I noticed in our news feed that they're making a Planet of the Apes / King Kong crossover comic.

Comics can get all sorts of cool crossover treatments, like Evil Dead meets Darkman / Re-Animator, etc.
I know @smerd read a lot of PotA comics for last month's challenge. My question is more like multiple questions. Kinda drunk and rambling here, so bear with me...
Are the Planet of the Apes comics good?
What are your favorite comics?
Do you like the cross-overs?
I also saw they're doing a Zombi 2 comic sequel.

I've always enjoyed crossovers and mash-ups. Phillip Jose Farmer has created a whole universe and written many fun books like that including biographies of both Tarzan and Doc Savage as well as the Riverworld series. Kim Newman's Anno Dracula books involve a great number of historical and fictional characters and are a great read. In comics, Alan Moore did a terrific mash-up with his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. His Tom Strong comics are sort of a mash-up of Doc Savage with several other pulp and sci/fi heroes. All great stuff. Most of Alan Moore's writing actually references a lot of pop culture heroes & villains.
I would love to someday create a mash-up of characters from both completely unrelated Burroughs - Edgar Rice & William S. Burroughs. Naked Lunch meets John Carter of Mars. But I'm too busy so hopefully someone else will get the same idea and create it before I die. And not suck at it.
