An grammatical error

I am a fan of the Hellboy movies, Mike Mignola wrote the comic books. I'm also a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Christopher Golden has written a few novels based in that universe I've read and enjoyed. So for these two storytellers to collaborate on a historical action/horror comic, set in Europe after the Great War, littered with vampires and zombies no less, I figured I ought to check it out.

I think the underlined word "to" should be removed; am I right?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No, you cannot use them there; it is not that kind of clause.

park sang joonI also think I cant' place "for clause" before the main clause.
Yes, that is a basic rule for that conjunction.
park sang jooncan I take it that "to collaborate" is that adjective phrase?
It is not right in the original sentence, of course, but in my second alternative, it seems to me to be an infinitive clause

Not at all. 'That universe' is the setting of the novels.
