Armageddon 2001 happened just after I got into American comics, back when I was a teenager so I really dug that. I still like some of the concepts that were played with.
That happened during the Justice League: Breakdowns story that ran between the pages of J.L.A., J.L.E., and peripherally J.L.I.Q. That gave Keith Giffen space to write one long story featuring pretty much all the characters that he'd made us care about during the previous 4 and a half years. It got a bit muddled as the story reached its conclusion, as these things tend to do, but it was a good finale and a fitting end to the Bwa-Ha-Ha years. "L-Ron....stop bothering the ducks"
Oh, and intercompany crossovers? I'm going to get the piss taken out of me for this but Dredd vs Aliens: Incubus was a belter. There was no need to waste time working out how the characters could meet, just straight into the story which was an action caper as strong as any thriller that John Wagner, Andy Diggle, or Henry Flint have worked on.
And come on, isn't there a bit of you that rather likes the idea of Dredd hunting a single Alien through a hospital, hordes of the buggers attacking the Grand Hall of Justice whilst Hershey and Giant defend, and a finale that sees Dredd take on the Queen and a shed load of face huggers? It doesn't pretend to be deep or meaningful, it's a sci-fi action story, and all the better for embracing the fun to be had. |
