Crossovers in the world of the graphic novel are to be seen almost as often as the tides turn or as social media finds another person in which chase down in a witch hunt. There was a time when it was seen to be special, a nod to the existence in some gigantic way that for example Captain America could breathe the same air as the Fantastic Four, the Thing and The Hulk could batter themselves silly across several different issues and take in the force of Doctor Strange at the same time. Now it seems all too common place, not necessarily a bad thing but one in which a heavy laden serial such as Marvel’s Original Sin requires so much forethought to carry it off with grace.
