DC and Marvel Crossovers!

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 – running time 31:35

Superman can't meet Spider-Man, can he? Batman and Captain America couldn't team up, could they? They can and they do this week as iFanboy takes a look at DC and Marvel Crossovers!

Most people who read comic books read superhero comic books, and most of those people define themselves as Marvel Comics Fans or DC Comics Fans. The two biggest companies in all of comic books exist in two separate worlds leading to epic debates among fans like:

Who's stronger, Superman or The Hulk?

Who'd win in a fight, Aquaman or Namor, The Sub Mariner?

Who's got more money, Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne?

Well, wonder no more, because the heroes of Marvel have met the heroes of DC on many, many occasions and this week iFanboy takes a look at their four favorites crossovers!

In Superman and Spider-Man, two of the biggest names in comic books meet in the two-fisted style of early 1980s Marvel Comics!

In The Uncanny X-Men and The New Teen Titans comics most popular heroes take on Darkseid and the real winner might have been Chris Claremont if he was paid by the word.

Things get ridiculous, 90s style, in DC Versus Marvel when the fans were given the power to decide who won the big fights.

At long last, a comic book dream fulfilled as Kurt Busiek and George Perez brought us the project that was over 20 years in the making: JLA/Avengers!
