Can't help imagining a crossover book with the X-MEN & TEEN TITANS written & drawn by JB and Pérez… full art collaboration similar to ACTION 600… where the original teams meet first - followed by the "all-new” teams meeting up in a connected adventure. (Thinking ‘Generations’ as a template.)

What a blast that would’ve been!

Now THAT's an idea to have the art chores done like Action#600 - with JB basically leaving George to draw his Titans, and him drawing the X-Men. That would have made it feel even more like a true crossover!

I just happened to take a look at my iCloud Drive for the first time in years, and it turns out that I didn't just let those breakdowns go unsaved after all!

It shows how much you rightfully trusted George, at least. So many other artists would have turned that Superman into their own, but he made sure that there was still a Byrne Superman in the final product.

I dare say that this is one of the best jam sessions ever in comics. When I see 2 artists with disparate styles on the same page, even when I like both artists, I find it a bit disconcerting because it feels a bit forced.

But this issue looked so natural. I had no idea for decades exactly where Byrne stopped and Perez began. And while I noticed the little switcheroo in styles with the doppelgangers, it went past me that it was intentional. I actually remember where I was in a Junior High classroom when a classmate first showed me ACTION#600, that's how much it blew me away.

Perez drew the covers for the first three issues of DC's
STAR TREK comic series (which I can't upload for some
reason).

Star Trek cover by George Perez

Edited to add: I'm having trouble posting the picture too.
