Get ready for a comic book revolution! 2025 is shaping up to be the year Marvel and DC finally bury the hatchet and join forces like never before. After the recent success of Deadpool/Batman #1 and the upcoming Batman/Deadpool #1, the two powerhouse publishers are doubling down on their collaboration. But here's where it gets even more exciting: they’ve just dropped two brand-new crossover comics that are already making waves.
Today, Marvel and DC each unleashed a digital exclusive that’s got fans buzzing. Marvel Unlimited subscribers can dive into Thor/SHAZAM!, a thunderous adventure penned by Al Ewing, illustrated by Jethro Morales, and featuring a stunning cover by Martín Cóccolo. Over on DC Universe Infinite, subscribers can enjoy The Flash/Fantastic Four, crafted by writer Jeremy Adams and artist Adrián Gutiérrez. And this is the part most people miss: both comics are presented in a vertical scroll format, a fresh twist that’s perfect for digital readers.
Marvel’s Thor/SHAZAM! promises a clash of titans as Donald Blake and Billy Batson race to reclaim their powers and save both universes from a familiar threat. DC’s The Flash/Fantastic Four takes Barry Allen and the Fantastic Four on a high-octane journey through the Speed Force, where they must stop Gorilla Grodd’s sinister plan for mental domination. But here’s the controversial part: while fans are thrilled, some are already debating which crossover is the superior team-up. Which one would you pick?
If you’re a subscriber to either Marvel Unlimited or DC Universe Infinite, you’re in luck—you’ll receive an exclusive code for a 30-day free trial of the other platform. It’s a win-win for comic lovers everywhere. And don’t forget to check out IGN’s wishlist for future crossovers (like Batman/Daredevil or X-Men/Justice League) that could shake up the comic world even more.
