DC and Marvel Announce Superman/Spider-Man Crossover in 2026

After two decades, DC and Marvel united to create a crossover this year with Batman/Deadpool. We even got two versions of this epic meeting, one from each publisher. Each crossover also featured stories of different DC/Marvel team-ups, such as Wonder Woman and Captain America. Now in 2026, DC and Marvel are joining forces yet again for a brand-new crossover between Superman and Spider-Man. And next year is the perfect time, with Kal-El more popular than ever thanks to David Corenswet and Spidey’s upcoming Brand New Day movie. DC will publish Superman/Spider-Man #1 in March, followed by Marvel Comics publishing Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April. Creative teams will be announced soon for this linkup between Superman and Spider-Man.

But before the new team-up, DC is going back to the vault. DC will reprint two Treasury Edition (10 1/8” x 13 5/16”) comic books that celebrate the legacy of the original DC/Marvel crossovers. On January 7, 2026, DC will publish Treasury Edition 50th Anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1, a facsimile edition of the groundbreaking comic book that first united DC’s Man of Tomorrow and Marvel’s legendary Web-Slinger. DC will then print another facsimile edition on February 4, DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1, a reprint of Marvel Treasury Edition #28, bringing another classic out-of-print title back to comic shops. The Superman and Spider-Man team-up was the first major collaboration between DC and Marvel.

The classic Superman/Spider-Man crossover was featured in the DC/Marvel omnibus published last year. However, it’s now out of print again and very difficult to find. As for the new crossover, will the new Superman and Spidey title feature other stories between DC and Marvel characters? We think that’s pretty likely. Much like Batman/Deadpool, that will just be the lead feature. Here’s hoping we get even more crossovers. We’re still waiting for a Justice League/X-Men project. That’s got to be on the docket, right? Our fingers remain crossed.
