Spider-Man and Superman Crossover Set to Release in 2026

Spider-Man and Superman, two of the biggest names in comic book history, are finally coming together again in an official crossover event.

DC Comics and Marvel have just confirmed that brand-new Superman/Spider-Man comics will be released in the spring of 2026 — marking one of the rare occasions where both publishers unite their heroes.

The project will consist of two one-shot comic books, with each company releasing its own story. DC will publish Superman/Spider-Man in March, followed by Marvel Comics publishing Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April.

This announcement has immediately set the internet buzzing. While Superman and Spider-Man first crossed paths in the 1970s during a legendary special edition, decades have passed without an official follow-up. Fans have often speculated about when the two heroes would meet again, and now it’s finally happening in 2026.

Spider-Man and Superman: The dream crossover

What makes this even more exciting is the collaborative nature of the project. Each publisher will bring in its own creative team to craft the stories, ensuring that Spider-Man feels authentically Marvel while Superman retains his DC essence. At the same time, readers can expect shared moments that explore how these two very different heroes interact when forced to face a common threat.

The decision to publish two separate one-shots instead of a single miniseries is also intriguing. It means that fans will get two unique artistic interpretations of the crossover, possibly even with distinct villains or supporting casts. Imagine Spider-Man swinging through Metropolis or Superman soaring across New York — both scenarios are now officially on the horizon.

Recently, fans already got a taste of what modern Marvel/DC collaborations can look like through the surprise Batman and Deadpool crossover in the comics. That story reminded readers of how much fun these cross-company encounters can be. Blending the darker, brooding style of Batman with Deadpool’s chaotic humor.

The success of that issue only fueled excitement for future projects, making the upcoming crossover event feel even more like the event fans have been waiting for.

Spring 2026 is already shaping up to be a historic moment, as Marvel and DC join forces once more to deliver a pair of stories that could redefine how we see intercompany collaborations.
