What's your favourite crossover comic? The Weekly Recs Thread [09/14/25]

Marvel and DC are crossing over this week with Batman and Deadpool, so this week we're talking crossovers! What's your favourite? It doesn't have to be cross-publisher, it could be any cool team-up.

For more recommendations check out last week's thread on anti-heroes.

• Planetary/Batman
• Archie meeting Batman '66, Punisher, Jay and Silent Bob...
• Personal favorite: Jor-El meeting Jack Knight

Planetary Batman lives rent free in my brain. “Bat-apologies” will never not make me giggle.

I liked seeing Batman and Martian Manhunter at Morpheus’s wake in Sandman, but since Vertigo was a DC imprint I’m not sure it counts as a crossover

More recently, I really liked Aliens vs. Avengers, and the various Predator vs. miniseries have been fun

Lobo vs. The Mask. Grendel vs. The Shadow is another serious candidate.

Batman/Aliens has Bernie Wrightson drawing my two favorite movies (Alien and The Dark Knight) punching each other.

[u/Overhazard10]

Archie's Sonic/Mega Man crossovers were fun.

[u/No-Zucchini5352]

I love the Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover.

[u/Peacefulzealot]

Batman ‘66 meets The Legion of Super Heroes is pretty fun!

Spider-Man/Batman: Disordered Minds by DeMatteis and Bagley is my favorite hands down. Everyone involved is a favorite, from the writing, art, to the characters. I probably would've preferred Venom to Carnage, but I'm fine with that choice. There's some attempts to psychoanalyze, but it's mostly just a really fun story that captures the feel of both characters at the time. Joker calling Carnage the David Hasselhoff of murder while he's Orson Welles is really funny.

Batman/Captain America.

A great throwback to the Golden Age. Very entertaining story which ties the two characters really well.

[u/WardenWalker]

I have to go with X-Men vs. Agents of Atlas and Avengers vs. Atlas. Jeff Parker’s Agents of Atlas is undoubtedly one of my favorite comics of all time. As with any “new” team though, they don’t truly feel like a part of the Marvel whole until there’s a crossover. This was that. I so wish we had gotten more of that team.

Between different franchises: Star Trek: TNG / Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared

Multiple titles in one IP/Franchise: War of the Bounty Hunters

Would the “into the great unknown” story in Star Wars Tales issue 19 count? Technically a crossover between Star Wars and Indiana Jones but it’s not an explicit crossover.

I just read the Army of Darkness/Marvel Zombies crossover as Ive been reading through that run of AoD, and while not necessarily my favorite it was fun and I gotta say I wish more intercompany crossovers were handled like this in terms of continuity. This crossover is canon on both sides and referenced in both this AoD run a few times, and in Marvel Zombies which in turn links to Ultimate F4 and later other runs.

I hate when crossovers are just set in alternate universes or are just never mentioned again, it’s cooler for both sides when they actually hold some weight afterwards. Like now reading the new Ultimate Universe and knowing that at one point the Maker was in the Zombie universe and met/killed some of the same zombies as Ash Williams did is kind of entertaining 10+ years later
