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

6. Darkseid vs Galactus: The Hunger

The concept of having one of the most powerful bad guys from each franchise duke it out alone is proof that A: there is a god, and B; crossovers can be cooler than regular comics.

It also sets up an unusual scenario, where – unless you have a particular favourite – you don’t have to support either party, because both are villains. More importantly, these are villains usually set against characters way less powerful than them – whereas here both are insanely (but equally) powerful.

Indeed, this would have been maybe the coolest crossover to date, if the two had actually had a proper battle in a comic about them fighting. There are some epic fights – Silver Surfer versus countless parademons and Galactus versus an entire battalion of spaceships to name a few – but the ultimate showdown between the big two consists of two laser beams, which is kind of weak.

Every silver lining has a cloud, we suppose.

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