โ€œWeโ€™re going to all corners of the Marvel and DC Universes, and the creators are having an absolute blast finding the unexpected and unexplored connections between these characters,โ€ Editor Mark Basso shared. โ€œWe canโ€™t wait for the fans to experience the same jaw-dropping moments we are! And weโ€™ve got some more secret stories in the works, so keep your eyes peeled for more to be revealed!โ€

โ€œThis has been surreal to say the least!โ€ Zdarsky said. โ€œCaptain America and Wonder Woman are the best their worlds have to offer, both warriors for peace. Getting to explore a dynamic and history between them has been genuinely exciting.”

“Two ICONS meeting for the first time!โ€ Thompson said. โ€œIt’s such an honor for Jeff to get to be Marvel’s ambassador in this crossover story with Krypto. Anyone who loves comics knows how rare it is for DC and Marvel to crossover, so Jeff getting to be part of this historic moment with Krypto, and Gurihiru and I getting to bring that tale to readers… well, sometimes this job is very cool.”
