Crossovers between Marvel and DC in movies, comics, games

Crossovers between Marvel and DC Comics have a long and storied history. Overall, they have been pretty successful and well received. In this article, we will take a look at six of them, the first, JLA/Avengers.

JLA Avengers cover 2008

JLA/Avengers was published by Marvel and DC Comics in 2003. George Perez handled the artwork and Kurt Busiek, the writing. Marvel's Avengers starred in the cross-over and DC Comic's Justice League of America. The JLA/Avenger crossover was scheduled to be written, illustrated and released much sooner than it was, in 2003. The companies originally begin making plans for the crossover in 1979. A writer, editor and illustrator were all chosen. However, creative differences resulted in its cancellation. The inability to work together prevented another crossover from being written, the sequel to the The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans.

In 2002, Marvel and DC Comics decided to give things another try. Kurt Busiek was chosen to write the story and George Perez to draw it. As mentioned above, it was released in 2003. A reprint of the story was released two years later in 2005. In 2008, it was re-released as trade paperback publication.

Batman vs. The Incredible Hulk was yet another Marvel/DC crossover. Len Wein wrote the story and Jose Garcia-Lobpez handled the illustrations, which was very good. Some people felt like this was a difficult story to write, mainly because the characters were so different and normally, wouldn't face an opponent like the other. Even still, it turned out to be a good crossover. Joker and the Shaper of the World made an appearance in it as well.
