Comic Books

  • Alpha Gods has the Extra Humans. "Extra human" being an umbrella term that covers cyborgs, ghosts, aliens, mutants, lycanthropes and several others.
  • Astro City, unsurprisingly for a superhero reconstruction, has time travelers, vampires, ghosts, robots, living cartoon characters, reptilian monsters, aliens, storm elementals and gorillas with the heads of ants.
  • The CVO: Covert Vampiric Operations series has this at its core. The titular squad of vampires fights all sorts of supernatural threats. In fact, the only major human member of CVO is their boss Overmars, whose orders the vampires follow without question (most of the time). Overmars's Number Two is an erudite demon named Nikodemus (who looks a little weird, being all red with large horns while wearing a suit). Their scientific expert is a nerdy zombie (who hasn't lost his mind or gained a taste for human flesh). In later issues, they get two more operatives, one of which is a human Genius Bruiser the size of a defensive lineman and a Japanese katana-wielding girl who can turn into a snake-like creature complete with Sssssnake Talk. Their normal enemies include everything from zombies and demons to aliens and Eldritch Abominations. They also have Magitek called Artillica, which appears to be the focus of many issues.
  • The series lends itself to a number of crossovers. The Infestation arc starts with a new type of zombie with a Hive Mind, capable of infecting any living or mechanical being, which infects one of the CVO vampires and uses her to open portals to four other realities. Conveniently, these realities turn out to be those with which we are familiar: Star Trek, Transformers, Ghostbusters, and G.I. Joe. In each reality, our favorite characters have to fight off zombie infections, which take different forms in each world. So if you've ever asked yourself, What If? Kirk found himself on a planet full of zombies, or what if you had a zombie infection spread to giant robots requiring Optimus Prime to ally with Megatron, then this series is for you.
  • Following this, there's the Infestation: Outbreak mini-arc, which has aliens allying with demons to escape from the first circle of Hell and invade Earth. The CVO team requires the help of the little grey alien Archibald from the Groom Lake series (apparently, the guy leading the invasion is his drunk uncle Ng, who managed to escape from the facility).
  • Finally, they find out that the aliens and demons weren't invading. They were trying to escape an invasion of their own realm by the Elder Gods. H. P. Lovecraft is mentioned to have been under control from an Elder God when he wrote his Cthulhu Mythos before a member of a secret society dedicated to keeping the Elder Gods locked away poisoned him. Oh, and this once again causes rips in dimensions, forcing other realities to deal with the Elder Gods as well: G.I. Joe, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
  • DC Comics is not much different. It has Greek and Roman gods, wizards, Faeries, aliens, Dinosaur Island, sword-and-sorcery tales, Doc Savage, the guy from Gladiator (the superhuman novel, not the anachronistic movie), The Shadow, ten different versions of Atlantis, mind-controlling worms, pre-human civilizations, sentient robots, Ancient Astronauts, Ambush Bug, Flex Mentallo, metafiction, the Green Lantern Corps, normal guys with arrows and boomerangs who can defeat Superman and The Flash, and on and on and on. There was also mention, in-universe, of there being full-scale battles fought between the angelic hosts of Heaven and the more villainous aspects of the Hindu pantheon at some point.
  • The Sandman (1989): Many of the mythological creatures and gods are explained as products of human dreams, but there are some that exist independently of belief like the titular character and his siblings. It helps that it's split off from (and may be part of, depending on how convenient it is for a given storyline) The DCU.
  • De Rode Ridder has seen our hero Johan fight monsters from The Bible, Norse Mythology, Greek Mythology, Japanese Mythology, Slavic Mythology and several other sources. He was once a knight of the round table, was trained by samurai and ninja when he explored Nippon and counts Merlin and Lancelot as his closest friends. A healthy dose of Tolkien sauce is added for flavor as well.
  • "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec", by Jaques Tardi, features crazy scientists, demonic cults, Dinosaurs brought to life, a Neanderthal, Mummies (brought back to life), dead people brought back to life, and it is linked to WWII and the Titanic. You might not believe it by reading this, but it does make sense in context.
  • Fables draws upon this, however averts it with the different fables being able to interact with each other.
  • Carla Speed-McNeil describes Finder as "aboriginal sci-fi", set in a world of feathered dinosaurs, genetically engineered centaurs, a race of anthropomorphic lionesses that "crowns" their kings with a metamorphic virus, schools where you can major in prostitution, domed cities based on lost technology, a blind archaeology professor who wears prosthetic legs similar to an ostrich's, mechanical television kudzu, and a clan that appears to be all female and resembles Marlene Dietrich. Oh, and magic is real (albeit not as glamorous as in other worlds.) The whole thing may or may not be set on an Earth of the far-flung future, as archaeologists have dug up films like "Night Of The Hunter" and "The Producers".
  • The comic Gold Digger is a great example of this trope, with a few flavors of aliens, were-creatures, dragons, leprechauns, elves, trolls, genetically engineered races, races descended from advanced robots, a time traveling super-intelligent dog, and a dozen other things. Quite often their origins are related but it never nears the level of a Meta Origin.
  • Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics stitch together Nazis, mad scientists, mythical monsters and folklore from all over the world (he used to be part of the Legend-verse, which included Frank Miller's The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot, Art Adams' Monkeyman And O'Brien, John Byrne's Danger Unlimited and Babe, and Mike Allred's Madman.)
  • iZombie has the titular zombie, a ghost, a group of vampires, and a were-terrier. And this is all in the first two issues.
  • The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novels incorporate absolutely anything Alan Moore can cram into a panel and not get sued over. However, they all do relate to a certain period of History, or Literary History. He does keep a coherence.
  • In DC Comics' Looney Tunes title, Lola Bunny delivers pizzas to ancient gods, Killer Robots, Fish People, and other unusual customers.
  • Mampato involves time travel, and there are dinosaurs, green and gray aliens, Greek gods who turn out to be Sufficiently Advanced Aliens), Nordic gods (probably), mythological creatures such as centaurs and harpies (which turn out to be genetic experiments) , very nice and harmless lizard people, plant-people, King Arthur and Merlin, real magic, djinns, fairies and goblins, Psychic Powers, an albino telepath mutant girl of the 40th century who is the protagonist's almost-girlfriend, etc, etc.
  • The Marvel Universe is undoubtedly a Fantasy Kitchen Sink, and is quite happy to have Iron Man beat up on Loki, or have the Silver Surfer take on Dracula, if it feels it'll make a good story. Conan the Barbarian, Transformers, Godzilla, and Zoids all used to be part of the Marvel Universe and elements from those series are still floating around occasionally bumping into the Incredible Hulk, Ghost Rider, or the Fantastic Four. Marvel's very first character was Namor, the New York City-hating king of Atlantis, and his nemesis was a fire-shooting android. While characters from completely different genres usually don't mix, and lighter series don't usually cross over with the grimmer ones, nothing is ever off limits.
  • Runaways has particular fun with this, with the original main villain group consisting of two wizards, two mutants, two aliens, two time travelers, two mad scientists, and two Badass Normal crime bosses. By design.
  • Lampshaded in issue #4 of the miniseries Wisdom.Maureen Raven: Oh, for God's sake, the I Ching is true? Is there anything that isn't true?
  • Kieron Gillen's Journey into Mystery (Gillen) and Young Avengers also have fun with this. In the former, as well as Norse mythology, Loki teams up with the Son of Satan, fights Fear Lords, goes on a wetwork mission in Otherworld to deal with British mythology, encounters the New Mutants, and regularly crosses paths with Mephisto. The latter continues his story, now teaming him up with humanoid aliens, human mutants, dimension hopping street kid, and a girl with a bow, while the main plot revolves around one of the kids' destiny as the Demiurge, the being destined to 're-write the rules of reality and magic'.
  • Discussed in The Ultimates (2002). Hawkeye points that he started with Fury as just a regular spy agency. Now they are sending thunder gods against aliens, and telling Captain freakin' America what to do. What can be cooler than that?
  • Pathfinder: Worldscape takes place in an alternate dimension that draws beings from all over The Multiverse and as a result its home to pre-historic barbarians, jungle heroes, immortal humans, adventurers from fantasy worlds, elves, dwarves, Martians, evil sorcerers, demigods, snake-people and so forth. This also includes individuals from all over Earth history like Confederate soldiers, Romans, Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory.
  • Purgatori from Chaos! Comics starts off as a human angel hybrid living in ancient Egypt who gets bit by a vampire and becomes...something not a vampire. She meets demons, monster clowns, death spirits, and the devil, all to be expected but not next to Norse gods.
  • Requiem Vampire Knight takes place in a hell-like dimension where people on Earth reincarnate as different kinds of monsters depending on their kinds of sins: the most despicable of all become vampires (the ruling elite), hypocrites become ghouls, religious fanatics are werewolves, rapists are centaurs, imperialists are lizard men, evil scientists are mummies and so forth. What happens to people who did evil by accident? They become zombies, while those victimized by vampires in life also become trapped in this world as tortured spirits. Since time is non-linear, beings from Earth's distant future can also find their way into this realm such as mutants from 23rd Century London.
  • No matter what the incarnation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lives and breathes this trope. During its formative period, the original Mirage Comic had already established a universe with ninjas, aliens, mutants, time travel, demons, and super-heroes. While they were initially kept somewhat separate, they began interacting following a Broken Masquerade moment in the fourth volume of the comic book. The fifth season finale of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), for example, involved superheroes, government agents and ninjas fighting against ancient Japanese demons and their zombie army.
  • In the IDW Comics continuity, our heroes are actually ninjas reincarnated as mutants created using a combination of human and alien technology. They also time-travel and team up with Batman on three separate occassions. Prior the to Armaggeddon Game storyline, the supernatural and the technological were kept mostly separate (save for the occassional magic-wielding mutant).
  • Vampirella has demons under the mad god Chaos, Aztec and Egyptian deities, Arabic djinn, and more. Notably, as she was a horror comic created in 1969 that Vampirella actually predates a lot of other more mainstream comics in mixing these elements in a serious fashion.
