As you might have seen on the collage I posted a few posts ago with my collection of inter-company crossovers, I am a bit obsessed with them at the moment. The quality is generally very poor but there’s something inherently fun about them.

I would like to take this moment to call for a minute of silence to the following crossovers, which might never happen:

Batman vs Spider-Man by Michael Turner for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine

Spider-Man and Spawn by J. Scott Campbell

Spider-Man and Spawn cover by J, Scott Campbell for Wizard

Only piece of art created for the announced but never started Batman / Gen 13 crossover

Batman beating Wolverine commission by John Byrne

Lion-o vs He-Man by Ed McGuinness for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine

Boba Fett vs Deadpool by Ed McGuinness for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine

DC elseworlds Last Man Standing by Arthur Adams

Deadpool and Lobo commission by Reilly Brown

Batman and Deadpool commission by Derek Fridolfs

Wolverine vs Batman by Mike Wieringo for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine

Hellboy vs Spawn by Mike Mignola for the Last Man Standing section of the Wizard magazine

Darkseid vs Thanos commission by Jim Starlin

Except the one with Darkseid and Thanos, of course … It’s already happened!

And, as a bonus, the King wanted to join the party too:

Captain America vs Batman by Jack Kirby

Soooo, to finish off the week of art, how about some Keith Giffen? I wanted to end big and trying to pick a few Kirby pieces would be too heart-breaking. I have loved Giffen’s work since I can remember and his ability to reinvent his style decade after decade is one of the most interesting things to follow in the US comics scene.

I tried to select some unpublished or rare illustrations. Some of them are from http://www.comicartfans.com, which, as always, feels like a trip down the missed opportunities boulevard …

Mr. Giffen, we all like your writing but try to get some art done more regularly, please! And if everything else fails, there’s always Kickstarter!!!
