Ive been reading this series and its fantastic. Totally recommend to anyone even somewhat interested in Vision

So even when Marvel and DC were on the friendliest terms, obviously business formality includes not having heavy references to the others outside of crossovers.

But you have stuff like this both referencing Superman VS Spider-Man:

What If? V1 #1
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/54011105.jpg

Shown as a demonstration of alternate realities.

Avengers Forever #8
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/765927a7.jpg

In the notes at the end of #10 Ock's partner is referred to as "A striking looking bald man".

Is that Doc Ock giving Lex Luthor a piggyback ride?

He is giving a piggy back ride to as noted "A striking looking bald man".

But yeah. Lack of a name on panel allows for the scene to be used.

Though last decade while I didn't read where it happens, there was a brief recollection of people who held Mjonir and glimpse of Wonder Woman (Marvel VS DC) as well as Superman (JLA/Avengers) included.

Heck, Green Lantern V3 #87 even included as a crossover set up Access from the Marvel/DC trilogy of the 90s. Access legally belongs to both Marvel and DC.

And there's the "Buried Alien", fastest man alive.

Also due to not drawing him fully, Aquaman and by extension a story in his ended series way back concluded in an issue of Submariner.

Oh, how could I forget the Mighty Endowed. She's an archaeologist who stumbled upon an artifact that turned her into a New God and gave her hypnotic tig ol bitties. Her primary weakness is that her breasts are so enormous that she can't stand up on her own.

First off, 2022 saw the release of the first of an ongoing reprint:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/885f65c7.jpg

An oversight though is choosing to advertise the reprint of Just US Justice Ducks which is an adaptation of the two part DWD episode.

More significant is that it is the first reprint of what was basically a swan song on the Disney Adventures comics featuring the Disney Afternoon properties, Legend of the Chaos God.

It's more of a Crisis Crossover where each installment is within a different Disney Afternoon title as Disney didn't allow for full on crossovers, but still a good story.

It starts in Tale Spin with a gemstone being discovered containing the spirit of Solego the titular Chaos God who depends on someone to hold the gemstone so he can possess them and reattach the gem to the original necklace. Thus he would be restored to normal and free to do evil unrestricted.

TS ends with the two artifacts separated and the gemstone tossed into the sea which it would remain up to the present and discovered in Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers (Which yeah has to ignore the presence of regular humans for the sake of crossing over) and continues into Goof Troops, DuckTales and concluding in Darkwing Duck.

I do have the Darkwing Duck installment also in Disney Adventures Volume 5 Issue 2.

A variation of the same pic due to an error which was corrected in the reprint:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/5/2/AAQfvwAACJ88.jpg

The reprint:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/5/1/AAQfvwAACJ87.jpg

Basically due to an oversight, Fenton Crackshell appeared in the group despite being in the Gizmoduck suit.

But yeah there's 5 volumes of these trades plus a volume of One Saturday Morning with stories such as:

- Pepper Ann
- Disney's Doug
- Recess
- Teacher's Pet
- Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
- The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

My favorite 2 "no names mentioned because of legal reasons but this is totally a crossover" are when Superman went back in time to Asterix and when DC had an alternative post-apocalyptic Earth caused by the adventures of Tintin.

@Foppe

Additionally after the first Sonic/Mega Man crossover, the Wily Egg which was the Drs' vehicle was used immediately in a Sonic Universe arc, so said vessel was modified to fit the villains pirate motif and well to skirt copyright concerns.

Need to recheck, but I believe Adventures of the X-Men (Comic made to cash in on X-Men '92) mentions the Living Tribunal's DC counterpart as as "Hooded spectre".

JLA/Avengers ended with the DC villain Krona turning into a Cosmic Egg. While the condition was reversed, that was actually kept for a while in DC books following on. Even is mentioned in JLA's Syndicate Rules mentioning Krona finding out about another universe while trying to find the secret of creation and that the League stopped him with some help.

Negaduck needs something from Darkwing Duck's girlfriend (Not that!)

So he does his usual disguise (from Disguise The Limit and Just Us Justice Ducks Part 1):

To be fair, a St. Canard citizen would fall for this easy. Take a wild guess how this works out for him.

The creator of Howard the Duck was angry for a long time that Marvel stole Howard from him.
He worked for Image Comic when he got a chance of making a Spider-Man / Howard teamup for Marvel. He also made a Savage the Dragon comic that takes place at the same time, and reading it reveals that Howard is taken from the Marvel universe to the Image universe where he goes into a witness protection program and change colors and name. Left in the Marvel universe is a clone from the Image universe.

@Foppe
Yep. Have the Spider-Man Team Up issue.

Yeah, but even by the early 70s, anyone working for either Marvel or DC should have known that any characters they created while doing so belonged to the company, not them. It's not fair, but it's the work-for-hire model.

ACTION COMICS #579
Jimmy Olsen visits a museum that shows the Arverne Shield, the very same surrendered to Caesar by the Gaul chief Vercingetorix when everything but one tiny village fell to the Roman Empire if you know your Asterix. Bandits tries to steal it, Jimmy calls Superman and the shield is destroyed. Meanwhile back in time, a druid working with the Romans uses the shield as an anchor to kidnap a really strong guy from the future which they hope to brainwash to help them.

TEEN TITANS SPOTLIGHT #11
The Brotherhood of Evilgets zapped to another dimension by mistake.
Here the Cold War escalated after Tintin went to the moon. Soviet sees him as a big power player (I mean, he destroyed the worlds biggest drug smuggling ring at least twice, have started and ended wars and revolutions, he caused Japans withdraws from the League of Nations, etc etc) and starts to experiment with magical weapons. It goes to hell and magical radiation causes a postapocalyptic future with mutants.
Tintin, who is more like He-Man, rides his mutated dog, and his allies The Captain and The Professor tries to save the world.

He'd know how to eat a burger.

I know how to eat a pizza but there was one pizza place where id eat it with a fork and knife. Slices where so large and flimsy it could get messy.

Fittingly, Thailog (Goliath's clone) having different coloring was inspired by the Fantastic Four's costume change in the 80s, and Negaduck's differing costume as well.

Depending on the story Linkara once cited, The Flash (When Wally was The Flash) did OMD before OMD and also better.
