Line 18:
** Marvel Zombies 4 has his own zombie + X record in it. In 3 issues we get {{spoiler|Zombie Werewolf, at least three Mad Zombies, [[Demonic Possession|Demonic Possessed Zombie]], Zombie Sea Monsters, Zombie Cloud, and three dead superheroes [[Fusion Dance|Fused in One Zombie]].}}
*** Sadly, while a version of Simon Garth (The Zombie!) appears, it's the main [[Marvel Universe]] version. So we never get to see ''Zombie Zombie''!
* Presumably this is the premise behind [https://web.archive.org/web/20080827172330/http://www.superdickery.com/other/256.html Space Western Comics], I've never read one but as the cover in this link involves Nazi fighting space cowboys, I can make an educated guess.
* ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'': Mina Murray, Alan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man and Mr Hyde team up to fight [[Fu Manchu]] (and later Moriarty) in an airship battle over London. And in the second series they fight Martians. Being Alan Moore, however, it's taken deadly seriously and ends up tragic.
** Also by Alan Moore is ''[[Top Ten]]'', which one could conclude is less serious, based on the presence of a [[Your Vampires Suck|vampire]] Mafia. And everything else in it.
Line 85:
* The sequel comic book series of ''[[The Incredibles]]'' has a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex with a tophat and a monocle as a prominent member of the [[Legion of Doom|Confederacy of Crime]].
* The [[Marvel Universe]] minor supervillain Swarm tends to fit here. A Nazi scientist [[I Love Nuclear Power|irradiated a beehive]], was [[Family-Unfriendly Death|eaten alive by the bees]], and somehow [[Bee-Bee Gun|his consciousness survived]] as the [[Hive Queen]]. In more fitting terms, Swarm is an evil hive of telepathic bees with Nazi sympathies. It's been pointed out before that Nazi supervillains have been done, evil bees have been done, people ''made'' out of evil bees have been done - but somehow, ''a Nazi made of bees'' is more awesome than it has any right to be.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115223905/http://www.lileks.com/institute/funny/10/179.html This comic book cover.] [[Dual-Wielding]] [[Semper Fi|Marines]] on [[Hula and Luaus|surfboards]]!
* An issue of the current ''[[House of Mystery]]'' series featured one character's gloriously deranged idea for a screenplay, about a [[Pirate]]-[[Ninja]]-[[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire]] [[Everything's Better with Monkeys|gorilla]] fighting [[Evil Sorcerer|magic-using]] [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|dinosaurs]] in space, after Earth was rendered uninhabitable due to [[Zombie Apocalypse|zombies]] and [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|killer robots]]. But that simple description doesn't capture the sheer dementedness of the story, which [[Genre Shift|shifts genre]] violently every time the narrator remembers a really cool bit he forgot to mention previously.
* Captain Raptor. It's [[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]] as a velociraptor flying through space fighting cybernetic dinosaurian [[Space Pirates]] and huge [[Space Whale|space tylosaurs]].
* It could be reasonably argued that this trope is the reason the [[Amalgam Universe]] exists. DarkClaw, for example, is a Canadian-millionaire-bat-wolverine-mutant with a [[Healing Factor]], adamantium claws, and sonar powers.
* [[Elf Quest]] doesn't keep much noise about it, but deep down it's actually a comic about [[Our Elves Are Better|elf]] {{spoiler|''aliens''}}. There's a whole story arc where the point is to find out whether elf {{spoiler|aliens}} can beat [[All Trolls Are Different|troll]] {{spoiler|aliens}}. Oh, ''and'' they're [[Noble Savage|noble savages]] with [[Bond Creatures|bond]] [[Big Badass Wolf|wolves]] too.
* At one point in the Future Foundation story, [[Spider-Man|Spidey]] and the [[Fantastic Four|FF]] run into zombie pirates. Spidey, who is ''obviously'' [[One of Us]], can barely contain his joy.
