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

Other comics can develop on it, but in terms of uniqueness, nothing can ever beat the first ever Marvel/DC crossover. It was technically their second time publishing together – having worked together on a Wizard of Oz comic the year before – but the first time their beloved caped heroes would exist on page side by side.

The folks working on it clearly knew what they were doing too, because Spider-Man isn’t introduced until halfway through the comic. This could be waved away as merely a mistake or DC getting more airtime, but the anticipation it serves to build up is also immense, because you know it has to be setting up for something good. The pair meet as superheroes almost fifty pages in, and the moment is so special it gets its own special page.

When a comic begins with signed monologues from Stan Lee and Carmine Infantino about how cool the story is going to be, you know you're looking at something special.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
