Marvel and DC heroes and villains combine into one for some of the most unique stories in superhero history--and these once-in-a-life stories are back in print for the first time in decades, in a once-in-a-lifetime omnibus collection! Who would win: Batman or Captain America? Superman or the Hulk? Wonder Woman or Storm? In 1996, DC and Marvel decided to bring these timeless debates to the printed page, and give fans what they had been hoping-against-hope for: a DC vs. Marvel comic book series, with 11 battles between the superpowered worlds of the DC Universe and Marvel Universe! While seeing these conflicts brought to comic book life was shocking enough, what happened next was even more unexpected--the two fictional universes fusing together and creating the Amalgam Universe, combining DC and Marvel's heroes, villains, and mythologies! The result was unforgettable one-shot stories starring the likes of Dark Claw (Batman and Wolverine), Super Soldier (Superman and Captain America), Iron Lantern (Iron Man and Green Lantern), the JLX (the Justice League and the X-Men), and many more! These stories have been out of print for decades, and have become something of a legend among current readers--but they're back in DC Versus Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus, collecting the Amalgam one-shots, plus the historic DC vs. Marvel miniseries and its subsequent sequels! These stories, from creators such as Peter David, Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Dave Gibbons, Ron Marz, José Luis García-López, Gary Frank, Bill Sienkiewicz, and more, represent one of the most fun and unlikely periods in comic book history, and now are available in one omnibus, perfect for fans of both DC and Marvel. DC/Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus is a companion volume to DC Versus Marvel Omnibus, presenting the many Marvel vs. DC battles over the years! This volume collects DC vs. Marvel #1 and 4, Marvel vs.
The established boundaries between the DC and Marvel universes shatter, forcing their greatest heroes and villains into a desperate battle for existence. The inciting incident is a cosmic conflict that pits iconic characters against their counterparts from the opposing universe, leading to an unexpected fusion of their realities.
