Move over, Deadpool and Batman, it’s time for the main event: Superman and Spider-Man are meeting once again in two one-shots coming in 2026. And DC Comics has announced the details for their side of the latest Marvel crossover book, titled Superman/Spider-Man #1, launching in comic book stores on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
Following on the release of facsimile editions of the classic Superman and Spider-Man crossovers, the brand-new comic will cost a cool $7.99 for the main cover, and $8.99 for card stock variants. That’s all well and good, but what about the stories?
The lead story will be written by Mark Waid with art by Jorge Jiménez, and per PR from DC, “When journalists Clark Kent and Peter Parker find themselves chasing the same story, the conspiracy they uncover could change the world—especially if Brainiac and Doctor Octopus have anything to say about it. (And we bet they do!) Good thing our intrepid newshounds are secretly Superman and the amazing Spider-Man.”
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. Here’s what else to expect from the issue, and the back-ups sound (no insult to Waid and Jimenez) even better than the main story (again, via PR from DC):
- Tom King and Jim Lee tell a tale of Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson
- Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber revisit Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen…and Carnage
- Sean Murphy takes us to the future with Superboy (Legion) and Spider-Man 2099
- Gail Simone teams up with Belén Ortega for a look at what happens when Power Girl meets Punisher
- Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere show us a time when Superboy Prime (who reads all the comics!) decided to visit Spider-Man right after he got the black suit
- Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott take us on an exciting race between the Daily Planet and the Daily Bugle
- Plus, we finally get to answer the age-old question of who would win in a fair fight: Pa Kent or Uncle Ben! (Just kidding, those guys are too nice to fight each other, but Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval will take us deep into the past to see the two men bond in the face of adversity.)
The last story will be fun when it’s revealed Pa Kent is the robber who killed Uncle Ben, but I digress.
Naturally, there are a slew of covers for the issue. Here’s the current list, and as a note, “Jorge Jiménez’s main cover will also be offered as an open-to-order foil variant cover”: Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair, Daniel Sampere and Tomeu Morey, Dave Johnson, David Nakayama, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Mikel Janín, Rafael Albuquerque, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, David Talaski, Arthur Adams, Chrissie Zullo, Josh Middleton, Scott Koblish, Olivier Coipel, Adam Hughes, Mitch Gerads, Jeff Spokes, Evan “Doc” Shaner, Steve Lieber, J. Scott Campbell, Clayton Crain, Rafael Sandoval, and more.
