It’s been over two decades since the last significant crossover between comic book giants Marvel and DC. Since that time, Marvel became a subsidiary of Disney, while DC became an important IP for its owner, Warner Bros. So the prospect of another crossover between universes happening again seemed like a pipe dream. But thanks to Comics Beat (via ) we’ve learned that at the ComicsPRO retailer summit in California, DC Editor-In-Chief Marie Javins and Marvel Editor-In-Chief CB Cebulski announced a new 2-part crossover, over two one-shots. Marvel will publish Marvel/DC, with DC publishing DC/Marvel. Both publishers revealed no other details at this point.
DC Comics/Marvel Comics
The last major DC/Marvel crossover event was JLA/Avengers, written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by the late George Perez. This four-part series marked the end of an era. From the mid-70s to 2004, DC and Marvel crossovers . In the ’90s, the Marvel Versus DC mini-series even led to Amalgam Comics, which saw DC and Marvel heroes mashed up together. But recently, the ice started to thaw on the idea of a new crossover. After years of being out of print, in omnibus format. Fans started to wonder if something was up. Turns out, something was indeed going on behind the scenes.
We have no idea who the creative teams will be for DC/Marvel and Marvel/DC. Much less what the length of each one shot will be. We imagine big-name creators will jump at the chance to see the Avengers face off against the Justice League again, or once more. Heck, this means DC President Jim Lee might even draw the X-Men again. That alone is worth the cover price. We expect more news in the months ahead, particularly at Comic-Con in San Diego this coming summer. With Superman and Fantastic Four both hitting theaters this July, it’s guaranteed to be a joint summer for the “Big Two.” Now, it looks like that synergy will extend onto the printed page for the second half of 2025.
