| 19 | ->''"Sergio, fans love crossovers! And they're easy to do! If you can't think of something for the characters in your comic to do, well then, just have them meet characters in some other comic that doesn't have an idea this month, either!"'' |
| 20 | -->-- '''Creator/MarkEvanier''' (to Creator/SergioAragones), ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer versus Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian #1 (July 2014)'' |
| 21 | |
| 22 | {{Crossover}}s in comic books. |
| 23 | ---- |
| 24 | * The ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD Sci-Fi Special 2020'', celebrating 20 years since the comic was bought by Rebellion, had several stories in which a Rebellion-era character met a classic character (note that LongRunner ComicBook/JudgeDredd is in the latter category): |
| 25 | ** Dredd is assigned to Interdimensional Immigration, where he has to deal with ComicBook/{{Zombo}}. |
| 26 | ** Shako awakens in the setting of "Kingdom", where he fights Them alongside Gene the Hackman. |
| 27 | ** A dimensional storm brings Blackhawk to Brit-Cit, where he meets Judge Storm from "Storm Warning". |
| 28 | ** Captain Dancer from "The Red Seas" describes the time his crew encountered the giant ants from "Ant Wars". |
| 29 | * ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}} was going to be a ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'' character who crossed over to the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in ''ComicBook/AgeOfUltron'', but ''ComicBook/OriginalSin'' reveals she is Thor's [[LongLostRelative long lost sister]], retconning her to be part of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse from the beginning, seemingly ignoring any history tied to the world of ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}''. |
| 30 | * ''ComicBook/BatmanVsBigbyAWolfInGotham'': This comic has Bigby Wolf from ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' come to [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Gotham City]] to locate a magical book that's found its way there. Batman villain "The Bookworm" decides to try and get his hands on the book, and pits Bigby against Batman two keep the two off his back. |
| 31 | * The ''Deathmate'' crossover had Creator/ValiantComics [=VH1=] era characters crossing over with characters from the Creator/ImageComics imprints Extreme Studios and Creator/{{Wildstorm}}. |
| 32 | * Phil Foglio's graphic novel adaptation of Creator/RobertAsprin's ''Another Fine Myth'' features a Law Machine from his own ''Buck Godot: Zap Gun For Hire'' universe: |
| 33 | -->'''Aahz:''' That was our introduction to... the Law Machine. We were all dimensional travelers... I haven't seen a Law Machine before or since. |
| 34 | * Creator/ArchieComics is not afraid of this. The only real thing that defines the universes (excluding ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' and other licensed series) is different towns in America. The Archies performing alongside ''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussycats''? Sure! |
| 35 | ** Sabrina, however, did cross over with ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', in a two part-special that expanded both series. |
| 36 | ** ''ComicBook/ArchieMeetsThePunisher''. Yes, ''really''. |
| 37 | *** In fairness, the early 1990s Frank Castle was essentially a well-equipped assassin, not an amoral wholesale slaughtering machine leaving dozens of bloody corpses everywhere. And he not only engages in less violence here than in his usual missions of the time, but he even lets his target live. Still, the fact that everyone involved managed to pull it off at all, much less make a pretty good story, is downright amazing. |
| 38 | ** [[http://www.newsarama.com/comics/archie-tiny-titans-aw-yeah-10719.html Tiny Titans meet Little Archie]]. Yes, ''really''. |
| 39 | ** There was also a crossover of Archie and the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles. Here is a [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/at4w/21529-tmnt-meets-archie review]] of it, courtesy of [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]. |
| 40 | ** The "Night at the Comic Book Shop" trade paperback had Archie deal with some old comic characters that Archie Comics punished. |
| 41 | ** Archie Comics did [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsCollide a crossover]] between ''ComicBook/{{Mega Man|ArchieComics}}'' and ''ComicBook/{{Sonic the Hedgehog|ArchieComics}}'' from April to August 2013. |
| 42 | *** This proved so popular that they did [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogMegaManWorldsUnite another crossover]] between the two - as well as several other Creator/{{Sega}} and Creator/{{Capcom}} franchises - in 2015. |
| 43 | * Ash from ''Franchise/EvilDead'' and ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' has crossed over with ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'', ''Film/{{Darkman}}'', ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'', ''ComicBook/HackSlash'', ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'', ''Film/ReAnimator'', ''ComicBook/RedSonja'', ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'', ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'', and ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess''. |
| 44 | * In fact, the sequel to ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'', was in comic form due to plans falling through to make it into a movie. That itself got a sequel which included the ''Dream Warriors'' from the third Nightmare on Elm Street film (and a rather mean-spirited TakeThat to ''Freddy's Dead''). |
| 45 | * IDW Comics has taken advantage of their licenses and has published "[[ComicBook/StarTrekTheNextGenerationDoctorWhoAssimilation2 Assimilation Squared]]", a crossover between ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' and ''Series/DoctorWho'', with the Borg and Cybermen as the villains. They even go back in time and have a crossover between the Fourth Doctor and ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. And there was a planned crossover with ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. |
| 46 | * ''Recap/AsterixInBelgium'' features a cameo appearance by [[ComicBook/{{Tintin}} Dupont and Dupond]] (or Thompson and Thomson if you prefer, although they're unnamed here anyway). |
| 47 | * After the ''Film/HowardTheDuck'' movie, Marvel still kept making comics of the character. Later, Marvel asked the creator to make a crossover between Howard/Spider-Man while at the same time he was doing a ComicBook/DestroyerDuck/Savage Dragon with Image comics. To sum it up at the end a clone of Howard left with Spider-Man and the real escaped into the safe hands of Steve Gerber. |
| 48 | * During the 1990s, there were two crossovers between ComicBook/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/ThePunisher. The first took place during the ''Knightquest'' section of ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'' and thus featured ComicBook/{{Azrael}} as Batman; at the start of ''[=KnightsEnd=]'', Jean-Paul even namedrops Frank's archenemy Jigsaw as one of the villains he fought. The second is a sequel and takes place after Bruce returned as Batman and even sees Frank question Batman's sanity as a result of the costume change and "change" in fighting style. |
| 49 | * In the 1990s, DC and Image published a crossover between ComicBook/{{Batman}} and ComicBook/{{Spawn}}. It's best remembered for completely rejecting the usual "[[LetsYouAndHimFight meet, fight, become friends]]" routine found in most crossover comics. The two heroes hate each other for almost the entire story. At the end, Spawn wonders aloud whether they could try to be friends, and Batman responds by ''burying a batarang in Spawn's face.'' A second story featured another team-up that went better. |
| 50 | * There were a couple of stories in which Batman teamed up with ComicBook/SpiderMan. |
| 51 | * ''ComicBook/BatmanAndCaptainAmerica'' |
| 52 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' and ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIDW'' crossed over in ''ComicBook/BatmanTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''. |
| 53 | * Several years before ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' had an animated crossover titled "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsSeason26E6Simpsorama Simpsorama]]", Creator/BongoComics produced two miniseries latter collected in a hardcover edition titled ''ComicBook/TheSimpsonsFuturamaCrossoverCrisis''. The first miniseries is about the Planet Express crew being sent into an issue of ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'' by the Brain Spawn. The second miniseries is about the residents of Springfield being pulled into New New York by one of Professor Farnsworth's inventions. And ''then'' it gets weird... |
| 54 | * ''Creator/CartoonNetwork'' has several crossovers in comic book form: |
| 55 | ** They once made a comics story in which WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost's monkey sidekick, Blip, needed to save his friends from [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Giant Cosmic Monkey Robot]] and asked WesternAnimation/MagillaGorilla, Monkey from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' and other simians from CN's shows for help. Together they saved the hero and defeated the cosmic monkey with a giant banana, soooo...yeah. |
| 56 | ** At one point, they also did a string of SliceOfLife segments during commercial breaks where ''all'' of the characters were shown coexisting in some sort of vaguely defined urban setting. |
| 57 | ** A special magazine published in 2000 by Cartoon Network featured a five-page comic story in which WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo meets WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998. Bubbles, as expected, [[TheGlomp glomps]] Scooby ("Puppy!!"). |
| 58 | ** A tie in manga for ''VideoGame/FusionFall'' featured the prologue of several popular CN shows banding together as the alien invasion begins. |
| 59 | ** ''ComicBook/CartoonNetworkSuperSecretCrisisWar'': Parody of CrisisCrossover featuring the heroes of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'', ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' (yes, really) going against the evil forces of the former five series. There were likewise one shot tie ins that showcased other shows dealing with some of said forces' mooks trying to raid their universes. |
| 60 | ** ''[[ComicBook/ThePowerpuffGirls The Powerpuff Girls: Super Smash Up]]'' has the girls first meeting Dexter of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' while on a trip with the Professor. When Dee Dee flubs up an experiment as usual, this ends up sending the three into a trip through the multi-verse of other popular CN shows. |
| 61 | ** ''ComicBook/AdventureTimeXRegularShow'': Just as it says, between two of Cartoon Network's more popular shows during TheNewTens. Naturally, with both series being inherently weird, you can imagine how crazy it gets when both universes meet. |
| 62 | * ''ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}'' crossed over with WesternAnimation/SylvesterTheCatAndTweetyBird. It was a one-shot where the first story was in the style of DC comics while the second story was in the style of the Warner Bros. cartoon. |
| 63 | * ''ComicBook/TheChildrensCrusadeVertigo'' was a 1993 crossover event spearheaded by Creator/NeilGaiman and Alisa Kwitney that brought together five of Creator/{{Vertigo|Comics}}'s superhero books - ''ComicBook/BlackOrchid'', ''ComicBook/AnimalMan'', ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', ''ComicBook/SwampThing'', and ''ComicBook/TheBooksOfMagic'', with the annuals for each series holding a different part of the crossover (except for ''Books of Magic'', as the original miniseries had ended and the eventual ongoing had not yet begun). |
| 64 | * ''ComicBook/{{Cyberforce}}'' has crossed over with ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm, [[ComicBook/TheSavageDragon Freak Force]], New Men, and others. |
| 65 | * ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'' crossed over with ComicBook/{{Batman}}. In his own series, Jackie still remembers this happening, with no explanation of how Batman exists in that universe. |
| 66 | * ''Devil's Reign'' was a crossover between Creator/MarvelComics and [[Creator/ImageComics Top Cow]] characters including ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}, Weapon Zero, Cyblade, Ballistic and ComicBook/{{Cyberforce}}. |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'': |
| 68 | ** The original Arnold Drake run had a crossover with ''ComicBook/ChallengersOfTheUnknown'' (occurring in issue 48 of ''Challengers'' and issue 102 of ''Doom Patrol'') and a team-up with the Barry Allen Flash in issue 65 of ''ComicBook/TheBraveAndTheBold''. |
| 69 | ** The Paul Kupperberg era had several crossovers with ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'', including a team-up where Robotman accidentally obtained spare parts from the Man of Steel's enemy Metallo, the team uniting with Power Girl to fight the Lord of Chaos Pythia and the Annual having Lex Luthor try to get the team to become his pawns. |
| 70 | ** The 14th issue of Creator/JohnByrne's run had Robotman shift through alternate timelines after attempting to prevent the accident that resulted in his brain being put in a robotic body. One of these timelines happens to be ''ComicBook/SupermanAndBatmanGenerations'', where Cliff finds himself a member of this continuity's Doom Patrol and they assist Kid Flash, Supergirl, Dick Grayson as Batman and Bruce Wayne, Jr. as Robin in fighting the Brain and Monsieur Mallah (the scene in question notably being the only appearance the Brain and Mallah made in Byrne's run). |
| 71 | ** Keith Giffen's run had a crossover with Gail Simone's ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' near the end, the first part occurring in the 30th issue of ''Secret Six'' and the second part occurring in the 19th issue of ''Doom Patrol''. |
| 72 | * Played strictly for laughs, 1982's ''The ComicBook/FantasticFour Roast'' crams practically everyone in the Marvel universe for the titular testimonial. It even has the audacity to re-write the reason for Dr. Doom's vendetta on Reed Richards. |
| 73 | * ''Franchise/GIJoe'' and ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''. While the TV show is limited to the "Old Snake" thing and the hologram of Marissa's dad (see Western Animation below), the comics have crossed over many, many times, even to the point of very important and far-reaching events in one starting in crossovers [[spoiler: such as Cobra being the source of Megatron's tank body, and Bumblebee getting blown up real good and later repaired as his new Goldbug form - though if you're from the UK, you got a different Goldbug origin.]] |
| 74 | * ''[[ComicBook/GhostDarkHorseComics Ghost]]'' has crossed over with other Dark Horse Heroes, and has crossed over with ''ComicBook/TheShadow'', ''[[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]]'', ''ComicBook/{{Hellboy}}'', and ''ComicBook/TheMask''. |
| 75 | * ''ComicBook/{{Glory}}'' has crossed over with Avengelyne. |
| 76 | * ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' has characters cross over to and from Ben Dunn's ''ComicBook/NinjaHighSchool'' frequently, even resulting in several {{Crisis Crossover}}s. |
| 77 | * ''Green Lantern/Silver Surfer: Unholy Alliances'' crosses over ComicBook/GreenLantern and ComicBook/SilverSurfer versus Parallax, Thanos, and Cyborg Superman, who gets turned into [[AndIMustScream a slab of metal]] and presumably [[DeathIsCheap gets better]] when returning to Franchise/TheDCU, but only if this crossover counts in continuity. Otherwise, Cyborg Superman is still a slab of metal. |
| 78 | * In 2014, Creator/DarkHorseComics published ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer versus ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian as a 4-issue series. |
| 79 | * ''ComicBook/InjusticeVsMastersOfTheUniverse'', a crossover between ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' and ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse''. |
| 80 | * ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' crossed over with ComicBook/SpiderMan in ''ComicBook/MarvelTeamUp'' #14 (vol. 3). |
| 81 | * Various Creator/ImageComics titles (''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'', ''ComicBook/SavageDragon'', ''ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'', etc.) occasionally cross over, but the editorial policy is that what happens in one title doesn't have to affect events in another. Each hero lives in his or her own unique universe that may or may not contain versions of the other heroes. For instance, Invincible's universe has a Savage Dragon and a Witchblade who are more or less the same as their counterparts in their own books and have roughly the same adventures, but what happens in Invincible's book stays there. |
| 82 | * That is the main premise of the IDW comic ''Infestation: Outbreak'', where a dimensional gate (which looks suspiciously like a Franchise/{{Stargate|Verse}}) unleashes hordes of zombies from another world. [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Unlike other zombies]] from this world, these are guided by a single will, the Undermind. They are also somehow capable of infecting technology and other undead creatures. When an elite vampire squad is sent to deal with the situation, one of them, Britt, gets bitten and becomes a vampire/zombie hybrid. Britt uses [[{{Magitek}} artillica]] to open four more dimensional portals, through which the zombies and infected machines pour, along with parts of Britt herself. While the other vampires manage to shut down the portals, the threat has already spread to other worlds. These worlds are those of ''ComicBook/GIJoeIDW'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', and ''ComicBook/{{Ghostbusters}}''. All these worlds now have to fight an infestation from a virulence they have not seen, infecting both man and machine. |
| 83 | ** ''Infestation 2'' had the Elder Gods invade the IDW ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'', ''G.I. Joe'', ''Dungeons and Dragons'', ''Bat Boy'', ''30 Days of Night'', and the ''Transformers: Hearts of Steel'' universes by creating a rift through universes through H.P. Lovecraft's writings. |
| 84 | ** A January 2014 IDW comic also had The Ghostbusters being investigated by The Lone Gunmen from ''Series/TheXFiles''. |
| 85 | * José Carioca's universe is set in his home country of Brazil, but he's shown to be friends with WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck in ''WesternAnimation/SaludosAmigos'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros'' (as well as the ride in the Mexican pavilion at Epcot). Thus, there are occasional crossovers between the Carioca universe and the [=McDuck=] Universe. Indeed, there has been a prolonged arc of stories where José visits Duckburg, and interacts with the various characters there. |
| 86 | * ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' has crossed paths with ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Batman}} in separate issues. |
| 87 | * ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' has had crossovers with ''ComicBook/StrontiumDog'', ''ComicBook/RogueTrooper'', Batman, Film/{{Alien}}s, and Franchise/{{Predator}} among others. It even crossed over with its {{Spin Off}}s on two occasions. |
| 88 | * Every so often, the ComicBook/{{Justice League|Of America}} and ComicBook/{{Justice Society|Of America}} team up and have a crossover. In MediaNotes/{{the Bronze Age|Of Comic Books}}, it happened every year; nowadays, it's more like every three years or so. |
| 89 | * ''ComicBook/DeKiekeboes'' and ''ComicBook/{{Urbanus}}'' had a crossover in the album ''Kiekebanus'' where they both swap houses. The album was made in collaboration with the artists themselves who each drew their characters in their art style, creating a bizarre contrast between the more realistic style of ''De Kiekeboes'' and the more cartoony style of ''Urbanus''. |
| 90 | * This was the entire premise of ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' -- graphic novels and [[Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen movie]] both. |
| 91 | * ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' and ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' crossed over in ''ComicBook/JasonVsLeatherface''. |
| 92 | * ComicStrip/ThePhantom and ComicStrip/{{Mandrake the Magician}} have teamed up on a few occasions, and both were guests at each other's weddings. |
| 93 | * ''ComicBook/MightyJack'', by Ben Hatke, crosses over with his far more well known ''ComicBook/ZitaTheSpacegirl'' in its third volume. |
| 94 | * Brazilian comic book ''Monica Teen'' (a SpinOff of ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'') has already had official crossovers with Creator/OsamuTezuka's most popular heroes ([[Manga/PrincessKnight Princess Safiri]], [[Manga/AstroBoy Astro]] and [[Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion Kimba]]) and with the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica. |
| 95 | * In ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon'', its author will often introduce other characters created by him. Most hilariously there's a strip in which they met ''ComicBook/ZipiYZape'' [[spoiler: which ends [[BreakingTheFourthWall with Zipi y Zape's creator]] and the ''Súper'' looking for Mortadelo y Filemón with a machine gun after they threw Zipi y Zape from the rooftop of a skscraper sick of their pranks]] |
| 96 | * ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyTransformersFriendshipInDisguise'': Yes seriously, [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 G1 Transformers]] crossed over with the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic G4 My Little Pony series]]. |
| 97 | * ''ComicBook/NinjaHighSchool'' and ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' crossed over. |
| 98 | * [[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes Ape]] [[Series/AlienNation Nation]]. ''[[https://www.superdickery.com/ape-nation-the-strangest-combination-of-franchises-you-ever-saw/ Ape Nation]]''. |
| 99 | * ''ComicBook/ThePitifulHumanLizard'' and ''Captain Canuck'', only they never cross paths, and the Human-Lizard doesn't even bother suiting up or trying to get his attention. |
| 100 | * ''Anime/{{Robotech}}'' and ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' cross over in ''Robotech/Voltron''. |
| 101 | * ''DarthWiki/SluggerSlackers'': The first ''major'' KGC Universe crossover between ''Webcomic/TheDynamiteTwinsAndFriends'' and ''The Show Goes On''. There have been a few attempts before. |
| 102 | * Marvel's ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'' limited series (already itself a psuedo-CrossOver, featuring a team of {{Captain Ersatz}}es from Creator/DCComics) also had a one-issue CrossOver with ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica''. |
| 103 | * ComicBOok/SpiderMan vs. [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Powdered Toast Man]] [[http://spiderfan.org/comics/images/ren_stimpy/006.jpg here]]. |
| 104 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderManAndBatmanDisorderedMinds''. |
| 105 | * [=IDW=]'s ''ComicBook/StarTrekVsTransformers'' is a crossover comic miniseries. Which sees the ''[[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Generation One]]'' Autobots and Decepticons interact with characters from the 1970's ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries Star Trek: TAS]]''. |
| 106 | * Socko Strong, an obscure Golden Age DC Comics character, has a very early example of a crossover. In Adventure Comics #45 (cover dated December 1939) the character Biff Bronson, who had his own feature in More Fun Comics, plays a small but important role in that issue's Socko Strong story. Both characters were created by Joseph Sulman, so it could have served as some self-promotion or as a nod to readers of both titles. |
| 107 | * ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Batman}} have been appearing in comics together since MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks, and ComicBook/WonderWoman joining in isn't rare, either. Generally they team up, though having them fight each other is always a good way to draw in readers. In ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanPublicEnemies'': |
| 108 | -->'''Superman''': "We're surrounded, you know. I can hear them all."\ |
| 109 | '''Batman''': "I think we can take them. Do you think we can take them?"\ |
| 110 | '''Superman''': "You ''always'' think we can take them."\ |
| 111 | '''Batman''': "Yes, I do."\ |
| 112 | '''Superman''': "Then, let's do it." |
| 113 | ** If that counts, we may as well mention ''All Star Comics #3'', the comic which ''created'' Franchise/TheDCU as a shared universe. |
| 114 | * ''ComicBook/TheTerrifics'', a DC property, features the team interacting with ComicBook/TomStrong and his stable of characters originally part of Creator/Wildstorm's Creator/AmericasBestComics imprint, which is now owned by DC but had not been folded into the DCU until this book. |
| 115 | * The ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'' comic ''[[Recap/TintinTheSevenCrystalBalls The Seven Crystal Balls]]'' featured an appearance by Jo (it's brief, but he does introduce a plot point), from Creator/{{Herge}}'s other comic series ''ComicBook/JoZetteAndJocko''. |
| 116 | * ''ComicBook/TurmaDaMonicaEGarfieldOLapisMagico'' a crossover between the universes of ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' and ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}''. |
| 117 | * The Ferret from ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse'' made a cameo in a fight with E. Honda in ''ComicBook/StreetFighterMalibuComics''. |
| 118 | * ''ComicBook/TransformersBackToTheFuture'', a crossover event between the Autobots and the time traveling heroes of Hill Valley. |
| 119 | * ''ComicBook/UsagiYojimbo'' and ''ComicBook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}'' had several single-issue gag crossovers in their respective early runs, which culminated, several years later, in a volume of ''Usagi'' which centered on a village shaman summoning the Turtles to fight invading ninjas, and the Turtles' subsequent confusion at being landed in a medieval Japan inhabited by talking animals. |
| 120 | * ''ComicBook/MagnusRobotFighter'', in addition to crossing over with other Creator/ValiantComics heroes, crossed over with ''ComicBook/{{Nexus}}'' by Mike Baron and Steve Rude, and with Creator/{{Dark Horse|Comics}}'s ''Franchise/{{Predator}}'' comics. |
| 121 | * The various Marvel–DC crossovers that have been published over the years, which imply the existence of a third timeline separate from the Marvel and DC continuities in which both exist alongside each other. |
| 122 | ** There was also the ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse, itself spun off from ''ComicBook/MarvelVersusDC'', which consists of heroes who merge traits of a hero from each universe. Examples are ComicBook/{{Iron|Man}} [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Lantern]] (take a guess) and Darkclaw, who was Batman and Wolverine (!!!). However, the events of ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'' are taken as canon for both publishers in their mainstream universes. |
| 123 | * Creator/MarvelComics characters started showing up in ''ComicBook/TheUltraverse'', including the Black Knight in ''ComicBook/UltraForce'', and a crossover with Rune and ''Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian'', set in the Hyborian Age, bringing up the question of how such a history fits into either continuity. The Ultraverse was also revealed to have a seventh Infinity Gem. |
| 124 | * ''ComicBook/TheMask'' crossed over with ComicBook/TheJoker. |
| 125 | * The Creator/MilestoneComics Dakotaverse crossed over with Creator/DCComics in ''ComicBook/WorldsCollide1994'', and became part of Franchise/TheDCU after ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis''. |
| 126 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': |
| 127 | ** ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo'' crossed over with ''[[Series/{{Beetleborgs}} Beetleborgs Metallix]]'' in ''[[ComicBook/PowerRangersTurboVsBeetleborgsMetallix Power Rangers Turbo vs. Beetleborgs Metallix]]''. |
| 128 | ** The Power Rangers later met the Ninja Turtles in ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''. |
| 129 | * ''ComicBook/RWBYJusticeLeague'' sees the cast of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' meet a Remnant-based version of the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica. |
| 130 | * The very first superhero crossover was a battle between the Human Torch and the ComicBook/SubMariner in ''Marvel Mystery Comics'' #8 and #9 (1940). This is the beginning of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. |
| 131 | ** Actually, the Shield and the Wizard at MLJ met earlier. The Wizard had learned of an impending attack on Pearl Harbor and contacted the Shield. They spent the next few issues fighting the same enemies (the Soviet/Nazi proxies called Moskovians), occasionally crossing paths for a panel or three. |
| 132 | * ''ComicBook/WarriorNunAreala'' crossed over with ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' (also owned by Antarctic Press), with ''ComicBook/{{Glory}}'' and ''Avengelyne'' (both properties of Creator/ImageComics), and [[http://comicvine.gamespot.com/razor/4005-46494/ Razor]] (created by Everette Hartsoe of London Night Studios). The characters of Warrior Nun Areala were also featured in the 2012 "[[http://comicvine.gamespot.com/war-of-the-independents/4050-45034/ War of the Independents]]" mini-series event by Red Anvil Comics. |
| 133 | * In the German comic ''ComicBook/{{Werner}}'': Dex & Dogfort appear in ''Volle Latte!'', drawn by Jörg Reymann himself. In retour, Werner appears in the third Dex & Dogfort book, ''Schlachthofgiganten''. |
| 134 | ** In the story about Creator/WilhelmBusch's 150th birthday at the end of ''Alles klar?'', Werner and Wilhelm Bush let loose his characters from ''Literature/MaxAndMoritz'' because they find the celebration boring. %% This entry was added automatically by FELH2. In case the wording doesn't make sense, rewrite it as you like, remove this comment and tell this troper. |
| 135 | * Marvel's ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' series threw in a few of these over the years, notably stories in which ComicBook/ConanTheBarbarian fought ComicBook/CaptainAmerica (narrow win for Conan) and ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} (Conan wins the first round, Wolverine regenerates and pushes Conan through a portal to the future, where he destroys the universe [[RocksFallEveryoneDies by throwing a rock at Cyclops' head]]). |
| 136 | ** Another notable Marvel crossover, this one in-continuity, featured perhaps the two greatest SwordAndSorcery heroes (using the term loosely) of all time; Conan and ''[[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric]]''. As if that weren't epic enough, Elric's creator, Creator/MichaelMoorcock, helped with the plot.
