Word!

Watchmen deserves a shout aswell. I HEART Watchmen.

Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Secret Wars, for the sheer fun. Civil War for its excellent, thoughtful writing. Infinity Gauntlet for, well, Adam Warlockm Thanos, Surfer and Death.

Kingdom Come and Crisis....are decent, too, as far as DC goes.

I'll agree on all of those, except for two things. One, Crisis had great writing. DC's is usually better than Marvel's. And 2, "Civil War for its excellent, thoughtful writing. " hysterical

What was wrong with CV's writing? Besides, DC's writing is terribly overrated.

For Marvel, I can't think of many xovers I actually like. I guess I'll say my fav's are Infinity Gauntlet & Annihilation - most of the other xovers have sucked and at least those weren't too bad.

I like Kingdom Come, Watchmen, even Crisis on Infinite Earths (concept-wise it was interesting)

Funny thing is, I prefer Marvel to DC personally but I've always felt DC did crossovers better. I hate most of Marvels events with a passion. Ironic

Go read the Civil war report. there's a link in there somewhere for CW in 30 seconds.

Yea, Civil War just seemed pointless. HoM, Disassembled, Onslought, Reborn blah blah blah. I've hated Marvel's mainstream xovers for years - they're all hype. To be honest, I think after IG - I lost interest in Marvel events period. The only good crossover in recent years is Annihilation.

I just think of the good ole' days

My favorite would be the IG arc, next then would be Serect Wars I

Ironic You know what I always thought this was so because DC simply has a better general story to put so many characters together. I mean most croosovers either center on Superman or is primarily ran through the JLA> Everything else just kind of follows it so a lot of the ground work doesn't have to be laid out with DC.

Marvel -IG definitely. The IW was also pretty good.

DC- Crisis

For me, it has to be Secret Wars I (I'm still trying to erase II from my memory!) followed by IG.

The story itself was shit IMO.

Same here. Because that was an event that had real change for the DC universe, and for the better. It's almost like the calender at DC changed from B.C. to A.D., that's how significant it was.
Secret Wars I & II were just large-scale battles that would mean nothing by the end. The closest Marvel has gotten to the effect of the original Crisis, can be found somewhat in Civil War and Annihilation.

I don't count series like Watchmen or V For Vendetta (seperate universe), or Kingdom Come or The Dark Knight Returns (alternate futures/elseworlds) - for this question, only events within the mainstream at the time.

Secret Wars!!!

Zero Hour

Don't ever, ever say that again. I will let it slip because I know you mean GDF. Also, I used to be quite fond of the Comic Forums, just checking if everything is still fine down here.

The greatest event EVER in Marvel didn't happen unfortunately enough.

It was infact , the revelation of the third summers brother , and it would be AWESOME and not involving a character pulled out of the writers as*hole and quickly labeled as 'teh most powerful one of dem all !!!!11111'.

Yes i'm speaking of Weinburg's "Apocalypse is the Third Summers brother " storyline.

I read the link. MY god, that is genius. It would explain so much and completely change the MU. Although, it would probably hype Cyclop&Havok too much. It's too late now, but this begs the question. WHERE THE HELL DID APOCALYPSE GET HIS GREY SKIN AND BLUE LIPS!?

Meh , a desert life does the body both good AND bad....

He had those when he was born. And what happened to his hair?

Celestial tech screws with his body.

Secret Wars 1 rocked my socks

First graphic novel I ever bought and still my favourite

was anyone else spaz (or were any of you even ALIVE??) when the first contest of champions appeared? i remember i literally couldn't WAIT to see the heroes squaring off against each other.

the anticipation for marvel vs dc was awesome in my mind as well, though the product didn't quite live up to all the hype. i like the jla/avengers as well . . .
