This comic could have been MUCH better. It's actually a fun read. This is the crossovers of crossovers of all comic book crossovers. I remember when this came out it was a pretty big deal. Not sure people know this exists anymore. Might be the only time you see Robin make out with Jubilee.I didn't really care for the writing, story, or art in this unfortunately. The writing felt sloppy at times, the story was jumbled, and art is dated. Parts felt rushed just to make a mix-and-mach alternate univ...

One of the events that you thought won’t be possible! I got this in its single comic book issues, but I chosen this TPB edition to make a better overall review.This TPB edition collects “DC vs Marvel” #1-4.Creative Team:Writers: Ron Marz & Peter DavidIllustrators: Dan Jurgens & Claudio Castellini THE MOTHER OF ALL COMIC BOOK CROSSOVERS! Yes, I am aware of how frivolous this comic book event is……but……hey! If you’re a comic book fan (like myself!) how can you don’t want to read this!It’s DC v

Yes, it's super gimmicky. And it spends way too much time setting up the flimsy premise instead of focusing on what we want to see, DC and Marvel characters fighting. It does answer that age old question every comic fan speculates on, "Who would win in a fight?" It also leads into the part no one expected to see, mashed up versions of DC and Marvel heroes in the Amalgam Age of Comics.

Dc versus Marvel has the elements of a boombastic epic fight between the two big giant publishers, DC and Marvel. Their mecha-counterparts in the graphic novel, are two monstrous but very similar (save the color and some details) robot brothers who, since time forgotten the existence of each other.The story isn't clear the first time you read it. There are dc vs marvel fights between paired heroes and villains with one from each universe, there is this amalgamated universe from which the charact...

Cool concept, OK execution. Far to much time spent on the thin justification and not enough on what you really want, cross universe battles.

I always heard how over-ambitious and what a flop the epic DC vs. Marvel crossover was over the years and how it played a part to the comic market crash in the mid-90s. Glad I can finally cross it off my bucket 'to-read' list to see how it all played out. I remember seeing the ads for it as a kid hyping up all the crossover match-ups to see who came out on top. The fights are the only reason to tune in for this. They introduce a new character called 'Access' and give him a backstory for why all

In the mid 1990s, comic books were on the verge of collapse. Speculators had seen the insane prices that the first appearances of Superman and Spider-Man were selling for and they wanted a piece of the pie. However these speculators were new to comics and didn't realize that every first issue wasn't going to become the next Action Comics #1.While these newbies were snatching up dozens of first issues at a time, two disastrous things were happening in the industry. 1) Comic book stores were raisi...

Ah, crossovers.Crossovers are a part of fiction that I usually like. True, I haven't seen that many in my life, but the ones I have, I've enjoyed. And this book, billed as "the crossover nobody thought would happen," is definitely such an example.Back in 1996, DC and Marvel ran a crossover pitting their superheroes against one another, that ultimately ended in a temporary draw, and them being merged into Amalgam Comics - a miniseries I'm a fan of, especially Dark Claw (who, if you can't tell, is...

I really expected this to me just all hype and propaganda without a good story to explain the team ups. But I was surprised and the writing was decent and the art very nice. overall a good read. Recommended

I have this comic since elementary school and although the story is not great the battles are epic and it's always interesting seeing the DC & Marvel heroes interact.I guess in the end this book acts more as a marketing gimmick than a full fleshed story especially considering that it takes the eternal (cowardly) approach of "having no clear winner" but I recommend it because it's something that you can't experience anywhere else.Pure Saturday morning/pop corn fun.

This series, and book now, was my very on inception into comics. It had all the elements necessary to cater to a kid that loved Saturday morning cartoons but couldn't understand why Batman and the X-Men never crossed paths or why Superman and Hulk never tried to see who was the strongest. This clarified why those paths never crossed and it crossed them and even merged them into something that I thought was pretty creative. To top it off - in the back of the book, and the original books, were t

Check out my interview with Ron Marz himself! https://youtu.be/BHYPDZ5FX2ASilly, fun and definitely a cash grabThe art is pretty great! There are some awesome splash pages of impossible battles you never thought possible occurring.Some of the character interactions are fun. Robin and Jubilee falling in love was a delight, and Darkseid vs Thanos was exciting (though shortlived.)The Amalgam world stuff was... bizarre. Not necessarily good bizarre either... more like seeing your parents naked bizar...

I loved how they chose two superheroes who can't do voodoo magic/turn themselves into a coloured muscle packed bigger version of themselves/fly/live underwater without an oxygen tank/aren't a God to deliver the climax scene.

I remember reading this when it first came out as a mini-series and both enjoying it but thinking it could have been more. I have read the TPB a time or two since then, but it has still been quite a while since I last visited this series. My reading it this time stems from a comment a reviewer made about the JLA v. Avengers series, how it's only goal was to "be better than" this series and this series had set the bar pretty low, which perked my interest and I decided to read it again when I had

Not that bad, 3.5 StarsSo I finally read this. My expectations were not very high, which probably acted as a benefit. So overall, I liked it alright.First of all, the good things - This is DC vs Marvel! What can one expect more, right?Supi vs Hulk, Baty vs Cap, Flash vs Quicksilver, Green Lantern vs Silver Surfer; and all those other high profile fights. Unfortunately these fights are not even close to what you expect. They are one of the weaker parts of the story. For me some memorable moments

DC vs. Marvel was one of the first graphic novels I read as a child and what a thrill-ride it was back then. Superman vs. Hulk, Batman vs. Captain America, Wolverine vs. Lobo. At face value it seems like a comic book fans dream.Although re-reading this clash of the century was fun I feel it hasn't aged terribly well. Such a monumental crossover event could ultimately have spanned for months and could have been all-encompassing like, for example, Marvel's Civil War event. Instead at 4 issues the

Heroes always fight other heroes when they first meet, it's like a law or something. Then once they realize they are not enemies, they stop. Not here. Here they are forced to fight until there is a winner.And to top off this grand event, the readers got to vote on the winners, or at least the Main Card. Let's see if I remember it all, been a while.Prelims:DC Comics vs MarvelDarksied vs ThanosRobin vs JubileeBlack Canary vs Black WidowAquaman vs NamorJoker vs Green GoblinNightwing vs DeadpoolMain...

This could've been soo much better. The story sucked. too many pointless scenes. I think the writers were More on the marvel side of things. The only good thing from this Was dark claw! Wolverine & Batman Combined.

DC versus Marvel/Marvel versus DC issues #1-4 and Doctor StrangeFate Issue #1I read this unbelievable event back when I was a kid, but haven't read it since then. Below are my SPOILER-FILLED thoughts on each of the issues:Issue #1:Today I read this comic book for (what I believe is) the first time since I originally read it in 1996.  I was about 14 at the time, and I remember loving this Multiversal clash!  Reading it today, almost 25 years later, I may have loved it even more.  Possibly it's no...
