Marvel Comics Collects Its Marvel/DC Crossovers As The Dead Of Knight
Marvel Comics collects its Marvel/DC Crossovers as The Dead Of Knight... and the DC version gets a new Jim Cheung cover
Article Summary
- Marvel and DC are collecting their latest crossover comics in separate editions this September.
- The Marvel collection is titled The Dead Of Knight & Other Stories, with a new Mark Bagley cover.
- DC’s edition, The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories, spotlights Batman/Deadpool and other team-ups.
- Both collections feature premiere printings of crossover one-shots and Infinity Comics exclusives.
Bleeding Cool already reported that DC Comics would be collecting their half of the current Marvel/DC crossovers as DC/Marvel: The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories. With DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1, DC/Marvel: Superman/Spider- Man #1. DC/Marvel: The Flash/Fantastic Four and DC/Marvel: Supergirl/Blade. And that Marvel Comics would be along with their version shortly. But while the DC version cover features the DC/Marvel logo title rather prominently… with "The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories" referencing the Batman/Deadpool story, knocked into a subhead.

The Marvel Comics version doesn't, pushing the logos to the side, and raising the subhead to the main title of the book, now The Dead Of Knight & Other Stories, referencing the Deadpool/Batman story.
"Icons collide! The heroes of two worlds are crossing over for the first time in decades – and now their new adventures are getting collected in a single-volume edition, available simultaneously in paperback and hardcover this September. 'The Dead of Knight & Other Stories', collecting the best-selling 'Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman' #1 and 'Marvel/DC: Spider-Man/Superman' #1 issues, plus (for the first time in print!) the 'Thor/Shazam!' #1 and 'It's Jeff/Aquaman' #1 Infinity Comics, arrives in comic shops and bookstores later this year featuring an all-new cover by artist Mark Bagley."

It just ends up being a bit of a rubbish title… at least the way it has been arranged on the cover… but then I discover that the DC Comics version is actually going to look more like that as well… here's your first look, courtesy of Bleeding Cool.
