Marvel and DC's Comic Universes Collide Yet Again
In the comics realm, it's been quite a while since the titans of publishing, Marvel and DC Comics, went head-to-head. But brace yourselves, folks, because they're teaming up once more! This thrilling crossover event was announced at the ComicsPRO retailer expo, leaving fans buzzing with excitement.
Marvel and DC's bigwigs, Editor-in-Chiefs C.B. Cebulski and Marie Javins, shared the exciting news, albeit without revealing any mind-blowing artworks or creative teams just yet. According to reliable source Heidi MacDonald from ComicsBeat, this crossover will take shape as two standalone issues: Marvel's Marvel/DC and DC's DC/Marvel.
Comics enthusiasts will recall the good old days when these two behemoths didn't shy away from a friendly face-off. Back in the '70s and '80s, we saw matchups like Spider-Man vs. Superman or the Teen Titans squaring off against the X-Men. The late '90s brought us the epic DC Versus Marvel and the Amalgam Age comics, where heroes from both camps squared off, sometimes with readers deciding the victor. The Amalgam series even played with the concept of fused heroes – think Dark Claw, a hybrid of Wolverine and Batman.
In 2003, George Pérez and Kurt Busiek merged worlds once more in JLA/Avengers. In this tale, the heroes from both worlds fought not for their own domains but for each other's, thus concluding that their counterparts were subpar protectors of their home realms.
