Folks, all those drills you’ve been running about what would happen if there was a new DC and Marvel crossover? They’re about to pay off, as two one-shots pitting the publishers against each other are coming later in 2025.
The news comes via The Beat’s Heidi MacDonald, who is live-skeeting the currently running ComicsPro event where publishers present their upcoming slates to comic shop owners and others. In a surprise appearance while DC Comics chief Marie Javins was addressing publishing plans, Marvel’s own EIC C.B. Cebulski showed up to announce the news: two one-shots, seemingly titled Marvel/DC and DC/Marvel, coming later this year.
That’s the long and the short of it, and expect a lot more news to come including who is writing, who is drawing, characters, involved, etc. But to speculate a bit I’d have to imagine at least part of the impetus for crossing the line former EIC Dan Didio swore would never be crossed is the overwhelming success of the DC Versus Marvel omnibuses that were released last year. While they were heavily delayed, the duo of over-sized collections have been massive sales successes. And when something sells well? There’s gonna be more of it.
