Off THEIR Minds: What Marvel & DC Characters Would Make a Good Amalgam?

We get Brian Buccellato, James Robinson, Peter Nguyen, Matt Fraction, Kyle Higgins, James Tynion IV, Jim McCann, Josh Williamson, Sam Humphries and Josh Fialkov to answer the question.

The 90s gave us a lot of crazy things in comics. Not all of them were bad. In a time when comic book crossovers happened frequently, we saw the ultimate crossover between Marvel and DC Comics. It was more than just a crossover, the two publishers made a new comic imprint.

Twelve issues (one-shots) were released with a second round the following year. The Amalgam Universe gave us characters that were a combination of existing Marvel and DC characters. The entire universes were combined or mashed together. Some of them were a little silly but a lot ended up being pretty cool. (You can check out the list of comics released HERE).

The chances of a return to the Amalgam Universe might be pretty slim these days but we can't help but think about the other possibilities. At Emerald City Comicon, several comic book creators were asked what Marvel and DC characters would they like to see or write an Amalgam of.

Who knows if we'll ever see another Amalgam comic. Perhaps someday it could happen. If creators and fans are interested, seems like a no-brainer. What other possible Amalgams are there, yet to be seen?
