Superhero Anydays
Forty some years ago, DC and Marvel worked together to publish a few cross company team ups. One was between the two hottest teams from each company: The Teen Titans and the Uncanny X-Men. I forget who wrote it, but it was drawn by Walter Simonson. Here is the cover:
Raven (TT), Cyborg (TT), Wolverine (XM), Changling (TT), Sprite (XM), Colossus (XM), Kid Flash (TT), Storm (XM), Robin (TT), Wonder Girl (TT), Nightcrawler (XM), Cyclops (XM), Starfire (TT)
Above them are the bad guys Darkseid (DC) and Dark Phoenix (Marvel) flanking the X-Men's Professor X sitting in DC's Mobius chair.
The story was, as I recall, convoluted. And while I didn't really like it, I didn't dislike it either. It was just kinda meh. But I had hopes for more teamups forth coming (we had already has Superman/Spiderman and Batman/Hulk). But nope, this was it. The two companies had a falling out over the JLA/Avengers teamup and no more were done. And it'd take over 20 years to get a JLA/Avengers teamup done.
