We’re diving into the most mischievous multiversal mayhem! We begin with the golden age debut of DC’s Mr. Mxyzptlk and Marvel’s Impossible Man’s first Fantastic appearance, then head into the wild 1997 crossover where the two Imps trade universes—and trouble—for Superman and Silver Surfer. Along the way we explore the legacy of comic pranksters, George Pérez’s Marvel/DC legacy, and the lineage of transdimensional trickery. We wrap with speculation about 2025’s upcoming Marvel/DC crossover and ask: are Imps the ultimate fourth-wall breakers?
