 DC versus Marvel versus Grasping at straws August 3, 2008
The concept is fantastic. Let's have Marvel's best duke it out against DC's best. The artwork is outstanding as well. However, my biggest complaint is the same as many other readers; the battles are far too short. Plus, some of them end in some sense of confusion. It leaves the reader scratching their head thinking, "So how did he beat him?" or "You're kidding me. He won by doing that??" The Aquaman/Sub-Mariner battle is a perfect example of the latter. The storyline on how this happens gets a little out of control. I don't feel as if there was much thought put into how these two universes were brought together.
 The Biggest Smash-Up of the Century! June 9, 2008
D.C. versus Marvel is like a mindless action film with explosions. You don't need too much depth for it to have great quality. This graphic novel is just amazing great fun. I was really shocked to see what the writers came up with and the big twist threw me backwards.....sideways! I don't want to spoil things for future readers, but you will be wanting to read the continuation.
I thought the series was just going to have one on one brawls with no plot throughout the whole story, but Marz, David, and Jurgens REALLY pushed their imagination to the limit. They are great writers and I was very very impressed. I hope Hollywood never tries to adapt this story to film because it really could never work. This is a story that will always stay famous to fans on ink and paper. Prepare for an amazing trip with this comic series. No one could have predicted the outcome.
 Disapointing read April 8, 2008
Disappointing overall. The almagam universe was the most interesting idea and was touched on too brief like everything else in this book. The amalgam series alone is far better than this effort and I would not waste time purchasing this book. Try the amalgam trades and also try JLA / Avengers - that book is far better and keeps all characters in 'character'.
 Contrived and biased March 22, 2008
Attempting to answer the heated DC v Marvel debate, the artwork is the only reason this book gets 2 stars in this review. I'm sorry, but the writers gave way too much favour to the Marvel stars, where obvious DC heavyweights lost to their Marvel "counterparts". (((SPOILER))) How is Storm able to withstand a kick to the head from Wonder Woman????? And even if Spidey is a worldwide favourite...come on Superboy could break Spiderman in half!(((SPOILER)))
Other than the obvious Marvel bias, the story premise is very thin as if no effort was taken in dreaming up the reason why the superheroes would be fighting each other.
If you skip this book, you aren't missing much...

Hello Everyone
I've just finished reading DC Vs Marvel I and I have to be honest, It totally sucked and made zero sense. The entire story was idiotic and boring to the tee. I mean the fights between the two different superhero factions were boring especially Wonder Women Vs Storm. I have already forgotten if Thor fought anyone in this issue. When I was a kid certain comics were so great that I must have spent countless of hours re-reading each issue, this comic I already tossed it in the closet. What were they thinking? Even the Characters looked different, Batman and Captain America looked off... What a shame, I hope they pay closer attention if they ever decide to make a Superhero movie involving both comics.
