Yeah, there it's mostly publicity. Still, IIRC, the very first comic book crossover, Sub-Mariner vs. Human Torch, was done because creators Bill Everett & Carl Burgos thought it would be fun. Then again, both series were on the pages of a single anthology comic, so not much chance of bringing in another book's readers. ;-) Oh, I wasn’t thinking print comics.

This may not be the goal that the cartoonists had in mind when they first started the crossover, but it is what crossovers have traditionally been about in the print comic world, and that foundation will always remain part and parcel of crossovers.
