5 Best Avengers Crossovers with Other Franchises, Ranked
Over the decades, Marvel has tried numerous tricks to keep its stories fresh — and nothing works quite like crossovers.
Here are five best Avengers crossovers of all time!
5. Amalgam Comics
One of the most famous attempts at fusing Marvel and DC together to create something unique, Amalgam was very short-lived but fun nonetheless. It affected far more than just Avengers, though: all major superheroes of these two Universes were fused. Even organizations were replaced by their combinations resulting in things like JLX (Justice League + X-Men).
4. Marvel vs. Capcom
The rivalry between Marvel's comic book heroes and Capcom's video game characters translated to both industries. As Capcom released special arcades, Marvel issued comics about the fight between those characters — and those stories are actually considered canon in Marvel's Multiverse!
3. Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness
What happens when you drop Army of Darkness' zombie slayer Ash Williams right in the middle of the zombie plague in the Marvel Universe and make him confront the undead and hungry versions of popular heroes? The answer is — a whole lot of fun... Gory, gross, and graphic, but still fun!
2. Marvel x Mickey Mouse
This isn't a joke — but not a full-blown official crossover, either. The two very different universes fused for the shortest period of time this year when Marvel went on to honor the grand anniversary of Disney after being bought by the latter as Marvel issued special comic book covers portraying Mickey Mouse and his friends as the iconic Avengers characters.
1. Avengers x Justice League
The pinnacle of Marvel x DC crossovers, Avengers/Justice League is the best shared story of the two companies.
According to the premise, the greatest heroes of both worlds were forced to unite to save the two universes after the shenanigans of Grandmaster and Krona endangered everyone, everywhere, all at once.
Both Marvel and DC fans adore this crossover as it showcases all characters in their full glory and treats each of them with full respect.
