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

4. Superman/Fantastic Four

Beautiful comic covers aside, seeing Superman fight both the Fantastic Four and Galactus in one comic is a wild and luxurious treat. It also contains maybe one of the weirdest plot twists a crossover has ever had, as in the Marvel Universe, it’s revealed Superman is real – as a daytime cartoon. It’s never officially been denied as canon, either, so we can dream of a universe where Peter Parker still watches Batman with his cereal every morning.

It succeeds where some crossovers tend to fail, as the cast are incredibly in character, even in small, funny ways. Most noticeably, Reed Richards is basically the only person to not be surprised that a prime-time cartoon is now hanging out in their workshop – which makes sense when you think of the absolute chaos that is the daily life of Mister Fantastic.

Also, seeing Franklin Storm being a little Superman fan boy in unexpectedly heartwarming, which is always a pleasant surprise.

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