In 2025, Batman met Deadpool in an inter-universe crossover the likes of which haven’t been seen in decades. In 2026, that team-up will be topped by the close quarters of two of Marvel and DC’s most popular characters…Spider-Man and Superman! The two first met nearly fifty years ago, when Marvel and DC jointly published Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man: The Battle of the Century in 1976. This classic crossover will be released across two volumes on January 6 and February 4, but that won’t be all. A new crossover between the two will occur in March with the release of DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1, followed by Marvel’s Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April. The exact in-universe reason for the team-up has yet to be revealed, nor the creative team behind it…but we do know what all the covers will look like. Before we get to that, a little bit of insider info. These things are published in two halves, by each company, as I covered above. Apparently DC’s Batman / Deadpool, which followed Marvel’s Deadpool / Batman, received much lower sales numbers….because everyone at the comics shops assumed the DC one was a variant of the Marvel one. And when you reflect on it, […]

Looking through all these covers, I can tell the publishers want to remind everyone that Superman and Spider-Man are their safest pair. I personally enjoy simple crossovers, so I am fine with that. What caught my attention is how DC is releasing their issue first this time. I remember how many people ignored the DC version of the Batman and Deadpool crossover because they thought it was just another variant. This time Marvel might be the one dealing with lower sales. I find that situation funny, because both companies caused that confusion by giving their books almost the same title. I also like that the creative team is still a mystery. It gives me space to imagine different writers and artists who could handle the project. If they bring someone modern with a balanced tone, I think it will work well.

My favorite is the Artgerm piece with Cindy Moon and Kara Danvers. It feels soft and controlled. I do not usually collect team-up covers unless the characters interact inside the story, but this one stands out to me. I am less impressed by the ones pairing characters who have nothing to do with each other, like Power Girl and Black Cat. I understand they are probably doing it for visual reasons, but I prefer variants that represent the content. The small note about Superboy Prime appearing in a B-story also made me curious. He is unpredictable, so placing him with early black-suit Spider-Man might lead to interesting tension.

I think the most amusing part of all this is the sales issue from last year. It shows how much comic shops rely on clear labeling. When both versions of the same crossover are labeled #1, people end up skipping one without realizing it. I am glad DC gets the advantage this time, even if it is unintentional. The covers themselves look fine, but I always prefer interiors over variants. I hope they choose a writer who understands both franchises. If the story turns out to be shallow, even strong art cannot save it.

I like how some covers feel grounded and straightforward. The Jim Lee one especially reflects the classic superhero tone I enjoy. When crossovers become too experimental, they lose my interest. I do not need alternate universe Hulks or surprising pairings. I just want the two main heroes to interact and help each other. I hope the story focuses on a simple conflict they can solve together. That is what makes crossovers fun for me.
