I just couldn't get into the story. Some of the fighting pairings were good and interesting but overall it did not impress me much...

Mindless fun and a fast read. It gets straight to the action and the story. Good matchups with very little depth or a storyline, but is still a fun read.

Following the story line two "gods" becoming aware of each other and deciding to pit their heroes against each other, the epic also spawned the Amalgam Universe, in which characters from both "worlds" were combined to make new heroes - my personal favorite being Dark Claw (Batman & Wolverine). This also means that while the epic is presented in full - the battles plus the resolving of the two universes - it also lacks the Amalgam comics that followed. And while these comics are available in collections, I opted out from reading them - I remember a few titles were not to my liking.
As for the book? Well, it's a must have for comic book geeks everywhere - especially if you grew up in the 90's. As for literary significance, well, is there anyway to say this correctly? Don't try to destroy your brother? I dunno. I really don't know.

I thought this was going to be some good ole fashioned mindless entertainment. It certainly was mindless, but entertaining? God no! It was terrible though. So if you want some mindless terrible garbage, go ahead and read this 95 mini-series.

The only thing I enjoy more than crossovers are mash-ups, this comic has both.
The story arch seems sketchy and thin but to be honest the story is not the reason to read this comic. The point is to see Storm Battling Wonder Woman and to enjoy the witty banter between Aqua Man and Namor, and to see who is faster The Flash or Quicksliver. In the end it is about a celebration of comic books and their the characters that we love. In a sense the plot of the two brothers with two waring universes is very symbolic of the competition between DC and Marvel which gives the comic an extra layer.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the two comic universes come together in one comic.
A must read because it is fun and because it is a celebration of both Marvel and DC and superhero comics in general.

Nowhere near as good as JLA/Avengers. If you want to read a Marvel/DC crossover, I'd recommend that one rather than this one. Although I did like the fight between Namor and Aquaman.

This was such a fun read! Not much of a storyline, but the action and the artwork made up for that. The coloring in this series is absolutely stunning.
