DC’s SUPERMAN/SPIDER-MAN #1 TO PUBLISH ON MARCH 25

Legendary Creators Take on the Man of Tomorrow and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!

Celebrate 50 years of DC/Marvel crossovers with eight new original stories by some of DC’s top talent!

Earlier this year, DC Comics and Marvel Comics announced the continuation of their historic crossover collaboration into 2026, beginning in January with the 50th anniversary of the first DC/Marvel crossover, Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man.

Today, DC revealed the creative teams and first look at cover art for its upcoming one-shot comic book Superman/Spider-Man #1. 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. To bring this clash of reporters‑turned‑heroes to life, Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez join forces to headline DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 with an unforgettable lead story.

And don’t miss these bonus stories in DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1, all featuring DC and Marvel characters: 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, and 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.)

In addition to Jorge Jiménez’s main cover shown above, DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 will feature open-to-order cardstock variant covers by 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. Jorge Jiménez’s main cover will also be offered as an open-to-order foil variant cover.

These new stories in DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 follow DC’s Treasury Edition reprints celebrating the original crossover: Treasury Edition 50th Anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (January 7, 2026) and DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1 (February 4, 2026). Together, the 2026 reprints and new crossover comics showcase the enduring power of Superman and Spider-Man as cultural icons, bridging decades of storytelling and fan enthusiasm.
