Questions about some titles...
Norry!
1- Punisher/Archie (huh?)
2- Deathblow/Wolverine?
3- TeamX/Team 7?
Were these any good? Good art? Good story?

Exactly what it sounds like. It was one of the more unique inter-company
crossovers, and it was done rather well. Surprisingly, everyone keeps in
character. Basically, the Punisher trails a red-headed, freckled hood to
Riverdale, where there's a wacky case of mistaken identity.

The other guy summed it up pretty well. But I did enjoy "TMNT/Archie" more.
> 2- Deathblow/Wolverine?
The mother of Logan's girlfriend starts acting all possessed and attacking
Logan and her daughter, and a bincha ninjas appear and there's a fight and
Logan gets injured and collapses in a neighborhood where Deathblow
lives...Deathblow lets him sleep on the couch, finds out they both have
military past...when the ninjas attack Deathblows house to finish off Logan,
and they both go after the ninjas and, well...won't spoil the ending. I
REALLY liked this series. Especially the art. Very Geof Darrow-ish.
> 3- TeamX/Team 7?
I don't remembere at all. I think they both get send to the same mission,
and get involved in a much bigger conspiracy.

One of the guys over at CBR recently did a thing on this. Basically it's a
story that would never be told today in this heightened state of school
violence awareness.

Punisher/Archie is... well, it's kind of a deadpan parody of gratuitous
intercompany crossovers, from what I understand. It's played straight.
Deathblow/Wolverine is just a "two guys meet up and fight the baddies
together" story, and it's actually quite good. Art goes a bit haywire
towards the end of the second issue when deadline problems obviously
hit, but the first issue and a half are beautiful, and worth a look.
Despite the awful name, Deathblow isn't a bad character.
Team X/Team 7 is a crossover I haven't read, which sounds particularly
pointless. As I remember, Team X is the group of black ops agents
that Wolverine was a member of before getting the adamantium, and
Team 7 is something to do with pre-WildCATS continuity.

Done, I believe, by Batton Lash of Supernatural Law fame. Another nice bit
was that The Punisher was touched by all he "family values" of old-fashioned
Riverdale, as it triggered memories of his happy family life pre-origin.

Team 7 where a military special forces type team that got exposed to
some kinda funky stuff that gave them superpowers. Among those that
got exposed were Lynch, Deathblow, and Grifter.
The first Team 7 mini was really pretty good, and it had art by the
gentleman who did the Woverine/Deathblow mini. Cool stuff and worth
tracking down, IMHO.

Yep....dude by the name of Aaron Weisenfeld....wonder what HE's doin' now?

Aaron Weisenfeld was the guy who did the Wolverine/Deathblow mini?
*gets blown away*
Wow.
His art in Spider-Man/Daredevil looked nothing like it...nor in the No Man's
Land issues of Batman...

An interesting aspect of it was the art style. The Punisher and
villians were drawn Marvel style while Archie and friends were drawn
Archie style.
