Volume 2, Issue #3 Crossovers That Should Never But Already Do Exist

Vexed Men

In celebration of the release of the first issue of Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy, Anthony, Austin, and Adam talk about their favorite and least favorite cross-publisher crossovers. Plus, we tear down DC's new Rebirth, and discuss some less frustrating first issues. 2:00 - We may not fall into the demographic for Lumberjanes & Gotham Academy, but we think it's a very successful crossover, and are glad it exists. 6:55 - Celebrity appearances in comic books almost never work. Except when Muhammad Ali is involved 8:30 - Batman crossovers of varying quality. 9:50 - Marvel Vs DC, and Amalgam Comics, and Superman/Madman by Mike Allred. 22:25 - Our dream crossovers. 24:23 - We really, really aren't enjoying the new DC Rebirth issues. At all. 34:50 - There is a manga version of the first episode of Moffat & Gatiss's "Sherlock". 36:35 - Marvel's Civil War II miniseries. 38:40 - We do not enjoy Howard Chaykin's "Midnight Of The Soul". The art is great, though. 39:42 - We have complicated but positive feelings about the first issue of Merry Men, a queer reimagining of Robin Hood. 41:30 - new collections including No Mercy Volume 2, Flinch Volume 2, Heroes Vengeance, Nobody Likes A Goblin, so many Deadpool collections, Aw Yeah Comics, a Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Omnibus 45:05 - two adult coloring books of wildly polarizing qualities
