| This is the stuff nightmares are made of. |
Once upon a time, comic books were limited to whatever
universe they belonged in. Superman stayed in Metropolis, Batman stayed in
Gotham city and Spiderman stayed in Manhattan. Heroes either made cameo
appearances in other turfs or ignored them all together.
Then in the 80’s the DC and Marvel universes crossed over. They
proceeded to do it again in the 90’s, which in turn spawned some of the most
unholy abominations ever conceived from mankind. Ever heard of Dark Claw, the
unholy union of Wolverine and Batman? Or Super-Soldier, the ultimate American
hero that is not G.I. Joe, but rather a Superman/Captain America Hybrid? Or
better still, let’s try Shatterstarfire which is where I like to think that the
creative juices just turned into cyanide laced Kool-Aid.
