Stuff like DNAgents/Teen Titans, or fake Avengers in JLA at the same time as the fake JLA were in the Avengers.
List those.
But what I really came to talk about: Roy Thomas says the "Rutland" sequence of stories, which weaved back and forth between Marvel and DC in the early to mid-70s also showed up in Archie comics. Anyone know anything about that?

In issue #19 of the 70s Nova series, there is a one page cameo of a student named Wally at Rich's high school, Rich overhears Wally complaining about a guy named Barry always slowing him down...the kid is a ginge rand is obviously meant to be Wally West as an easter egg type cross-company cross-over.

Personally, I don't like this concept and having seen the Hyperclan terminated Wolverine and Doctor Doom in a panel that I will be showing in a few minutes from now is a poor example of one company disrespecting another that I don't care at all.  If I were Marvel Comics in this situation - I would complain to DC Comics for doing this and I often wonder why in the world that DC Comics did this in the first place and I would like to have an answer for this poor taste of a panel that I just shared with all of you here. That's my 2 cents worth! |

The Kirbyverse. Attilan (and the idea of Avengers) appeared in issue 1 of Captain America in 1941. It was later developed in Thor, and elsewhere.  Thor's Ragnarok led directly to the New Gods. Recognise that helmet?  Orion's son was Captain Victory. The whole epic, from 1941 to 1984, was a single story. And then there's Mantis...  After leaving Marvel Comics in the 1970s, Englehart had Mantis appear in DC Comics' Justice League of America (#142, 1977), where she was called Willow. Asked where she came from, Willow replied, "This one has come from a place she must not name, to reach a place no man must know." (Mantis refers to herself as "this one"). After two issues, she left to go give birth. In the Eclipse Comics series Scorpio Rose (#2, 1983) she called herself Lorelei. By that time, she had given birth to a son. What would have been issue #3, a "lost" Lorelei/Scorpio Rose story, was later published in Coyote Collection #1 from Image Comics. Lorelei is later name-dropped in Englehart's 2010 novel The Long Man (page 355, mass market paperback edition). As Mantis she is back at Marvel. |

Also Englehart: this was originally written as a Superman/Creeper team-up:  |

My favourite example of this kind of thing is still Marvel's Invaders battling a group called the Crusaders (who were clearly patterned after DC's Freedom Fighters) in a two part story that ran at the exact same time that DC's Freedom Fighters were battling a group called the Crusaders (who were clearly patterned after Marvel's Invaders).   For the record: Marvel's Crusaders were the Spirit of '76 (Uncle Sam), Ghost Girl (Phantom Lady), Captain Wings (Black Condor), Thunderfist (Human Bomb), Dyna-Mite (Doll Man) and Tommy Lightning (who should logically have been the Ray, though his name sounds more like it was inspired by Johnny Thunder). DC's Crusaders, who introduced themselves above, were a little less subtle. |

Anyone remember the mysterious extradimensional speedster who turned up in Marvel's Quasar in te 90s, claiming to be amnesiac? The closest he could come to remembering his own name was "something like...Buried Alien?"  |

Anyone know anything about that? I don't know about Archie comics, but there was a Gold Key Rutland tie-in in the Occult Files of Doctor Spektor #18 by Don Glut in 1975, with Tom Fagan appearing under the name Thomas Sikes. Thunder Bunny #5 was another Rutland based issue.  |
