Ya gotta admit - a Star Trek / Planet of the Apes crossover is worth it just to get a story titled “The Primate Directive”.
Darkseid often turned up at the end of Ambush Bug comics, often in unlikely settings, but that was pretty much the joke.
I guess Kiss vs Doctor Doom would have been weirder if they hadn’t already appeared in Howard the Duck. But this one was printed with ink infused with the band members’ actual blood.
Batman v. Elmer Fudd was part of a whole slate of DC/Looney Too s one shots:
The quality was very hit or miss, although the Batman comic was a stand out.
Best cover was definitely this one, though:
I remember reading about this series. I haven’t read any of the comics though.
There was a recent Avengers vs. Aliens that was actually surprisingly good. A dark sci fi superhero story.
Getting back to the OP, there was an issue where the Riverdale gang met the Ramones and went all punk.
I see this issue is included in the Archie Crossover Collection book, along with meetups with Lady Gaga, Michael Strahan, and George Takei.
Probably the strangest crossover I ever read was Marvel Team-up #74, where Spiderman did a crossover with the cast of Saturday Night Live. (Stan Lee was hosting the show. Peter Parker and Mary Jane were in the audience. Some villains attacked for reasons I don’t recall and Spiderman had to suit up and fight them as the show was being performed.)
Marvel’s doing this crossover right now:
The Silver Samurai was there to steal a teleportation ring…and he succeeded, humiliating Spider-Man and Peter in the process. This was during a particularly punishing “nothing goes right for Parker” era.
Indeed. That’s one of the few sites I hit every day. (This one too)

Oh! Written by Tom King… that’s impressive.
He’s a master of “Hmmm, here’s a logical direction for this superhero that no one’s thought of yet.”
His versions of Mr. Miracle and The Vision are intriguing (and he’s the writer on the VisionQuest TV series), and his Human Target graphic novel is brilliant (not to mention beautiful).
