What about all access volumes 1 thru 4
Sadly, that it outside the scope of this site – I only include comics reprinted in collected form.
I’m confused lol.. Isn’t it part of the amalgam universe? Or is it newer? I read the one where the brothers were becoming aware of eachother.. Then the heroes had to battle for their universe etc.. That’s how i got into it.. Then i found silver surfer and GL unholy alliance.. I had no idea there was more to the amalgam universe besides the vs battles.. So I’m trying to read the whole thing … I’m kinda a comic noob but have gotten super into it the last few years.. So i don’t know a lot of the language i guess what re print and all that means.. Sorry lol
No worries Joshua, we’re here to help. And welcome to the world of comics 🙂
What I mean by reprints is that the original comics are out of print and no longer available in shops except as back-issues. It’s a lot like a newspaper or magazine – you can easily get the current issue, and maybe the one before that, but anything older is only going to be harder to find. There will be some specialty shops, and websites like eBay and such, but aside from that, the comics are hard to find in physical form. (There are a lot of comics becoming available in digital formats these days, many of which are not available any other way – try Comixology and its competitors.)
Because of that, this site concentrates on comics that are available in reprinted form – usually a group of issues collected together in a single book, either paperback or hardcover – because books stay in print longer than comics (due to the way the publishing industry works).
So, in the case of the later Access comics, because they’re not available as either reprints or digital comics, I haven’t listed them on this site.
Does this help?
So, I tried putting the comics in reading order, the comics I tried were both access & unlimited access, DC VS. Marvel #1 – #4, & the amalgam comics, obviously the amalgam starts after #4 of DC VS. Marvel however, does the cross overs/versus & the access comics fit in?
It’s hard to give an exact reading order for this one: the Amalgam Universe comes into being during the events of DC vs Marvel #3, but it is a full timeline with its own history that would, technically, precede the events of the crossover event. In theory, the universe is destroyed in Marvel vs DC #4, but later accounts seem to show it continuing to exist. The All Access and Unlimited Access comics follow the original event, in that order.
