Unlimited Access #3

Unlimited Access #3 was published in 1998 as part of a four-issue limited series that served as a crossover between Marvel Comics and DC Comics. This project emerged during a period in the late 1990s when the two publishing giants sought to capitalize on their previous successful collaborative efforts, specifically the Amalgam Comics imprint. The series was designed to resolve lingering continuity questions from the 1996 DC vs. Marvel crossover by introducing the character Access, a hero whose primary function was to act as a bridge and gatekeeper between the two fictional universes.

The series was written by Karl Kesel, with interior art primarily provided by Pat Olliffe. The creative team focused on blending the distinct tone and iconography of both publishers, attempting to weave a cohesive narrative out of a fundamentally disruptive editorial premise. While the series was aimed at dedicated fans of both companies, it met with a mixed reception; critics often noted the difficulty of managing two expansive shared universes simultaneously, though the series remains a notable example of the rare formal collaborations between the two competitors during that era.
