THE DARK GOD (1995)

Conan has never appealed to me in the slightest and I knew next-to-nothing about the Ultraverse 'til I started the Marvel Comics Guide, so I'll keep this one pretty basic. This little crossover event happened not long before Marvel lost or gave up the rights to publish Conan stories and right after they'd started messing up the Ultraverse, so maybe they thought combining the two would work? It probably has more to do with the fact that Marvel had a chance to bring Barry Windsor-Smith back to Conan (the series that made him famous) by having him cross paths with his most recent creation, Rune, in the one-shot comic.

This could easily have been passed off as taking place outside of continuity, but Conan was originally considered part of Earth-616's ancient history and Rune was seriously old, so it'd be revealed some time later that Rune hopped realities from Earth-93060 to Earth-616 hundreds of years ago and clashed with the world's most famous barbarian.

Conan #4[2/2]
Rune has spent enough time on Earth-616 to blood-munch his way through just the right amount of humans to practically make himself a god. He opens some kind of scrying pool to see if anyone might pose a threat to his plan to rule the entire planet and is shown a sword-wielding barbarian on horseback. He figures this man can't possibly pose much of a threat...

Conan vs Rune #1
Conan rides into a city looking for food and rest, only to find mangled human bodies littering the streets and staining the walls. One near-dead survivor tells him of the man they discovered in the dessert with no footprints around him. They nursed him to health, then months later he began to consume them all. Conan gives the man a quick death and finds his way to the centre of the town where he fights the 'Dark God' among a sea of dead bodies. Rune's sheer power give him the upper hand, but Conan rips jewels from around his neck, causing Conan to violently hallucinate. When he recovers, Rune is gone. Conan burns the city and goes on his way...
Conan the Savage #4[1/2]
Ten years into his role as King of the Aquilonian Empire, a much older Conan leads his soldiers into the tower of the Brotherhood of the Spider where he aims to kill the Brotherhood for their own attempt on his life. The Brotherhood summon the demon called the All-Knowing B'eethra which announces itself by killing many of the Brotherhood themselves. Rune emerges from the shadows and attacks B'eethra, only to be consumed by it, too. Conan tries to fight the creature, but it's destroyed from within by Rune. Recognising each other from years before, Conan decapitates Rune immediately and hacks his body to pieces. Conan returns to his men outside the tower, leaving a very angry head behind him...
Ultraverse Unlimited #1 (1996)
Rune's reality-hopping is explained in a flashback sequence during KINDRED.

Freex #17 (1995)
Rune is revealed to have returned to Earth-93060 where he becomes the Priest of Amon-Ra and encounters the time-lost Freex during GODWHEEL.

MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales , Journey into Mystery , Amazing Adventures , Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe ! The highlight is the Hulk 's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the  Fin Fang Four ! The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales. Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1 [1/2] Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prow...

WHEN MUTANTS CLASH (1967-1968)

When Captain America leaves Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers start to come apart at the seams. If that wasn't enough, two former-members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants - Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch - are about to leave the Avengers in favour of rejoining their old boss, Magneto . Will there even be a team left? Perhaps they could consider a new member like Dane Whitman -  a guy who can't make up his mind if he's a forward-thinking or an old-school Black Knight .  Magneto has plan to keep an eye on the shipping news and raid boats that pass his mid-Atlantic island base to help finish off his machine that will turn humanity into his mindless slaves. Will the Avengers and the X-Men be too busy fighting each other to thwart this bizarre scheme?
