To commemorate the 50th anniversary of "Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man," Marvel Comics and DC Comics are set to launch a brand-new crossover, "Marvel’s Spider-Man/Superman #1," in April 2026. This highly anticipated release follows the buzz generated by last year's "Deadpool/Batman" and marks another collaboration between the two comic giants. It also complements DC's "Superman/Spider-Man," which debuted in March, offering readers a dual crossover experience.
The main story is penned by bestselling novelist Brad Meltzer, marking his first full Marvel Comics writing credit, with art by Pepe Larraz. It depicts Spider-Man and Superman teaming up against the combined threats of Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn. The narrative highlights the convergence of the two heroes' personalities and beliefs, emphasizing their shared understanding of "being a good person" across different worlds.
Beyond the main narrative, the issue will feature multiple crossover short stories crafted by an impressive roster of creators, including Geoff Johns, Brian Michael Bendis, Dan Slott, and Jason Aaron. These tales span various eras and styles, from a noir-style Spider-Man encountering Golden Age Superman to a brand-new chapter featuring Miles Morales fighting alongside Superman. Officials describe the collection as a commemorative work designed to appeal to both new readers and long-time fans.
