Die Vermischung der DC- und Marvel-Universen führt hier zu einigen sehr netten Geschichten. Das interessante dabei ist, dass der Plot hierbei nicht wichtig ist, sondern die einfach die Darstellung der amalgamierten Charaktere. Meist wird, wie in den "echten" Comics auch, von einer bereits bekannten Historie der Charaktere ausgegangen, und was mir dabei besonders gefällt, ist, dass sich die Autoren nicht übermäßig ernst genommen haben, sondern den Spaßfaktor erkennen und sich später...more

Folks who know way too much about the DC and Marvel universes
In the Amalgam Comics collections, the two modern American comics giants, Marvel and DC, "mash-up" their characters, major and minor, for a whole mess o'fun. One of the most enjoyable aspects of reading these comics is trying to tease apart the original characters and references. Some of the more awesome characters in this volume include: Dark Claw (Batman meets Wolverine), Super-Soldier (Superman meets Captain America), and Lobo the Duck (Howard the Duck meets Lobo).
Great formula for making each hero.
Fun stuff.
