Crossover Comic Book Madness

Crossover!

There is an interesting word in English to a fan comic?

Or one that with so much fear and fills a lot of bad memories?

In honor DC's Identity Crisis - (a self-contained mini-series, which has implications in a number of other books such as Teen Titans and Outsiders will), the Batman family impending "War Games" (an event where for three months and not less than eight bat-books related to a crossover numbers (only the excellentBirds of Prey, because they escape) that are not under the editorial control of the Bat-office, nor Marvel Avengers crossover (to dismantle the now running in October in a series of books by Marvel - though perhaps not a crossover, si) is a series of thematically linked stories, I decided the week to come, the column in order to devote some of the "big" crossover last year.

It seems not long ago that brought each year at least one big crossover from each oftwo large companies - and even some photos of children from when I used to play more in the sandbox superhero (does anyone remember the sinking of the train, and the Extreme Extreme Prejudice victims were there?) - and these can be traced to the creme de la crème pursues all, Marvel's Secret Wars.

Contest of Champions ComicsIn Marvel 1982 Marvel released its first mini-series Contest of Champions.

For the first time most of the heroes of society were together in one place.

Itwas not very good.

Not long after, DC was a successful line of toy with the Super Friends, thought some bright spark at Marvel, it would be a good idea to mix the two concepts of ...

Comics1984 Secret Wars Marvel Secret Wars!
Grade: B-(for the absolute originality!)

Originally designed to sell a toy (which was not particularly successful), Secret Wars is a self-contained mini-scene with twelve o'clock a number of heroes and villains from Earth by a cosmic entity, the pluckedBeyonder and put the struggle for survival in a world of patchwork, he did. Demonstrated Written by Jim Shooter and Al Milgrom, the plot is fairly simple, and to be honest, it would be half the amount of questions he said that was ... one of the first examples of incentive to trade?

Race of Champions, Marvel series ComicsThe contain the clumsy dialogue and exposure (in particular, are painful scenes in the first issue, in which the heroes and villains to introducehimself - "I, Crusher Creel, gave an absorbent Wuz watching the show out!"), heavy plot (Colossus in love) are in a strange healer and some even ridiculous plot developments (like the Hulk lift an entire mountain heroes), but was especially fun.

The Mini began in the same month as the heroes of their songs regularly disappeared, but while all returning from the wars of the next issue, it took a whole year to learn the various changes wereOccurred - and there were chage. The Secret Wars has all kinds of consequences for a number of heroes - the most leftist of the Fantastic Four in Secret Wars planet in its own set to keep his place in the team's She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, a hit Again, Julia Zimmermann, was introduced after a brief career in the power of freedom, before becoming the West Coast Avengers and Force Works for several years, and, of course, Spider-Man has acquired a new alien costume, which eventuallywent to one of his greatest enemy - Venom. But perhaps the lasting impact of all is the concept of crossover was to ...

Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Comics1985: Crisis on Infinite Earths!
Grade: A (for a lasting effect!)

DC response to Secret Wars was a year crossover for themselves. DC yearning for home, Crisis on Infinite Earths clean NATO has exceeded its rival series in every way. The monitor meets for the fight against the heroes of the earth morethe collapse of the universe in the series by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, but he was not quite dead - some worlds and characters, while others have been merged into a brand new DC Universe, the characters that DC had acquired recently by Charlton (as blue beetle, Captain Atom, and the question) was part of its DCU, as well as the Family Marvel (Captain Marvel, Black Adam, etc.), despite the good captain was not the debut in the new continuity until next year.

CrisisInfinite Earths DC ComicsDC also killed two of its lower selling (but still popular) iconic heroes - Flash and Supergirl - and although both have since been replaced, his death still resonates today, Barry Allen is special.

Twelve mini-edition has been mapped in a series of titles for several months, as the monitor acted as a mysterious arms dealer organizations. Since this has been explained away (and convincing) as evidence the hero, you canonly assume that not all writers and editors at DC in the history of the series.

Crisis on Infinite Earths DC ComicsThe series has had an impact on the crossover format, since it involve a number of overlaps in individual securities, many of which just introduced a red sky and has little influence on the story as a whole.

After the crisis, DC experienced a kind of soft reset, the origin retooling characters "as in" The Man of Steel, Batman: Year One and WonderWoman. There is no doubt that the standard setter, has a crossover, before or after is long term or large-scale implications.

Secret Wars II, Marvel Comics1985: Secret Wars II!
Grade: C (for the jerry curl and white suit!)

Marvel, but he would not stay behind, of course. Not long after the conclusion of the first Secret Wars, and during the crisis was still ongoing at their Distinguished Competition, has launched an extension of their mini-series, nine-issue Secret Wars IIborn.

In the series of Beyonder came to Earth and took human form (actually a duplicate of the body of Captain America, but oh-so get a can curl of the eighties), for humanity. Of course, with a fatality that was limited to the fool, he is one almost every Marvel Universe, not only in the mini, but also over 30 themes crossover officers (and another if you have a question are more impertinent Deadpool later) for many years meeting.

Marvel Secret Wars IICrossover ComicsSome chapters are ridiculous in Daredevil, Matt Murdock advertise Beyonder from around the world take legally and pay to restore sight - Murdock says the rejection of both the work and the gift of seeing, or Spider-Man two parter where The Beyonder an office building in solid gold, and Peter Parker throws a pad of solid gold. Some points, however, had a little 'more Heft them - such as problems where the Beyonder killed the New Mutants' syoung team, but only to revive it later, which left emotional scars on young people, which lasted for some time.

Ultimately, however, was not Secret Wars II defines what they do: they sell - but not as good as the first Secret Wars. The course should continue, but Marvel has had to rethink as before ...

Legends of DC Comics1986: Legends!
Grade: B + (for the Suicide Squad, and Justice League!)

DC enjoyed the crisis so much that he commissioned a new dateMini-Series. Like its competitors, Secret Wars II, Legends was a number of different books crossover - 20 tie ins as well - like the heroes of humankind have been hit by a distrust of them. By John Ostrander and Len Wein and drawn by John Byrne and Karl Kesel, Legends Written seen Darkseid manipulate events on Earth, by G. Gordon Godfrey () actually Glorious Godfrey, one of his lieutenants. He presented the former U. S. President Ronald Reagan, when he instructed the hero, not to use thePowers.

Legends of DC ComicsOf course, much of the anti-hero of hatred must be controlled, it makes sense if the truth was revealed, everything was normal again. While it was a bit 'like a cop-out at the end of Legends Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel in the new DC Universe was to begin, so you do not close completely. He also supervised a number of new series - Wally West had the old title role in Flash Barry Allen, Amanda Waller served as the Suicide Squad, and an off-beat collection of heroesformed in the new - and often hilarious funny - Maxwell Lord Justice League.

Yes, some laws have an impact - enough for them groped for it again next year ...

Mutants Marvel Comics1986 Massacre: The Mutant Massacre!
Grade: A-(for the trauma!)

Marvel now has another idea - instead of a mini-series, 1986 saw the introduction of the mutant form of the Mutant Massacre crossover. Running through Uncanny X-Men, New Mutants and X-Factor (thenthe only three X-books, if you can believe that!) and cross in Power Pack, Thor and Daredevil, the relatively short history, detailed the attack on the Morlocks - a community of deformed mutants who live in Manhattan - the Marauders.

Marvel Mutant Massacre ComicsThe looters were a group of criminals in largely forgettable, with one exception, as Sabretooth. Jumped to the Marvel Universe for a few years ago it only shows in Iron Fist (and laterin Power Man & Iron Fist) and Spectacular Spider-Man. This was his first appearance in x-pounds. Here, too, can only be a clone, like many other villains were finally revealed, it is frightening for the Lord. They were also years after it was revealed, supported by Gambit - but this was a retrospective change in history, which was made Gambit was at this time not even a gleam in the eyes of Chris Claremont's.

Here too, there are consequences, a number of child supportCharacters have been killed, Colossus, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat were injured and then went to Muir Island to relax, where they eventually form Excalibur, and X-Factor's resident millionaire, Angel received a blow when the wings were damaged so badly HELLO was to be amputee, his suicide and the subsequent renewal of the leadership of the Apocalypse as death, his winged horse. More importantly, paved the way for what is an annual event - the crossover mutant.

Millennium by DCComics1987: Millennium!
Grade: D (for the pure horror!)

DC thought they were onto something, but because they spread over six months, if you could do in two? Millennium was a theme of the week eight mini-series that ran more than 30 points in the two months that is where the heroes of the world were again forced to face a serious threat to the Manhunters (a race of cosmic robot originally designed as a Police Task Force created by the Guardians) must go to eight people, would rise to the killingnext stage of evolution, and the heroes were in their defense. Millennium by DC ComicsTheir mission was the fact that life almost every hero is a Manhunter agent infiltrated a certain extent - complicated, for example, was agent of Superman, Lana Lang, who had been brainwashed for years.

It 'was a disaster. The series has launched eight new characters, such as the New Guardians, but the series was short-lived. If you want all players have left, would move to the nextrather spectacular ...

Case of the mutants of Marvel Comics1987: The Fall of the Mutants!
Grade: B (for the common theme!)

Do not let too much, a good idea to die a natural death, had another Marvel crossover mutant.

This was something different. Instead of telling a great story, tells the story of these three mutants, the common themes (in common, namely that it is a bad time to make a mutant), the X-Factor, the team that fought the Apocalypse lives in an attack launched in NewYork, New Mutants, the young hero with an attack on the island in case of the mutants of Marvel ComicsAni treated men, and Uncanny X-Men, mutants of all preferred stock (do not worry, they are even better!) In Dallas, As he fought against the old enemy, oh, and Wolverine was able to throw Hulk on the road. The various elements of the story as well as Captain America, Daredevil, Hulk, Fantastic Four and Power Pack.

Case of the mutants of MarvelComicsOnce were branches - X-Factor went public as a mutant superhero who has lost the New Mutants Cypher, one of its members, and the act of X-Men in Australia for some years Covert Strike Team.

Mutant would hilarity in the next year, but Marvel also had plans for a new kind of crossover ...

This was to be for today, but next time I'm trying to maybe the most fun of all the crossover - DC Invasion! - And I watchReal Estate some of the weakest crossover of all time - the dreaded annual event!

'Til next time!

Earthworks
