Marvel and DC blew a lot of minds earlier this year when they announced that they’d be joining forces for their first intercompany crossover in more than two decades. Marvel released Deadpool/Batman #1 in September, while DC will follow suit with Batman/Deadpool #1 in November. The publishers previously confirmed that another crossover will follow in 2026, and now we have confirmation that it involves two of the biggest heroes in pop culture – Superman and Spider-Man.
It turns out there’s a good reason that the Man of Steel and our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man have been MIA in the various crossover tales included in Deadpool/Batman #1 and Batman/Deadpool #1. They’re being saved for their own pair of crossover specials timed to the 50th anniversary of 1976’s Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1.
Similar to the release strategy of this year’s crossover, DC will publish Superman/Spider-Man #1 in March 2026, followed by Marvel publishing Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April. Neither publisher is revealing the creative teams involved yet, but further announcements will be dropping in the months to come. Presumbaly, both will issues will feature several backup crossover tales similar to the ones in Deadpool/Batman #1 and Batman/Deadpool #1.
Prior to those releases, DC will also release two Treasury Edition reprints of classic Superman/Spider-man crossovers, Treasury Edition 50th Anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 in January and DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1 in February.
Prior to these Batman/Deadpool crossovers, Marvel and DC’s last collaboration was 2003’s JLA/Avengers. Be sure to check out IGN’s picks for the Marvel/DC crossovers that need to happen next.
Treasury Edition 50th Anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1 will be released on January 7, followed by DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1 on February 4. Then, look for Superman/Spider-Man #1 in March and Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April.
