Superman and Spider-Man team for Eight New Original Stories Together from DC in March 2026

Posted on by

Earlier this year, DC Comics and Marvel Comics announced the continuation of their historic crossover collaboration into 2026, beginning in January with the 50th anniversary of the first DC/Marvel crossover, Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man. DC has now revealed the creative teams and first look at cover art for its upcoming one-shot comic book Superman/Spider-Man #1.

When journalists Clark Kent and Peter Parker find themselves chasing the same story, the conspiracy they uncover could change the world—especially if Brainiac and Doctor Octopus have anything to say about it. (And we bet they do!) Good thing our intrepid newshounds are secretly Superman and the amazing Spider-Man. To bring this clash of reporters‑turned‑heroes to life, Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez join forces to headline DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 with an unforgettable lead story.

And don’t miss these bonus stories in DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1, all featuring DC and Marvel characters: Tom King and Jim Lee tell a tale of Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson, Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber revisit Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen…and Carnage, Sean Murphy takes us to the future with Superboy (Legion) and Spider-Man 2099, Gail Simone teams up with Belén Ortega for a look at what happens when Power Girl meets Punisher, Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere show us a time when Superboy Prime (who reads all the comics!) decided to visit Spider-Man right after he got the black suit, and Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott take us on an exciting race between the Daily Planet and the Daily Bugle.

Plus, we finally get to answer the age-old question of who would win in a fair fight: Pa Kent or Uncle Ben! (Just kidding, those guys are too nice to fight each other, but Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval will take us deep into the past to see the two men bond in the face of adversity.)

In addition to Jorge Jiménez’s main cover, DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 will feature open-to-order cardstock variant covers by Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair, Daniel Sampere and Tomeu Morey, Dave Johnson, David Nakayama, Gabriele Dell’Otto, Mikel Janín, Rafael Albuquerque, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, David Talaski, Arthur Adams, Chrissie Zullo, Josh Middleton, Scott Koblish, Olivier Coipel, Adam Hughes, Mitch Gerads, Jeff Spokes, Evan “Doc” Shaner, Steve Lieber, J. Scott Campbell, Clayton Crain, Rafael Sandoval, and more. Jorge Jiménez’s main cover will also be offered as an open-to-order foil variant cover.

DC’s Superman/Spider-Man #1 will publish on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, and will retail for $7.99 US (main) and $8.99 US (card stock variants).

DC Reveals Bonus Stories and Variant Covers for Batman/Deadpool #1

Posted on by

What happens when the World’s Greatest Detective meets the Merc with a Mouth? Reality folds in on itself. Archetypes collide. Darkseid is. And, somewhere between Apokolips and Earth-TRN666, a sentient street named Danny hums show tunes about a crusading cape! DC Comics has revealed more details about the anticipated Batman/Deadpool #1, a 64-page one-shot crossover comic book with a main cover by Dan Mora. Retailing for $7.99 US the comic hits shelves on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

But DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 isn’t just a comic book crossover between iconic publishers, it’s a metaphysical car crash between two storytelling philosophies. One character broods in the shadows of trauma and justice. The other cartwheels through chaos, breaking the fourth wall and occasionally the laws of physics. Together, they’re forced to confront a threat that doesn’t just endanger their worlds—it questions their very existence as fictional constructs.

With a main story by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, Batman/Deadpool #1 launches a reality-bending saga that’s equal parts cosmic horror, slapstick noir, and metafictional therapy session. It’s the kind of comic book that knows it’s a comic book, revels in being a comic book, weaponizes its comic bookiness—and dares you to keep reading anyway!

Buckled into the backseat of Morrison and Mora’s Batmobile, four all-star bonus stories come roaring in, each crafted by a bona fide who’s who of comic book creators:

Comic legends collide as Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson join forces with Hayden Sherman to conjure a spellbinding Constantine meets Doctor Strange saga. Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo deliver a kinetic, emotionally-charged encounter between Nightwing (Dick Grayson) and Wolverine (Laura Kinney), where acrobatics meet adamantium in a story that cuts deep. Mariko Tamaki and Amanda Conner unleash chaos and charisma in a riotous Harley Quinn vs. Hulk showdown, while G. Willow Wilson and Denys Cowan electrify the page with a high-voltage tale starring Static and Ms. Marvel.

These additional stories expand the scope and amplify the wild ambition of Batman/Deadpool #1, offering fans even more collisions of tone, style, and character chemistry. From brooding to bonkers, the Batman/Deadpool #1 creative teams go all in.

Ahead of DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 arriving in November, Marvel’s Deadpool/Batman #1 will publish on September 17. Both of these incredible one-shot comic books will deliver explosive sagas starring DC’s Caped Crusader and Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth, along with bonus stories that showcase additional team-ups and showdowns between legendary characters from both universes.

To push the limits of DC’s cosmic collision of comic book characters even further, Batman/Deadpool #1 will feature an extraordinary lineup of cardstock variant covers, including a wraparound blank blue cardstock sketch variant cover with the Batman/Deadpool logos and a foil variant of Dan Mora’s main cover, all retailing $8.99 US, from some of the most iconic and inventive artists in comics:

  • Dan Mora – Batman/Deadpool wraparound
  • Lee Bermejo – The Joker/Doctor Doom
  • Mark Brooks – Zatanna/Scarlet Witch
  • Jim Cheung and Jay David Ramos – Wonder Woman/Captain America
  • Amanda Conner and Alex Sinclair – Harley Quinn/Hulk
  • Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin – Batman/The Punisher
  • Jenny Frison – Wonder Woman/Storm
  • Andy Kubert and Alejandro Sánchez – Robin (Damian Wayne)/Gambit
  • Jae Lee and June Chung – Big Barda/Savage Land Rogue
  • Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair – Batman/Wolverine
  • Alexander Lozano – Wonder Woman/Ms. Marvel
  • Sean Murphy and Simon Gough – Lobo/Deadpool
  • Frank Quitely – Batman/Deadpool
  • Bruno Redondo – Nightwing (Dick Grayson)/Wolverine (Laura Kinney)
  • Hayden Sherman – John Constantine/Doctor Strange
  • Bill Sienkiewicz – Batman/Deadpool — a The Incredible Hulk #340 homage
  • Ryan Sook – Batman/Deadpool — a Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 homage
  • Sozomaika – Catwoman/Emma Frost

With Morrison and Mora at the wheel, an all-star crew riding shotgun, and a pit crew of legendary artists delivering cardstock variant covers that expand the DC/Marvel crossover even further, DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 is a showcase of comic book creativity. And yes, there will be owls. There will be blades. There will be blood. There will be a giant typewriter!

Check out Mora’s wraparound variant cover below and stay tuned for a deeper look into DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 in the coming months.

Batman #158 is an unexciting return of Hush from Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee

Posted on by
Batman #158

Hush returns! About 23 years after the two teamed up, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee are back again to tell an all-new tale featuring Hush. Batman #158 kicks off the hotly anticipated story arc, dubbed Batman: H2SH, and the result is… just ok.

Written by Jeph Loeb, the issue is a strange one. The storytelling feels a little disconnected at points with logic jumps that make absolute no sense. The Joker is at it again, this time poisoning Gotham’s water with fish… because. Of course Batman swoops in to save the day but also stumbles and he himself has to be saved… by someone who just so happens to be in the area. That’s the first oddity of the issue. But then, the Joker is being manipulated? Used as bait? It’s all rather odd overall leading Batman to discover Hush is back with leaps that feel rough and a stretch.

The comic’s entertainment can’t even been saved by Jim Lee‘s art which is good but doesn’t feel like it has the dynamic excitement of the classic story. With ink by Scott Williams, color by Alex Sinclair, and lettering by Richard Starkings, the comic looks great but there’s a lack of excitement visually. There’s solid panels, some beautiful work, it’s what we’d expect from Lee, but there’s nothing that jumps out or excites. It hits the beats but doesn’t excel and stand out like the original.

Batman #158 isn’t a bad issue. It’s entertaining and might lead to something great overall, but as a single issue, it falls short of the excitement and magic of that original release. Logic leaps along with art that doesn’t quite blow things away creates a start that’s just ok overall. In the end, this story arc will be measured by its whole but for a start, this one doesn’t live up to expectations or hype.

DC Announces DC GO! — a new collection of webcomics designed for mobile devices

Posted on by

DC has announced DC GO!, a new frontier of webcomics publishing exclusively on DC Universe Infinite (DCUI). The DC GO! collection of webcomics is designed for mobile devices, and a sneak peek of two new series will be free to read as a DC GO! preview starting today. The DC GO! collection will include a mix of original webcomic content plus vertically reformatted DC and MAD Magazine classics, launching November 20, 2024. Check out a preview of the DC GO! collection below and click through to dcuniverseinfinite.com/go for more information.

The DC GO! original launch titles include Harley Quinn in Paradise by CRC Payne, Siobhan Chiffon, and Cathy Le; Nothing Butt Nightwing by Patrick R. Young and Moy R. Marco; and Renaissance of Raven by Sina Grace, Nico Bascuñan, Katherine Lobo, and Carola Borelli, with more to come.

In Harley Quinn in Paradise by writer CRC Payne and artists Siobhan Chiffon and Cathy Le, Harley Quinn is rarely lucky in love—and after her recent breakup with The Joker, has been feeling particularly chaotic. Ivy advises Harley to lay low for a while—maybe a little R&R (recklessness and robbery) would be good for her! Good advice, right? True to character, Harley decides the best way to lay low is to plaster her face across every television in America and find true love on TV’s hottest reality dating show. Harley heads for the show’s island setting, ready to be the best contestant the program has ever seen…because she’s playing to win by any means necessary! And can she help it if she accidentally falls in love along the way?

Harley Quinn in Paradise

In Nothing Butt Nightwing by writer Patrick R. Young and artist Moy R. Marco, Dick Grayson, the first Robin, has made a name for himself as the hero Nightwing. But after several failed civilian-identity career attempts (a bar, a gym, etc.), he lands his biggest deep-cover operation yet—as an international supermodel! He’s got the eyes of the audience, the other models, and even a few agents. But he only has eyes for one thing…the Poison Ivy protégé on the hunt to steal the expensive (and environmentally harmful) jewels around the models’ necks…and perhaps the models themselves! But can he serve justice, and serve lewks, while traveling the globe? The spotlight is on Dick Grayson in Nothing Butt Nightwing…because his first gig is an underwear print campaign!

Nothing Butt Nightwing

In Renaissance of Raven by writer Sina Grace and artists Nico Bascuñan, Katherine Lobo, and Carola Borelli, Raven needs an escape. Her fellow Titans won’t leave her alone, she just had a fight with Beast Boy, and to top it off, it’s the anniversary of her mom’s death. We find her trying to live life beyond the curse of her father. She’s over it! Raven is more than her trauma! When a strange girl in a graveyard proclaims that Raven is some kind of destined hero, she’s ready to walk away…until suddenly, she’s pulled through an enchanted portal…to the kingdom of Galonia. Raven is sent hundreds of years into the past, where she must contend with a cabal of witches and the difficult choice of helping those in need or returning home!

Renaissance of Raven

In addition to the three original webcomics debuting with the DC GO! collection launch, with more to come, a DCUI subscription will also allow readers to enjoy newly formatted DC and MAD Magazine classics on the go. Batman: Hush,a thrilling mystery of action, intrigue, and deception by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, is the first DC classic to join the DC GO! collection and can be previewed for free beginning October 17. All-Star Superman, a science fiction/fantasy epic by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a science fiction adventure by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, and more, will be joining the DC GO! collection of reformatted genre classics on DCUI in the coming months.

In Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair, and Richard Starkings, a crime epidemic is sweeping Gotham, and Batman’s enemies have emerged to wreak havoc on the Caped Crusader’s life. But little do they know they’re all just pawns in a grand scheme concocted by the enigmatic Hush with one endgame in mind: destroy Bruce Wayne!
