The Greatest Team-Ups of All Time... DC and Marvel are back together with new Omnibus

DC and Marvel have been rivals for the longest time, but there are times when they put aside their differences and worked together. This happened first in 1976’s Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man and even as recently with Batman/Daredevil in the 2000s.

But since then, the two power house comic makers have been doing their own things, but now they are back together, though not with new but rather classic releases in two new Omnibus’.

This August will see DC Versus Marvel Omnibus and DC/Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus released, each containing classic stories. Here is a little on each of the two collections.

DC/Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus

First told in 1996, of the two superhero universes fused together into a new Amalgam Universe, combining DC’s and Marvel’s heroes, villains, and mythologies. The result was a series of unforgettable one-shot comic books starring the likes of Dark Claw (Batman and Wolverine), Super Soldier (Superman and Captain America), Iron Lantern (Iron Man and Green Lantern), and many more!

The collection includes DC Versus Marvel #1-4, DC/Marvel: All Access #1-4, Unlimited Access #1-4, Bat-Thing #1, Bruce Wayne: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1, Challengers of the Fantastic #1, Doctor Strangefate #1, Iron Lantern #1, Legends of the Dark Claw #1, Lobo the Duck #1, Speed Demon #1, Spider-Boy #1, Super Soldier #1, Thorion of the New Asgods #1, X-Patrol #1, and more, plus a treasure trove of behind-the-scenes material.
