I read this on DC Universe, and it was decent. The art was a bit generic, but more detailed than is usual for a digital comic book. Maybe it was created for print, and they're just running it online first for the promotion. (Six-month discount on DC Universe Infinite or Marvel Unlimited.)
The first question we old vets always have is, "How do these characters meet?" The answer is, apparently, "Don't worry about it." They all seem to be on the same world, only the Marvel people haven't met the DC people. That's a plus for the writer (and new readers) as the expositional dialogue as to the who and the what comes naturally, as the characters explain themselves to each other.
All in all, a fun little story. Here's the PR:
DC Reveals New The Flash/Fantastic Four Crossover DC GO! Webcomic
The Flash/Fantastic Four, a DC GO! crossover one-shot webcomic from DC by Jeremy Adams and Adrián Gutiérrez, is available now, exclusively on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE
Thor/Shazam!, an Infinity Comics crossover one-shot webcomic from Marvel by Al Ewing and Jethro Morales, is available now, exclusively on Marvel Unlimited
DC and Marvel Offer DC UNIVERSE INFINITE and Marvel Unlimited Free Subscription Trials to Subscribers
Burbank, CA— November 12, 2025 — DC Comics and Marvel Comics are charging into the digital frontier with a bold new phase of the historic DC/Marvel crossover initiative that began earlier this year with the announcement and subsequent publication of Batman/Deadpool #1 by DC (November 19) and Deadpool/Batman #1 by Marvel (September 17).
The publishers today debuted two new crossover one-shot webcomics, available exclusively on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE (“DCUI”) and Marvel Unlimited. DC is offering The Flash/Fantastic Four on DCUI as part of the DC GO! imprint, while Marvel is offering a Thor/Shazam! Infinity Comics story on Marvel Unlimited. Together, these webcomics kick off a new wave of DC/Marvel digital-first crossover stories. Each webcomic will be free-to-read, with registration, for 30 days before moving behind their respective paywalls, and both DC and Marvel are releasing these new stories formatted for vertical scroll.
In The Flash/Fantastic Four, available now, exclusively from DC on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE, Barry Allen and the Fantastic Four tear through the Speed Force, encountering heroes and villains across time in a bid to stop Gorilla Grodd’s quest for mental domination. Written by Jeremy Adams, with art by Adrián Gutiérrez and colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr., this DC GO! webcomic is a high-speed, high-stakes DC/Marvel crossover adventure.
Marvel’s brand-new Thor/Shazam! Infinity Comics story, written by Al Ewing and drawn by Jethro Morales, is available now exclusively on Marvel Unlimited. The might of Thor! The power of Shazam! Marvel and DC bring the thunder to Infinity Comics in a never-before-seen adventure! When a familiar face threatens to usurp the magic of the Marvel and DC universes, will Donald Blake and Billy Batson recover their powers in time to stop them?
Two more crossover webcomics, one from each publisher, are slated for digital-first vertical-scroll releases in 2026. Details on these webcomics will be revealed in the coming months.

That's honestly my favorite way of handling this stuff. If there's interdimensional shenanigans, that's fine (and would work with characters like the Flash and Fantastic Four), but I usually feel like it's better if the everyone assumes the characters are part of the same world. Why start a Green Arrow story with someone stepping out of a dimensional portal, when the best Green Arrow stories have nothing to do with that sort of thing? That's just starting with one hand tied behind your back.
As you'd expect, Marvel got a crossover to match DC's. Theirs is Thor/Shazam, but I canceled Marvel Unlimited last year in a spasm of thrift. But here's the press release:
