A crossover is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story. They can arise from legal agreements between the relevant copyright holders, unofficial efforts by fans, or common corporate ownership.

A crossover story may try to explain its own reason for the crossover ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
