George Pérez' new gig confirmed: Legion of 3 Worlds!!!

Finally, the rumors had come true! George's new work has been confirmed in Action Comics #863 (last part of "Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes!" arc), it's Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds!

George's wonderful art will join super hot writer Geoff Johns (Action Comics, JSA, Green Lantern) in this mini-series, a tie-in with DC's Final Crisis, with beginning in August.



Here's a brief of a Newsarama's interview with Johns:

NRAMA: What's it been like, working with George Perez?

GJ: The best thing about working with George is all the stuff he brings to it. Usually, I have to meticulously list every freaking detail and research it and scan it and put it all in there, just to make sure it's done right when I have something this big. But with George, I put all that stuff in there, but he goes another step beyond. The opening sequence is just insane. It's a Superman fan's dream. And every time I get a page, I just pour over it. The amount of detail he's putting in there, the amount of extra work, the amount of things he's adding I'm like, "There is a god. His name is George Perez." But it's all related to story. He's really thinking on story -- what's important to the characters and their emotional states, their conflicts, their relationships. He's just a brilliant storyteller.

And a little of Comic Book Resources:

“It’s a dream to work with George, especially on Legion of Super-Heroes,” Johns continued. “And I think the title, ‘Legion of Three Worlds,’ says it all. We are going to have a ton of characters in this, so only someone as insane as George is going to tackle this. George has had a lifelong dream to work on the Legion. And I have had a lifelong dream to work with George. And I love the Legion of Super-Heroes, obviously.
