The only one of those that was truly "perfect" to me was Kurt Busiek/George Perez's "JLA/Avengers" from 2003/2004. Great story and artwork, and just a great time period in comics.

I welcome a reprint, but you know what I'd like even more? If they'd add any of these comics to both "Marvel Unlimited" and "DC Infinite".

I really hope we get a reprint of the Absolute Edition-style "JLA/Avengers" oversized hardcover.

It also would be nice to get a collection of the WildStorm/Marvel Crossovers (especially WildC.A.T.s/X-Men and the World War III story arc).
