I'm Excited For The 2025 Marvel/DC Crossover
Marvel & DC Are Crossing Over Again
Marvel and DC have announced that they are going to do two crossover one-shots this year. One will be titled “Marvel/DC“ and published by Marvel. The other will be titled “DC/Marvel“ and be published by DC.
I Am A Big Fan Of Marvel & DC Crossovers
I am very excited to hear this news. I have every Amalgam comic from the 90’s, Marvel/DC crossover (the one where all of the Marvel and DC characters fused with one another). I have a collection of Amalgam trading cards. I own the “DC vs Marvel Omnibus“ that recently came out.
I made fifth place in a game jam with a game I developed based on an Amalgam comic. I’ve always liked the idea of Marvel and DC sharing a universe, or regularly meeting up with one another. I’m also a big fan of seeing mash-ups of Marvel and DC characters (which is why I like Amalgam so much).
What I Hope To See Come Out Of The Crossovers
I would love to see the Marvel Ultimate Universe and the DC Absolute Universe crossover, as both are fairly modern alternate universe takes that currently exist parallel to one another. While crossing over these two universes would definitely be seen as dated twenty years from now, I think it would be an interesting time capsule of a book that captures the spirit of modern comics.
I would love to see new amalgamations of characters, especially of newer characters that weren’t around during the Amalgam Comics era.
In “Dark Crisis: Big Bang“ (which came out just a few years ago), it was established that the Amalgam Universe exists on Earth-1996 in the DC Multiverse. I believe that single issue is the only modern reference from Marvel or DC to the Amalgam Universe. I hope that the crossover involves heroes from the Marvel Universe and the DC universe visiting Earth-1996, and going on an adventure where their amalgamated counterparts to save the multiverse from a threat too big for any of them to face alone.
I would love new Marvel/DC crossover merchandise like clothing, action figures (especially of Amalgam Characters), and more. I would definitely buy Amalgam action figures if they were available for purchase (clearly I have a strong Amalgam bias).
We need to see Access appear. Access is a character co-owned by Marvel and DC, who has the ability to travel between their respective realities. We haven’t seen Access in a while, as far as I’m aware. I would love for the audience to catch up with what he’s been up to. The crossover could even establish that Access has been a key player behind the scenes during many Marvel and DC events over the years, which would help to further cement the idea of their respective universes being deeply interconnected. It would be especially cool if Access was either the main character of the crossover, or the antagonist of the crossover that everyone is facing off against. Imagine how much of a threat Access could be as a villain, with the ability to travel freely between the two universes and collect some of their most powerful items.
Since there will be two one-shots, I wouldn’t mind one being focused on more modern versions of the characters crossing over and the other being focused on timeless interpretations of the characters crossing over. Doing this would appeal to both classic and modern fans.
