In a career that has spanned nearly 30 years, Marv Wolfman
has helped shape the heroic careers of DC Comics' Green Lantern,
Blackhawk, and the original Teen Titans, as well as Marvel Comics'
Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Nova. In addition to co-creating
The New Teen Titans and the universe-shattering Crisis on Infinite
Earths with George Pérez, Wolfman was instrumental in the revamp of
Superman after Crisis, the development of The New Teen Titans
spin-off series Vigilante, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Team
Titans, and created such characters as Blade for Marvel, along with
Night Force and the retooled Dial "H" For Hero for DC. In addition
to his numerous comic book credits, Wolfman has also written
several novels and worked in series television and animation,
including the Superman cartoon of the late 1980s and currently the
hit Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network.
George Pérez started drawing at the age of five and hasn't
stopped since. Born on June 9, 1954, Pérez began his professional
comics career as an assistant to Rich Buckler in 1973. After
establishing himself as a penciller at Marvel Comics, Pérez came to
DC in 1980, bringing his highly detailed art style to such titles
as Justice League of America and Firestorm. After co-creating The
New Teen Titans in 1980, Pérez and writer Marv Wolfman reunited for
the landmark miniseries Crisis On Infinite Earths in 1985. In the
aftermath of that universe-smashing event, Pérez revitalized Wonder
Woman as the series' writer and artist, reestablishing her as one
of DC's preeminent characters and bringing in some of the best
sales the title has ever experienced. He has since gone on to
illustrate celebrated runs on Marvel's The Avengers,
CrossGen's Solus, and DC's The Brave and the Bold.
An interdimensional force is destroying all life in its wake, and Superman and the other superheroes and supervillains of DC Comics must form an alliance in order to stop it. Voice-over artist Christopher Graybill (chrisgraybill.com) and Audie Award winner Richard Rohan (3000 Degrees) deliver solid, compelling performances, while a full cast of some 30 additional readers embody characters including Wonder Woman and Plastic Man. The sound effects and musical score blend effectively into the narrative, heightening listeners' exhilaration. Another powerhouse performance of sound and excitement from Graphic Audio, for sf fans and fans of comics, old-time radio, and audio dramas.-Lance Eaton, Peabody, MA Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
