Has anyone chosen Batman/Sherlock Holmes from Detective #572? I didn’t much care for the story, but seeing these two icons meet (and drawn by Alan Davis, no less) was quite a momentous event. Someone did, I'm pretty sure, forget which day it was. I must admit that I find it hard to believe any such story would be likely to do justice to Holmes, knowing how superhero comics tend to work. But I haven't read it, so maybe I'm being unduly suspicious. |

When this was announced, I didn't really want to go fishing into my long boxes and look for crossovers, so I stuck with minis and one-shots from the 80s to 00s. Some issues did come to mind: Madman Comics #7 (w/Big Guy & Rusty the Robot) Gen13 #13, parts A,B,C (Gen13 meets pretty much comicdom) Superman/Ali Gen13/Fantastic Four (great Kevin Maguire art) Catwoman/Vampirella Planetary/Batman The Authority vs Lobo The one that I wanted to put on there,but it came out in 2010: Hellboy/Beats of Burden  |

I pretty much hit all of mine when I did my daily thoughts.
One of the few I didn't think of that I didn't hit in those posts was Dr. Thirteen: Architecture and Morality.

I was surprised that Superman / Ali didn’t make someone’s list.

My original #2 had to get cut because it came out in 2010 - Jughead and Sabrina in Jughead #200.

There's also the queztion of teamups you wish had happened but never did - or did we have a thread for that once? Seems like we migh thave.
Or characters you think have never had a good team up or one that was done right - like the Eternals, for me, or the New Gods.
Or the worst you can think of - like Iron Man and Sersi in Gaiman's Eternals (again, IMO, as always).

My near-miss team-ups besides Marvel Two-In-One #50 included Super-Team Family #11 (it just really wasn't such a good story though it was cool to see Alan Weiss' Charlie's Angels type rendition of Supergirl), and the Showcases with Doctor Fate and Hour Man (because I only ever had one of the two issues, same with Star Man & Black Canary in Brave & Bold). I think I considered the first Black Cat and Mockingbird stories with Spider-Man, but they didn't seem quite team-up enough. I wanted two characters working together for at least around a third of the story.

I pretty much hit all of mine when I did my daily thoughts. Same here. But if I could add some, I think Namor/Daredevil team-ups would have been on the list. And while this doesn't count as a near-miss as it's too recent, the Tarzan/POTA and Star Trek/POTA crossovers would have made my list had they been published in 2009 or earlier. |

Here's one I was considering: Julius Caesar, Mark Antony (here "Marc"), the Conspirators, Abe Lincoln, Mary Todd Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, and Jimmy Olsen Jimmy Olsen #110 (1968) Oh, that Swan-Klein art! Story by Jim Shooter.   |

And I was also considering this one, Atom and Henry Fielding. Atom #21 (1965) I only read this issue a few years ago as an adult. As I have mentioned before I was a huge Albert Finney fan and over the years I've seen Tom Jones a gazillion times (not to mention I've read the novel), so I got a kick out of seeing Fielding here. Art by Kane/Greene, story by Fox.  |
