Here’s All The Covers For Superman / Spider-Man #1

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, what were they supposed to think? They’re both labeled #1, they both have near-identical titles….if it happens again, this time DC is going first, so it’s Marvel that will take the hit. That’s fair, right?

Most of the covers are like this: depicting Superman and Spider-Man together. A lot of the Batman / Deadpool comics had other hero team-ups on the covers. Not as many this time.

But we do get some. Cindy Moon and Kara Danvers get wrapped up together in this piece from Stanley “Artgerm” Lau.

 

Our first guess here was Nightwing and Venom, but that doesn’t match up because the current Venom is, uh, a redhead woman. Don’t ask. This is actually related to a B-story inside the issue where Superboy Prime meets Spider-Man right at the time when he first gets the black suit.

These guys don’t look like they’d have much trouble with each other’s arch-enemies. Though Spidey is fortunate to have to fight Lex instead of, say, Darkseid.

 

“Red Son” Superman fights…..uh, I guess there’s a Soviet Hulk wearing a Spider-Man suit in the Marvel Universe.

 

 

 

 

There is a Power Girl story in here, but it’s one where she meets the Punisher. We don’t know why they’d put her on a cover with Black Cat — what do they have in common besides…y’know?

Superman / Spider-Man #1 will be released March 25, 2026.
