I haven't gotten the other crossover books yet but this one was decent. It isn't earthshattering but the combination of entities goes relatively smooth.

The first story deals with GL Kyle Rayner , Silver Surfer , and Thanos among others. Kyle is in the time period of still being relatively new to the Ring , and Hal Jordan has a point in this issue as Parallax.

The second story has Batman and Spiderman teaming up to deal with the Kingpin and R'as Al Ghul. I felt Spiderman's comedic tone was great around Batman in this story.

The third story deals with Darkseid and Galactus. I'm quite interested in the Darkseid character and his interaction with Galactus is very good. Orion has a fierce battle with Silver Surfer and they give that one a definative winner.

The final story deals with Galactus , Superman , Cyborg , and the Fantastic Four. Cyborg , Galactus , and Silver Surfer are characters that cross over multiple stories in this book. Galactus and Cyborg get a nifty send-off from the Fantastic Four plus Supes. One neat point about the Fantastic Four is that the young child has toys and fanfare of Superman that I remember seeing in issues other then this one.

Overall I thought it was an enjoyable book and the price was good. Hope this review helps because the other ones have basic descriptions and this one didn't.

This is a GREAT collection, a sign of things that SHOULD come about with more frequency, and more relevance to both universes. My personal favorite story in this book was Sliver Surfer/Green Lantern. Not only was the story great, but it also "worked". It was totally beleivable as an event spanning two universes, which the other stories in this book fail to do. They simply....place everyone in the same universe. Silver Sufer/Green Lantern actually describes a plausible scenario for everyone to be interacting. It should be in the continuity of both universes (but, is ignored, unfortunately).

If only DC and Marvel could team up to do a monthly series about universe-spanning threats.

I though that the Green Lantern Silver Surfer was by far the best part of the book. The Superman FF4 was also pretty good--especially when Superman becomes the herald of Galactus. Spider-man/Batman failed to explain how each of these characters belonged to the same earth-like reality, but Kingpin was actually pretty likable--what a surprise! These comics make great holiday gifts for kids of any age Personally, I prefer seeing the good-guys work together than against one another. I was hoping to see Galactus kick Darkseid's rear, but that did not happen.

This is the 4th in the DC/Marvel (or Marvel/DC) Crossover Classics series, and to be honest after the expectations from the other three books I'll admit I was a bit disappointed with this one. The Stories themselves were not bad, but they were shorter, more compact and didn't make (at least in my opinion) as compelling a story, this is also the smallest of all the books in the series because it has no only smaller stories but fewer stories overall. Again I have to say the stories themselves are not bad but I was disappointed in the book's length, I thought It would take me about a day, maybe two to read, much like the other books in this series and others where DC and Marvel characters clash, but this was an afternoon's read, a day at best. It is still a good book and being a collector I have to say I do like it, but not as much as the other three. Thanks for reading, have a nice day.
