I didn't include it, but the psychic tells Dredd that the Predator was hurt and dying, on Earth for one last hunt and an honorable death. It also knew that the gun would explode. And before it died, it took out a few of Dredd's men and two heavy armor mech units. So, yeah, evenly matched!

Oh I know full well those were real archers shooting at Mifune and every gesuture was him showing which way to shoot. I will never not :spergin: about my adoration for Mifune and Kurosawa so don't even get me started.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

The first major event, I believe. There were small crossovers here and there. One between Spiderman and Batman is referenced by the Joker.
Wonder Woman first picked up the hammer in MvDC issue 2 and turned into a bad Skyrim mod. Then she's set against Storm in issue 3...

Apparently, Thor never read the fine print on his hammer. It clearly says, "...if HE be worthy..." Women are exempted from having to be worthy to wield the power of Thor. Lawyered.

At the end of MvsDC the hammer was shown to now say "If He or She Be Worthy". Not that it stuck.

Those fights were decided by fan vote, so most of them are pretty odd, like Wolverine beating Lobo. That one was apparently such a head twister for the writers that it happened entirely of panel.

I mean, I get that you shouldn't expect too much of a fan showdown and that Lobo is a joke character anyway, but if actually do fanservice like this, you should actually put enough effort into it that the fans end up really enjoying it. A mindless beatdown without rhyme or reason isn't exactly something that will be remembered forever. Compared, for example, with the excellent JLA/Avengers, which was so good, not only is it fondly remembered by fans, it actual stayed in continuity for quite some time (At least for pre-52 DC).

edit: Huh, this isn't entirely correct, while some battles, like Wolverine v.s Lobo were determined by votes, Wonder Woman vs. Storm apparently wasn't. That makes it even dumber.

That wiki lists Storm and Wonder Woman as a fan battle, and I'm sure it was. While I'm open to correction on this, I remember the fan vote card had five fights on it, with the fifth voting fight being Batman and Captain America.
From memory Batman and Superman won their polls, but the Marvel guys won the other three bouts. (Due to popularity and all.) It also allowed Marvel to run ad campaigns afterwards saying that they won (but had a good time doing so.)

As for JLAvengers, it's a good story, but it's not fondly remembered by all fans. I can remember the absolute fan outrage by many Marvel fans over what they felt was a selling out by Kurt Busiek and a chumping out of Marvel characters*. (There were some who swore up and down that he "sold out" out the Marvel side so that he would get the high profile job of writing Justice League afterwards.) The Alvaro and Comic Book Resources boards were particularly toxic for a long while after those issues came out.

I should point out that I liked the story, and it does hold up well. But then again I think Marvel/DC is still pretty good in a very goofy, 90's kind of way.

*= It was stuff like "Thor straight up loses to Superman. But Batman and Captain America just decide to team up without getting a similar marquis fight. Galactus is effortlessly crushed by Krona." There was a feeling that all the DC guys were portrayed as stronger/ more domineering than the Marvel guys in all their fights.

The JL alone has GoesFastMan, SuperGoku, PlansForEverythingMan, and Goku-but-telepathic-and-also-a-shapeshifter.

The only thing close that Marvel has on its day-to-day would be Sentry?

Yeah, The Avengers were pretty much chumped out quite recently to Not-The Justice League in New Avengers Vol 3 #20, that is until Strange went all Lovecraft and had Cthulhu eat them.

I was surprised by Not-Dr Fate's alter-ego apparently being Harry Potter, though.

Yeah, I mean I love Marvel to death but the JLA are almost entirely in a weight class above the Avengers.

Anyone who whines about JLA/Avengers is being a big stupid baby. It was easily the best crossover we're ever going to get between the two companies, and treated both sides very fairly without copping to a lot of bullshit.
