I thought the story made sense and the art was wonderful!! I love the idea of Galactus attempting to eat Apokolips. Batman should never be able to knock the Hulk out with a Batkick. I always wanted Batman to go up against the Kingpin, but I don't think they've done it right yet. Honestly I have the Spider-man/Batman crossover with the Joker and Carnage.

They were able to mesh the current storylines of both teams well and the writer captured the characters. Spider-man/Batman was second best...Mark Bagley doing Batman and Joker. Best art ive been for the Dark Knight and Bagley is THE spiderman artist. Batman/Predator was also a real good crossover. inspired the batman:dead end movie...best batman and joker ive seen in a movie...no foam rubber costume Now the ones that really sucked: Batman/Spiderman - DC published that one. RAs Al Ghul and the Kingpin? that was a poor writing job and artwork was not up to par. Batman/Daredevil- another DC weak story...poor writing and art Batman/Spawn see the pattern here? Superman/Tarzan....ugh? The X-men-Teen Titans crossover was the best overall. They were able to mesh the current storylines of both teams well and the writer captured the characters.

Why has Iron Man never been in a Cross over by himself agreed he did have a go in the JLA/Avenger classic (yes you heard right Classic). i put it forward that Iron man and Steel duke it out and who cares if there isn't a bad guy to be seen, I love to know who win out of the metal men of Marvel and DC.

So forget my first part and just put Daredevil/Batman onto the list of "worst crossovers", close to JLA/WildCATS (because it has really, really, really, really bad artwork).

What Dan said. And, frankly, this is the least Marvel
should do. There are A LOT of classic Thor stories that
still need to be reprinted.

Going back to the crossovers, I agree that X-Men/Titans
should be on the list. It's the best of those early
crossovers. But I do agree that Cap/Batman is the best
overall (note that I've yet to read JLA/Avengers, I made
the mistake to wait for the trade on that one. Still
waiting...).

Simonson's art is great, but Claremont seemed to capture both teams expertly. He seemed to be channeling Marv Wolfman for the Titans. Wolverine vs. the Terminator was classic: both of them couldn't believe they found someone else who was "the best there is." There were plenty of little fanboy in-jokes. (Gar Logan to Wolverine: "Kitty says your name is Logan too. Think we're related?" Wolverine: "Kitty talks too flamin' much.") Yes, there was a lot of the Phoenix psychodrama, but at the time, Marvel writers had not yet beaten that horse to death. I'll go further and argue the X-Titans crossover actually holds up today.

X-Men/Titans should be on there instead of Batman/Hulk. The two books always had a similar "soap opera" feel that mesh very nicely for a crossover, and it has one of the best moments to grace these books (after Starfire kisses Colossus to pick up Russian, and the X-Men learn that she picks up languages by touch, Nightcrawler leans in and says, "Fraulein! Sprechen sie deutch?") And for the other penny, the second Superman/Spider-Man crossover is much better than the first. Jim Shooter is just having way too much fun writing Doom--the bit where he delivers a huge "pompous Doom speech", then orders the recording of it sent to him later on so he can edit it for posterity, is classic. Oh, and the bits with Wonder Woman and Spider-Man are also great. Most of these crossovers tend to be formulaic--Villain from Company A teams up with Villain from Company B, and Hero from Company A has to team up with Hero from Company B to stop them. It's usually in the little bits in between--the character moments, the jokes, et cetera--that you get the best stuff.
