Infinity Crusade.

Instead of the Infinity Gauntlet, it features the all-powerful . . . cosmic egg!

Dude, did you read Galactic Storm, all of it.
I ask as at the time the comic world was piking up some awful old toss and this was a bit of a shining light, especially as Marvel were producing 100+ titles and not much quality.
I am actually re reading it now and it kicks much *SQUEE* compared to most Marvel books of the same era.


There are so many bad Marvel crossovers im gonna come back on this one.

Inifnity War itself was not that good, but the crossovers were nothing short of awful, the Moon Knight issues in particular stand out in my mind.

Since Heath brings up Punisher meets Archie and that is not an all Marvel book -

Star Trek the Next Generation meet the X-Men. The plot is so bad and tangle that ultimately the Sentinels and Borg merge into a single threat but instead of the logical appearance where Sentinels get a little Borg hardware on their face, the Sentinels' faces are obscured by three or four Borg standing across their heads.

Well, "crossover" wasn't clearly defined and that book was the first thing to pop in my head when reading the phrase "worst Marvel crossovers."

But if we're sticking to just crossovers within the company, I would have to say Civil War. Mostly because of what it did to the Spider-Man books. Civil War lead directly to "One More Day" which lead to me dropping the Spider-Man books and pretty much all of Marvel.
