Marvel reveals Spider-Man/Superman #1 story details and variant covers

January 19, 2026 by Gary Collinson

Having crossed over for the first time in decades last year with a pair of Deadpool and Batman specials, DC and Marvel are set to pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, the first ever crossover between the two comic book titans, with another pair of one shot comics bringing together iconic heroes and villains from both publishers.

DC Comics will kick things off in March with the previously announced Superman/Spider-Man #1, and now Marvel has officially unveiled details for its own offering, Spider-Man/Superman #1, which will follow in April and is set to feature the following:

  • THWIP, THWIP AND AWAY! Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz pit SPIDER-MAN and SUPERMAN against LEX LUTHOR and NORMAN OSBORN as their greatest villains exploit some of their greatest weaknesses!
  • In the shadow-laden 1930s, SPIDER-MAN NOIR encounters the original GOLDEN AGE SUPERMAN as told by Dan Slott and Marcos Martin!
  • Industry powerhouse Geoff Johns delivers his first Marvel story in over 20 years, teaming up with frequent collaborator and fellow superstar Gary Frank! A crisis ensues as the hit creative team bring the Super- and Spider-families against each together at the summons of MYSTERIO…but is their true foe an ally out of control?!
  • SYMBIOTE hordes invade Metropolis as a new War of the Realms ignites in Jason Aaron and Russell Dauterman’s epic reunion starring Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor, Wonder Woman and more!
  • Co-creator of STEEL Louise Simonson and artist Todd Nauck hammer out the tale of John Henry Irons’ clash with the HOBGOBLIN.
  • Current Amazing Spider-Man scribe Joe Kelly and artist Humberto Ramos deliver a campus crossover between GWEN STACY and LANA LANG!
  • SPIDER-MAN (MILES MORALES) teams up with SUPERMAN in a tale by Miles’ legendary co-creators, Brian Michael Bendis, who recently made his grand return to Marvel, and Sara Pichelli!

“Everyone here at Marvel is excited to be re-teaming with our friends at DC for another colossal crossover, this time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our two icons, Spider-Man and Superman, first teaming up!” Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski added. “I can’t wait for fans of every generation to read these spectacular stories that our titanic talent are telling, featuring all-new, easily accessible stories about the ever-growing Spider-Man and Superman families meeting for the first time.”

Check out the main cover to Spider-Man/Superman #1 from Pepe Larraz, along with variant covers by Mark Bagley, Greg Capullo, Ryan Stegman, Peach Momoko, Jerome Opena, Marcos Martin, Russell Dauterman, Erik Larsen, Sara Pichelli, Walter Simonson and Kaare Andrews…

Spider-Man/Superman #1 will go on sale on April 15th 2026.
