Then fighting happened, and somehow Robin was useful. X-Men/Teen TitansĬonsidered to be one of the best Marvel/DC crossovers to date, the X-Men and the New Teen Titans crossed paths in 1982 when Darkseid broke the universe barrier in an attempt to resurrect and harness the power of Dark Phoenix. (There’s also the meta-movie crossover in which Patrick Stewart plays both Professor X and Picard, but that’s besides the point). It apparently happened again with Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men, when the X-Men met Captain Picard. While it might seem odd to think the modern day X-Men would ever run into the crew of the USS Enterprise and Captain Kirk (considering the whole “outer space” and “distant future” aspects of Star Trek), this is exactly what happened when the X-Men fell through a dimensional rift in the 1996 one-off Star Trek/X-Men. The story doesn’t really have a resolution of any kind, but at least the Guardians of the Galaxy randomly show up in the last panel! (You can read the whole thing here, it’s crazy short.) 3.

The bizarre, high-concept crossover was met with surprising acclaim, and was published by both Archie Comics and Marvel Comics (under the titles Archie Meets The Punisher and The Punisher Meets Archie respectively). He then teams up with Archie to save Veronica Lodge from a kidnapping baddie. In a special 1994 crossover event, The Punisher hunts down Archie Andrews, mistakenly thinking he’s a criminal in need of some punishing. In our inaugural episode of The Doombots Podcast, we talk about a few stranger crossovers - so now we’re looking back at (nearly) all of Marvel’s best, worst and weirdest universe-blending crossover events of all time. Very rarely, they end up being all of those things. Sometimes they are pulse-pounding epic sagas, and sometimes they are brazen cash grabs and shameless attempts at cross-promotion that embarrass everyone involved. Comic book crossovers have long been massive, wildly hyped events that bring two universes together for an epic story featuring otherwise-impossible team-ups and collaborations.
