2025 will definitely go down in history as the year Marvel and DC started to play nice again. The two publishers recently collaborated on Deadpool/Batman #1, with Batman/Deadpool #1 to follow later this month. We also recently learned that the two are developing a pair of Superman/Spider-Man crossovers for release in 2026. But that's not all.
Today, Marvel and DC each released a new crossover comic on their respective digital comics platforms. Marvel Unlimited subscribers can now read Thor/SHAZAM! by writer Al Ewing, artist Jethro Morales, and cover artist Martín Cóccolo. Meanwhile, DC Universe Infinite subscribers can read The Flash/Fantastic Four by writer Jeremy Adams and artist Adrián Gutiérrez. Both stories are also notable for being presented in a vertical scroll format.
Marvel's official description of Thor/SHAZAM! teases, "The might of Thor! The power of Shazam! Marvel and DC bring the thunder to Infinity Comics in a never-before-seen adventure! When a familiar face threatens to usurp the magic of the Marvel and DC universes, will Donald Blake and Billy Batson recover their powers in time to stop them?"
DC's official description of The Flash/Fantastic Four teases, "In The Flash/Fantastic Four, available now, exclusively from DC on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE, Barry Allen and the Fantastic Four tear through the Speed Force, encountering heroes and villains across time in a bid to stop Gorilla Grodd’s quest for mental domination. Written by Jeremy Adams, with art by Adrián Gutiérrez and colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., this DC GO! webcomic is a high-speed, high-stakes DC/Marvel crossover adventure."
Thor/SHAZAM! is available to read now on Marvel Unlimited, while The Flash/Fantastic Four is available on DC Universe Infinite. Current subscribers of each platform will be emailed exclusive codes for 30-day free trials of the other platform.
