5.Marvel vs DC this includes JLA vs Avengers (Dream fight over load) Silver Surfer vs Green Lantern Thor Vs Superman Batman vs Cap. Hawkeye vs Green arrow . Avengers vs superman etc...

4.Batman/Spawn (Nuff said)

3.Infinite Crisis (Seriously got me into DC more, Brought batman to his Wits end. and Found new Characters to read into.)

2. Infinity Gauntlet ( Made me rethink power in a comic period. Perfect Villain with the perfect group of heroes to take him on personally my favorite marvel story.)

1. The Marvel Events Civil War Secret Invasion,Dark Reign (hated Siege) messiah war, Second coming... with the new X force, Heroic Age - Fear Itself Schism..... Total Sucker for them ,but they do need to slow down with them asap

Hey, you guys should check out Red Rum-18's gallery on deviantart, where he's done a revamp of Amalgam comics. And I have to say that the characters he made out of the mergers he decided on are a little more...stable than the original ones.

Of those major crossovers I really loved Age of Apocalypse & Marvel Vs DC. Of the non-major crossovers I would pick as my favorites the following series; Batman/Aliens, Batman versus Predator, Superman Vs. Aliens, Robocop versus The Terminator, & Batman/Judge Dredd.

that's so awesome that amalgam is on the list!

Age of Apocalypse, Identity Crisis, DC One Million and The Infinity Gaunlet are EVENTS, not crossovers (a storyline combining characters or settings from separate fictional properties)...

As for my list: The Uncanny X-Men/The New Teen Titans, Hack/Slash VS the Reanimator, Punisher/Batman, Batman/Hellboy/Starman, and Planetary/Batman, with an honorable mention to WildC.A.T.S./X-Men series.

The only really good One Million issue was Lobo :-)

The whole Amalgam/Marvel Vs. DC was pretty epic. No other crossover since then as been that fun in my eyes. Good, sure. But fun as that? Nothing else compared to that!

I would vote for AoA, it was amazing, and I read it again recently, still great....I liked House of M too, I guess I like seeing the different reality type stuff.

Actually AoA, Identity Crises, etc... are crossovers, anytime characters branch through several different titles it is considered a crossover. You just thinking of brand crossovers, which are cool, but you have many Marvel Crossovers, and even X-Overs for the X-Men titles and spinoffs.

AoA was an X-Men thing, Identity was a Justice League thing... using that logic, almost every single comic book since the late 80s is a crossover... how can you call that crossover when these characters are meant to exist in the context of a same universe? I might go as far as Uncanny X-Force meeting AoA X-Men is a crossover, but X-Men VS Fantastic Four was an event, not a crossover.

Within the comic book context, event refers to a special plot in the editorial line that moves in the canon of many titles, like Marvel ever since Avengers Disassembled. In exchange, crossover means that the characters cross over to another another universe with different context. The words alone should be enough to discern the two, you don't have to be an etymology PhD.

Words have a meaning, and the purpose of that is to have a clear concept of the idea you want to communicate, just like theory is not the same as hypothesis, comic book is not the same as graphic novel, crossover is not the same as event.

the Infinity War, Heroes Reborn, Dc Infinite Crisis( the one where Superboy prime made his debut), Villains United, Avengers vs the Justice League, Secret Invasion, the storyline where Loki discovers a seventh Infinity Gem in the Ultraverse, and the Blackest Night.

'Civil War' was a good crossover, IMHO.

I'm surprised Avengers/JLA didn't make the cut. Personally, my favorite crossover was Lobo/Mask.

crossovers rock! I loved the blackest night

I find it funny that on another list, Identity Crisis is considered one of Dc's top ten worst. The list complained that it was too dark and killed off characters just for the sake of shock value. Just goes to show you you can't please everyone.
