Get ready for a thrilling superhero adventure as two iconic worlds collide! In a highly anticipated crossover event, DC Comics takes the lead with 'Superman/Spider-Man #1', a special issue marking 50 years since the legendary DC/Marvel collaboration.
But here's the twist: This time, it's not just about the heroes. The dynamic duo of Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez brings us a tale where Clark Kent and Peter Parker find themselves entangled in a perilous mystery, orchestrated by the sinister Brainiac and Doctor Octopus. As the plot unfolds, the stage is set for an epic showdown between Superman and Spider-Man, but the real stars of this issue might just be the supporting characters.
And this is where it gets intriguing: Tom King and Jim Lee, renowned creators, present a unique take on Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson, adding depth to these beloved characters. But that's not all! The volume is packed with exciting stories from top creators:
- Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber's Jimmy Olsen story with a Carnage twist
- Sean Murphy's Superboy (Legion) and Spider-Man 2099 team-up
- Gail Simone and Belén Ortega's Power Girl and Punisher crossover
- Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere's exploration of Superboy Prime and Spider-Man's black-suit era encounter

A true collector's item: 'Superman/Spider-Man #1' will be available in standard and cardstock variants, with a range of stunning variant covers by industry legends. However, DC's decision to exclude ratio variant covers may leave some comic book retailers disappointed.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, DC and Marvel are also releasing Treasury Edition reprints of classic Superman/Spider-Man crossovers from the past. Get ready to relive the magic and witness the evolution of this iconic crossover!
