Earlier this month DC and Marvel announced a pair of new omnibus editions, DC Versus Marvel Omnibus and DC Versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus, collecting, respectively, their classic crossover one-shots and the three DC Versus Marvel miniseries and Amalgam Universe tie-ins of the ’90s. Preliminary cover art for the bookstore editions of these books have been floating around since the announcement was made, and today at ComicsPro DC unveiled final versions of those covers, as well as an in-progress look at the direct market variant cover for the Amalgam Age omnibus, featuring artwork by DC Publisher, President, and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee.
Here’s Lee’s in-progress variant cover for the book:
The final cover art for the DC Versus Marvel Omnibus mass market edition has also been revealed by DC, though it’s been available to view on the Penguin Random House site for much of today. Where a preliminary cover featured art by John Romita Jr. repurposed from the DC/Marvel Crossover Classics Volume 2 collection, the new cover features art by George Pérez repurposed from the original The Marvel/DC Collection: Crossover Classics trade paperback.

$150? Ugh.
Weird choices by Lee : one villain among the heroes, ladies in the background and no member of JLX. and i’m not convinced by his Spider-Boy.
$150 without JLX and Magnetic Men because of Gerard Jones.
What a joke.
