Many decades ago it seemed impossible to imagine that DC y Marvel They would shake hands to give birth to a crossover, but the truth is that it happened. Both publishers teamed up to create crazy unions, although too much time has passed since the last time we saw their characters get into a fight.
Specifically in 2003, since that year it was published JLA/Avengersa miniseries led by Kurt Busiek and George Pérez, but what could not be imagined is that it would be the last trace of a crossover. Since then, there have been no rapprochements between the companies, which have given rise to collaborations with Looney Tunes or Predator, for example.
As collected from ComicBookthere is a reason for this drastic decline in joint adventures and it has been explained by Tom Brevoort, vice president and executive editor of Marvel Comics. “Marvel is not interested in doing too many crossovers. Instead, DC in recent years has been much more open to making them. But whenever Marvel participates in one, there is usually some internal reason, some objective that this crossover helps achieve,” the person in charge explained.
It is true that at the end of Doomsday Clockin 2019, the arrival of Secret Crisis was hinted at, an event that would unite universes again, but in 2030. However, Brevoort believes that “Each case is different, so I can’t tell you why we do each one or which ones result from that Marvel approaches other companies and which ones are because other companies approached us.
Therefore, even if we want Superman to break Captain America’s mouth or for Spider-Man to make a fool of Batman, any of those fantasies are going to have to wait a long time in the drawer of illusions.
