Average Rating:  out of 5 stars


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - really interesting.
if you love marvel, and if you love dc, this is something that you got to add to your collection, in this cross over that occurred during the marvel vs dc event, both universes unite to create only one amalgamated universe, with characters who are "amalgams" of two or more characters from both universes, in order for you to really enjoy this collection of hypothetical titles you should be a fan of both universes, and fill in the blanks that come before and after the titles (none of the issues are ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I Gained Respect for the Original Characters
I liked the idea of throwing these characters in a melting pot and seeing what happens, but the result is to messy to focus upon. I loved the DC versus Marvel comic, but this spin-off or spin-offs was all just too much for me.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The amalgam age of comics
This was a five star comic book n if u like the DC vs Marvel comic then this is a comic book to buy



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Unique but strangly comforting
The most interesting thing about these stories to me was that unlike the "Marvel verses DC" story where characters were matched up to fight based on the similarity of their strenghts and powers (ie Hulk vs Superman, Sub-mariner vs Aquaman, Batman vs Captain America), characters in this book were matched up based on their personalites.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Journey to Another Universe
If you are a fan of Marvel and DC superhero material; this one is for you. Especially the Wolverine Batman combination in this volume! This is where the comic companies should be expending their efforts. It's experimental mini-series titles like this that make the genre interesting again. Another I loved was Dave Gibbons Captain America/Superman hero the Super-Soldier. There should be a sequel to this series! It's too good to pass up!
