Marvel And DC Confirm They Are Publishing Two Crossover Omnibuses

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool broke the story that Marvel and DC were to reprint all their crossover titles, now confirmed as two Omnibuses.

Well, that was quite the Rich Twitch. Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran the scoop and broke the story that Marvel and DC Comics were to reprint all their crossover titles, as well as the Amalgam line of books. And today, both have totally coincidentally announced that they will be publishing two Omnibuses, DC Versus Marvel Omnibus and DC/Marvel: The Amalgam Age Omnibus, both on the 6th of August, 2024.

The DC Versus Marvel Omnibus will include, in alphabetical order.

• Batman/Captain America #1
• Batman/Daredevil #1

So much has changed since then… Deadpool/Deathstroke? Ms Marvel/Trinity? Valeria, Franklin and the Super Sons? Damian Wayne And Spider-Boy? Riri Williams and Natasha Irons? Krakoa Vs Kooey Kooey Kooey? Start your fan fiction engines… now.

The vast and varied history of DC versus Marvel returns to print for the first time in decades with two massive volumes collecting the universe-bending comic book crossovers between the greatest characters in pop culture!
