10 Best Marvel/DC Crossovers You Won't Believe Exist

1. DC/Marvel All Access

The only thing better than a universe crossover is a universe crossover that has a clever and thought-out plot. Add to that the creation of a character owned by both DC and Marvel, and something genuinely special is made.

It’s a weird thing to praise, but the spacing of the series is close to spe. ctacular. Often, crossovers suffer slightly from having a lot of story crammed into a short space – especially standalone titles. All Access has it easier in that it’s a four issue series, but in those four issues all the main characters get their own solo moments as well as the overarching storyline.

To have a comic that has so much in it not feel too dense takes some very careful planning as well as writing and storyboarding, so it’s clear that not only was All Access a clever idea, it was one carried out by an incredibly skilled team too.

Having two unimaginably large universes do a full-scale crossover sounds an unnervingly vast concept, and yet All Access could easily stand up against most regular comics in terms of story, characters, and generally brilliant execution.

Now, if only the two companies would work together again...
