and DC and as a mainstream Marvel and DC guy, it just does not get any better than that book.

Well, COIE did have Perez drawing characters that he'd never drawn before, and the Perez Mr. Tawny was a highlight of that series (for me). Also excellent was Perez's version of Gorilla City. For whatever reason, those two things really stick in my mind about COIE.

The art and characters were the least of the problems in COIE. The final outcome was my main problem with the series.

Yes.

I've posted this before but, reading it as a sixteen year old comic book nerd, I was confused as to why they were re-introducing these interesting characters, showing how heroic they were, only to kill them off in some kind of cartoon apocalypse. It seemed insane to me - they had all this great stuff, and they were just going to dispose of it. I still cannot fully understand the reasoning that led them to that decision.

I'm going with Avengers/JLA but you could really vote for any of Perez's work.

Doctah Fevah!

Yeah, Wonder Woman really connected with me on a writing level, which is remarkable, so it was really well done, but the art didn't ZOW me, like HOTDCU did.

It happens.

I must be a few years older than you. I didn't even realize that Perez had drawn those issues of Avengers that I'd bought in the 70's. If I had been 12 it probably would've been etched in my memory.

Yeah, I was a jaded high school student when you were reading Perez's first run on Avengers.

Most likely a sad attempt to 'Marvel-ize' their line of books. :ohno:
