Featuring artwork by Jorge Jiménez, J. Scott Campbell, Adam Hughes, and more

As DC and Marvel celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, DC today revealed a second wave of variant covers for Superman/Spider-Man #1, arriving March 25. The landmark one-shot unites two of comics’ most iconic heroes in a new adventure that honors one of the most important crossovers in comic book history.

DC’s one-shot is headlined by the lead story “Truth, Justice, and Great Responsibility” from Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez, in which intrepid newshounds Clark Kent and Peter Parker uncover a conspiracy that pulls Superman and Spider-Man into a universe-spanning threat involving Brainiac and Doctor Octopus. Jiménez has also created a new pin-up paying homage to Ross Andru’s iconic back-cover illustration from Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, which will appear as an interior page. Alongside the main story, Superman/Spider-Man #1 features an all-star lineup of bonus tales by Tom King and Jim Lee; Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber; Sean Murphy; Gail Simone and Belén Ortega; Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere; Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott; Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval; and more, making DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 one of the most creator-packed releases of the year.

Following the initial reveal of Superman/Spider-Man #1 variants by Daniel Sampere and Tomeu Morey; Jim Lee, Scott Williams, and Alex Sinclair; Stanley “Artgerm” Lau; Rafael Albuquerque; Dave Johnson; David Nakayama; Gabriele Dell’Otto; Mikel Janín; David Talaski; and Clayton Crain, this latest round showcases even more of the industry’s top artistic talent.

These newly unveiled covers by Mitch Gerads; Rafa Sandoval and Ulises Arreola; J. Scott Campbell; Adam Hughes; Steve Lieber and Nathan Fairbairn; Evan “Doc” Shaner; Jeff Spokes; Chrissie Zullo-Uminga; Scott Koblish and Hi-Fi; and Jorge Jiménez and Tomeu Morey highlight the spirit of collaboration behind Superman/Spider-Man #1. These covers pair heroes, supporting characters, and even a few unexpected icons from both storied universes. Among them is a Supermobile/Spider-Mobile variant by Shaner, celebrating the era when even the world’s greatest heroes occasionally needed a set of wheels…and a first look at Jimmy Olsen and Carnage!

With two waves of variants now revealed, and a roster of creators spanning generations of DC and Marvel storytelling, DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 stands as one of the most anticipated releases of 2026.

Superman/Spider-Man #1 arrives March 25, 2026, wherever comics are sold. Fans can contact their local comic shop now to preorder all available covers. Marvel’s one-shot,Spider-Man/Superman#1, arrives in April to continue this historic celebration.
