Oh man, a Captain Marvel vs. Dr. Doom battle would be awesome. And hilarious. "Holey Moley, does this guy ever stop monologuing? And I thought Sivana was long-winded..."

[captainbellman]

I feel like these pages were basically just a compilation of "Oh the team ups and battles we could give you, if we only had more time and space..."

Also: poor Man-Bat. Look at his confused fuzzy face. "I'm only equipped to handle Bat-Men! This is a new situation and I need a grownup!"

[crinos]

Anyone feel like maybe Steel and Kyle got the wrong villains?

Steel: Um, hey Kyle? Can we switch bad guys? This not ready for prime time Parasite is kicking my ass.

Kyle: Yeah lets do that. This guy is freaking me out. He's like if Joker and Batman had an even crazier baby.

Steel: GAH KYLE MAN! You gotta pick your metaphors better dude, I will never get that image out of my head.

[captainbellman]

Odder, going by costume this should be the Phil Urich version of the Goblin, and thus they should be working together.

[informationgeek]

Poor She-Hulk. She lost her spine judging from that artwork.

also, something wrong is happening with Martian Manhunter's chest.

[captainbellman]

Not at all! He's shapeshifting it into a more bracing exoskeleton in order to match the Thing's defences.

[lieut_kettch]

Then again, why doesn't he just mind-whammy Ben and Johnny?

[lyricalswagger]

That cover with the Hulk and Superman in a sassy pose with their hands on their hips is just baaaad.

[lieut_kettch]

Ah, the 90s. When even Frank Castle sported a mullet.

[rainspirit]

Robin and Jubilee hanging out together in this was one of my favourite things.

If Marvel vs. DC had just been the heroes dealing with the universe merging and having a lot of team-ups, instead of the silly Almagam Universe, I would've loved it a whole lot more.

Basically, I wish Marvel vs. DC would've been JLA/Avengers, but bigger.

[glprime]

Whhaaa? Oh no no no, have you missed cruising through all my Amalgam posts? The crackalicious one-shots that resulted were part of the fun!

[beyondthefringe]

If this crossover happened today, all of DC and Marvel would suspend their comics for a month just to produce the crossover stories pictured above.
We'd have had an entire month of
Superman vs Annihilus
Punisher vs Deathstroke
Captain Marvel vs Doctor Doom
and so on.

And then we'd have gotten the Amalgam titles as well.
Yes, they would have milked that event for all it was worth.

[jcgamer78]

Heh... I was just thinking how weird it is that I find the one panel team-ups that are shown to be way more interesting to me than much of the stuff the big two are producing these days.

Yer right about how these kinda events work now, but hey I guess they sell or the wouldn't be happening.

I wonder how social media would affect the hero vs hero voting...

[ozaline]

Oh man that would have been great.

I really wish we'd get a third age of Amalgam

[lordultimus]

Well, we can settle for this guy's stuff: http://red-rum-18.deviantart.com/gallery/10467425/New-Amalgam

If this crossover happened today, Satan would start releasing souls due to his workplace getting frozen over, pigs would escape butchers by flying away, and politicians would actually govern.

[misanthr0pe]

Who is that with who I'm assuming is Dr. Strange?

[sagrada]

That's Jack Knight, the Starman of Opal City, created for a brief scene in Zero Hour and later expanded on by James Robinson and Tony Harris in a run from the mid 90's to the early 2000's. He later left the business (and the staff he's carrying there) to Stargirl.

[misanthr0pe]

Thanks, I didn't notice the staff and that is quite a costume change to Stargirl.

[sagrada]

Jack's whole deal was vaguely punkish unconventionality. The jacket and goggles are purely practical, to keep him warm while flying and protect his eyes, and the silver star is a tin sheriff's badge from some box of crackerjacks. Interestingly enough, though the Cosmic Rod he uses is a creation of his father, the first Starman's science, his own interests are stuff from the past and anything weird or occult. He's actually not as far off from his comfort zone as you'd expect a wisecracking skeptic with a technological weapon to be.

[randyripoff]

Hmm....

The Green Goblin shouldn't last more than two seconds against a Green Lantern unless Garth Ennis is doing the writing.

I'd also love to see Supergirl and She-Hulk team up regularly.

While I'm at it, how the hell does Jameson assume control over the Planet? Aren't those terribly competent journalists able to put a paper together without Perry White standing over them?

[terrykun]

By and large, I agree with you, but Phil's lunatic laugh may have been an asset. Enough noise would keep Kyle, who has always been a bit more imagination than will, from being able to focus.

[glprime]

Thought that Jameson was flipping off Kent there for a second... and I was okay with that :)

"Dammit, Kent! I'll take flaky absenteeism from some young punk photographer with a sick aunt at home, but you're a grown-ass man, dammit! Put in the hours or kiss your byline goodbye!"

"But, Chief, there was a disaster-"

"Don't you call me, Chief! I'll stick this cigar right through those horn-rims of y-... HOLY SHIT! YOU'RE SUPERMAN!!!"

[donnblake]

I suddenly want a universe where J Jonah Jameson is fanatically devoted to bringing attention to the public menace that is Clark Kent. Not Superman, but Clark.

"And I'll bet that his vision is fine! So why is he always wearing those glasses? What is he hiding?"
