CB Cebulski: In our careers exactly, there’s always that Marvel-DC rivalry that people talk about, but at its core, we’re fans of each other’s work. There’s mutual respect on the editorial and creative level, and we really enjoyed working together. This was a really good project to have done, but I think there’s another white whale; we got the omnibuses out, but maybe there’s another white whale we haven’t seen for 20 years or so?

Marie Javins: I’m trying to figure out what you could possibly be talking about. the only other white whale I can think…. ohhhh…. should we do that?

CB Cebulski: Should we?

Marie Javins: Should we ask them?

CB Cebulski: What do you think? Another crossover, a modern crossover. Are you up for it? What do you think?

[There is an appreciative cheer from the retailers]

CB Cebulski: I guess the retailers voted, so I guess we have no choice but to do this, Marie.

Marie Javins: Right, can I make more fart joke comics as part of this?

CB Cebulski: I don’t think that that’s exactly what they were talking about.

Marie Javins: But I brought the swatches. I brought the swatches from the printer, you can smell it. You can come and rub and smell it. I’ve got them right here.

CB Cebulski: Well, I don’t know that’s what their applause was about. I think they’re talking about a Marvel/DC DC/Marvel crossover in… can we get it done in 2025?

Marie Javins: That’s tight, but I guess we could, like, later this year?

CB Cebulski: I guess so, 2025, we got, we got what, ten months to go? I think we could put together some creators and some character ideas and do something.

Marie Javins: But even if I start right now, it’s gonna be… later. You’re all right. [To audience] I already know he secretly started you know, mine might be a little later, but they don’t have to be the exact same time.

CB Cebulski: In all seriousness, folks, We are doing two crossovers, two one-shots, Marvel/DC, and DC/Marvel.

Marie Javins: He’s going to do the Marvel/DC one… Can we tell them anything else? Do you think it’s okay if I tell them that it’s Bat-Mite2/Punisher?

CB Cebulski: I don’t think we’ve gotten that far yet. I wouldn’t want to lie to them if that’s not what we’re doing, which I don’t think we are

Marie Javins: I think it sounds good.
