Marvel and DC Comics have finally released a massive new book to celebrate their decades of rivalry and shared crossovers. DC and Marvel have been neck and neck in comic book popularity for decades. While the two companies are often seen as exclusive competitors, they still share equal footing in one of pop media’s most influential genres. Sometimes, the companies decide to merge their properties to make something greater.
DC Comics is celebrating on Twitter / X that, starting now, the gargantuan 1,096-page omnibus collecting almost every crossover comic that Marvel and DC have ever shared is finally available.
DC Versus Marvel is a monumental endeavor that celebrates not just the characters on either side of the aisle, but more importantly the amazing writers, artists, and letterers that have made these heroic epics come together. On top of that, DC Versus Marvel celebrates the fans who have become the pillars that these titans rely on to create those stories.
DC Versus Marvel Celebrates Over Twenty Years of Comic Crossovers
Fans Are Hoping for More Collaborations in the Future
Beginning with the dueling companies’ very first crossover, Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century, this omnibus features an impressive sixteen crossover series. Additionally, the collection also includes multiple essays from the original creative teams and various notes from Marvel and DC’s most prominent leaders. From the late 1970s to the early 2000s, DC Versus Marvel takes fans through nearly twenty-five years of comic crossover events, each as incredible as the other.
Superman vs Doctor Doom Settled Why the Man of Steel Can’t Beat Marvel’s Ultimate Villain
In a landmark crossover between Marvel and DC, Superman is pitted against Doctor Doom – and he certainly doesn’t come out on top like expected.
So far, fans are overwhelmingly excited about the omnibus, some noting how they’ve been waiting for years for a book like this to come out. The company’s announcement has further spurred a new wave of interest in more crossover comics. The last time the competitors officially worked together was in 2003 with JLA / Avengers. While many fans speculate that the companies have forgone further partnerships over corporate politics, it still leaves a bitter, yet hopeful, taste in fans’ mouths. It seems that fans are demanding that the two businesses make their amends and give the readers what they want.
Readers Young and Old Will Have Something to Look Forward To
Alongside DC Versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus, another crossover collection that releases later this year, DC and Marvel are making 2024 the year of celebrating all things superhero. While fans are openly overjoyed by the news, hopefully Marvel and DC will finally answer the call and bring back more epic crossovers in the future. For now, everyone should look forward to this beautiful collection of decades’ worth of DC Comics and Marvel crossovers, a wonderful collaboration written for the fans, by the ultimate fans.
DC Versus Marvel is available now from DC Comics.
