Grand Tour

Until now, the Superguy altiversal structure has remained mostly isolated from any of the others, with brief and usually unexplained character transpositions the only form of crossover contact.

Until now...

—Team M.E.C.H.A. #60

Many months ago as you reckon time, an LNH Writer and a Superguy Author set out to write an unprecedented crossover between the two realities. Their efforts proved the pain that such an endeavor can inflict, not just on the creators, but on their creations. It is unlikely another such crossover on that scale will be attempted by those of even marginal sanity for a long time hence.

—The Dvandom Stranger, Stranger Tales #7

The Grand Tour was a huge crossover between the Superguy series Team M.E.C.H.A. (by Chris Meadows) and the Classic LNH series Dvandom Force (by Dave Van Domelen), along with a bunch of other storylines from other internet fiction worlds by Chris and friends. Superguy authors Jesse Taylor, Lawrence Brown and Mason Kramer collaborated on the Team M.E.C.H.A. issues as well, Steve Hutchison co-wrote the alt.pub.dragons-inn crossover bits, and Philip Moyer co-wrote the crossover with his Serendipity series.

It ran in Team M.E.C.H.A. #60-78 and Dvandom Force #53-61, with an one-off Dvandom Force Christmas special featuring Wayne the Invid and an Elsewhirl epilogue in Stranger Tales #7.

Plot

When Necrosaur, still smarting from his defeat at the hands of Dvandom Force, finds a Bunzai's Pizza box which Sidewinder had brought to the Looniverse, he begins a new scheme – to conquer the worlds of both LNH and Superguy! He secretly arms both the Constellation Gang of the Looniverse and the Mighty Muddy Power Grangers of 000SUPERGUY with RoboMACs technology. Team M.E.C.H.A. takes on the upgraded Grangers, who are then summoned by Necrosaur. As the Grangers are pulled into the Looniverse to fight Dvandom Force, Team M.E.C.H.A. tries to follow them – but they face a few detours along the way...
