Mapache more irreverent than Marvel joins the most severe DC troops, with chaotic results
When it seemed impossible to see a cross between Marvel and DC, The two publishers have broken more than two decades of editorial silence to give life to one of those stories that are already making noise among the fans. In Marvel/DC: Deadpool/Batman #1The surprise does not come so much from the protagonists of the title, but of an unexpected guest: Rocket Raccoon who transports a green lantern ring. Yes, you read well.
The famous Mapche Mapche del Mapche Galaxy GuardiansTransformed into a phenomenon in cinema thanks to James Gunn and Bradley Cooper, it is now in the DC universe with a role that, at first glance, seems crazy as promising. However, your experience in Green lantern body It shows that not all heroes can adapt to the rigid rules of the cosmic body.
Green lantern rocket rocket
This unusual “cultural exchange” is signed Al Ewing In the script e Dam preserves In pencils. The idea is simple: the guardians of the universe and the guardians of the galaxy decide to share the resources and Rocket has won an electric ring. But from the first minute it is clear that the discipline and the rules are not theirs.
His lifestyle, based on sarcasm, improvisation and, above all, violence, collide with the lanterns code. Rocket dares even to eliminate his first day of service sinestroA movement that leaves the guardians of the universe in shock and seals its destiny as the worst recruit that has crossed or.
A crossover that revives old battles
This new event brings memories of the 90s, when miniseries like it Marvel vs DC or Jla/Avengers They faced the greatest heroes of every home. The last time we saw something similar was in 2003, and since then it seemed that the editorial rivalry has closed any possibility of collaboration. Now, with a change that changes and new creative addresses, the alliance is reborn again, starting from this Deadpool/Batman which already prepares its continuation Batman/Deadpool.
The crossover does not remain there. Hal Jordan also crosses the side And he joins the guardians of the galaxy, who does nothing but worsen things. The appearance of melted parallax with the infinite glovelete puts on the table that this clash of universes not only a humorous gag, but also a large -scale threat.
When the Guardians do not adapt
The missile experiment as green lantern is fun, but it also reveals what incompatible that both cosmic teams are. While the lanterns follow a rigid code of intergalactic justice, the guardians of the galaxy survive in chaos, without fear of dirtying their hands. The clash was inevitable and the rocket, with its explosive character, soon became a big problem of an ally.
Even so, the proposal has an undeniable attraction: see characters who should never share a cartoon that interacts under the same editorial roof. Although his passage through the Green Lantern Corps is a failureRocket confirms the reason why he is one of the most charismatic characters in the Marvel catalog, even when everything goes wrong.
A glorious failure
The truth is that, in addition to the joke, the story underlines the essential differences between the two universes. Rocket shines on the MCU As an essential part of the guardians, but in the world of DC their style is too anarchist. His stage as a green lantern is not only short, but ends with the guardians of the universe who ask them to return it as soon as possible.
And even so, there is the magic of this type of experiments: open debates, plays with impossible fans and reminds that, although rare, the Marvel/DC crosses continue to have a unique charm.
