Marvel and DC are once again joining forces for a historic crossover, and this time, they’re going bigger than ever. SPIDER-MAN/SUPERMAN #1 is set to hit shelves on April 22, celebrating five decades since the groundbreaking team-up that first united two of comics’ most iconic heroes.

This new one-shot commemorates the 50th anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, the first-ever crossover between Marvel and DC. That landmark issue helped define what was possible when comic book universes collide, and now, the tradition continues with a modern twist.

The upcoming issue also follows closely behind DC’s recent Superman/Spider-Man #1, making this a rare back-to-back collaboration between the two publishing giants.

Leading the charge is bestselling author Brad Meltzer alongside acclaimed artist Pepe Larraz. Their main story throws Spider-Man and Superman into a high-stakes conflict against a lineup of legendary villains, including Norman Osborn and Lex Luthor.

At its core, SPIDER-MAN/SUPERMAN #1 isn’t just another crossover, it’s a celebration of comic book history, legacy, and the enduring appeal of seeing beloved heroes share the same page. By blending nostalgia with fresh creative voices, Marvel and DC are delivering a project that feels both like a tribute and a bold step forward.
