Although crossover fatigue may be peaking, the inclination to blend stories between comic book publishers stands strong. Indeed, shortly after Marvel’s “Secret Wars” and DC’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” launched the mid-’80s era of events, the attempt to tell the biggest, boldest story possible made enormous crossovers an inevitability. This impulse ran rampant during the comic book boom of the ’90s, and if nothing else, the below selection of crossovers were a weird time for us all. Truth be told, there are plenty of bizarre ’90s crossovers that will live on as nostalgic highlights. Despite their obvious flaws, the likes of Batman/Starman/Hellboy fighting Nazis, or the X-Men gallivanting with the crew of Star Trek make for endlessly joyful reading.

Spider-Gwen is a relatively new member of the Spider-Man pantheon, debuting in 2014 as part of the Spider-Verse storyline. She’s from an alternate reality in which Peter Parker’s childhood friend, Gwen Stacy, is the one bitten by a radioactive spider instead of Parker himself. In an neat inverse of the fate of the original Gwen Stacy, it’s Gwen who fails to save Peter in the former’s origin story, accidentally killing the kid after he tries to make himself radioactive and cool just like her. In Spider-Verse, she assists a cadre of Spider-Peeps from all corners of the multi-verse recruiting help in defeating the villain Morlun and his family. The character was so popular, she was granted her own series, and Spider-Gwen was released in 2015 with a 25-issue run.

Story of childhood friends playing MMORPG debuted in 2015 Shogakukan's Gagaga Bunko imprint announced on Friday that Noritake Tao and Booota's Shichisei no Subaru (Seven Senses of the Re'Union) novels are getting a television anime adaptation. In the novels' story, there was once a legendary party named Subaru in the globally popular MMORPG Union. The group was made of elementary school friends. They earned fame in the blink of an eye for their unparalleled abilities in the Sense system at the core of the game. However, there was an incident where a player passed away inside the game. As a result of the death, Union ended service. Six years pass. Haruto Amō, who was a key member of Subaru, has become a hopeless high school student. His personality has changed, and he has no friends or ambition. A classmate gets him to log in to the new Re'Union game, and he ends up having a "reunion" that is hard to believe. He meets his former in-game partner and real-world childhood f

This is “How Can I Explain?”, which is a feature spotlighting inexplicable comic book plots. Today, we take a look at Wolverine’s adamantium poisoning. First off, there doesn’t seem to be any particularly good reason why having adamantium in one’s body would be a problem. People have metal put into their body all the time. Injured knees, broken hips, people have all sorts of metals like titanium and steel put into their body without any fear of getting poisoned by them, so it’s odd that adamantium would be poisonous, and yet, routinely it has been expressed that Wolverine’s healing factor has been depressed, a bit, by the fact that it was constantly curing him from adamantium poisoning. It has come up a few times over the years, but one of the more notable examples was in a storyline where the High Evolutionary wiped away all mutant abilities on Earth and the end result was Wolverine slowly dying from adamantium poisoning, as shown here in U

Live-action film adaptation of manga opens in Japan on October 28 The November issue of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine published a two-page side story by Kazune Kawahara for her Sensei! manga on Friday. The side story is set a number of years after the ending of the original manga. The side story commemorates the opening of Sensei! ...Suki ni Natte mo Ii desu ka? (Teacher! ...Is it All Right For Me to Like You?), the live-action film adaptation of the manga, on October 28. The issue also includes a round-table discussion between Kawahara and the film's leads Suzu Hirose and Toma Ikuta. The original manga's story centers on second-year high school student Hibiki Shimada, who is in love with her teacher Kōsaku Itō, a cold man who seems to hate girls, but is actually kind. The story begins when she accidentally puts a love letter entrusted to her by a friend in Kōsaku's shoe locker. Kawahara launched the manga in Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine in 1996, and end

Comics and crossovers have become almost synonymous in the last 30 years; companies have interconnecting webs of crossovers happening all year long, whether they’re between one or two of their titles, or line-wide rebrandings. Sometimes these can be legitimate avenues for readers to discover a new character that they wouldn’t normally take a chance on, but they can sometimes start to feel like an easy attempt to make some money by forcing you to follow disparate storylines that tie in tangentially to a crossover. RELATED: 15 Awful Crossovers From The ’90s That Made No Sense In the interest of a crossover, companies will sometimes share their characters, to try and spread the love across the board — it doesn’t happen as much anymore, with the peak crossovers like the Amalgam universe or JLA/Avengers over a decade past. But when they were popular, boy were they popular, with companies using any tangential relationship or resemblance between characters to make a crossover happen. And whi

Manga launched in July as lead-up to Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter Famitsu's Comic Clear website published the sixth and final chapter for GUNP's Wake Up, Girls! Eternal Senses manga on Friday.

New Chapter, which premiered on October 9 and is streaming on Crunchyroll as it airs. In the story of the original anime, Green Leaves Entertainment is a tiny production company on the verge of going out of business in Sendai, the biggest city in Japan's northeastern Tohoku region. The agency once managed the careers of magicians, photo idols, fortune-tellers, and other entertainers, but its last remaining client finally quit. In danger of having zero talent (literally), the president Tange hatches an idea of producing an idol group. On the brash president's orders, the dissatisfied manager Matsuda hea

The announcement came on the day of the anime's "Eroman Fes" event. The "new sibling romantic comedy" revolves around Masamune Izumi, a light novel author in high school. Masamune's little sister is Sagiri, a shut-in girl who hasn't left her room for an entire year. She even forces her brother to make and bring her meals when she stomps on the floor. Masamune wants his sister to leave her room, because the two of them are each other's only family. Masamune's novel illustrator, penname "Ero Manga Sensei," draws extremely perverted drawings, and is very reliable.
