Supergirl and Blade Crossover in a new Webcomic!

DC has revealed Supergirl/Blade, the next chapter in its digital-first crossover initiative with Marvel. You can read it exclusively on DC GO! Written by CRC Payne with art by Mikel Janín and Hugo Petrus, colors by Marcelo Maiolo, and letters by Pat Brosseau, the new vertical-scroll webcomic brings together two icons from opposite worlds in a thriller that cuts across dimensions. The special one-shot issue is free-to-read for the first 30 days with DCUI registration.

When Mojo kidnaps Supergirl and Blade to star in his latest over-the-top vampire romance series, the Girl of Steel and the Daywalker find themselves trapped on a soundstage where the cameras never stop rolling and the stakes are very real. Forced to battle bloodsucking foes, melodramatic tropes, and Mojo himself, the unlikely duo must team up and fight their way to freedom before the show’s final twist becomes their last.

This latest release builds on last year’s digital-first crossovers, including The Flash/Fantastic Four on DCUI under the DC GO! imprint and Thor/Shazam! on Marvel Unlimited as an Infinity Comics story, which marked the first time DC and Marvel characters appeared together in original vertical-scroll stories created specifically for digital platforms. The initiative continues to grow in 2026, with both publishers releasing new stories that highlight the strengths of their characters while exploring surprising team-ups.

Launching the same day on Marvel’s digital reader platform, Marvel will debut Jeff/Aquaman by Kelly Thompson and Andres Genolet, an aquatic adventure pairing the fan-favorite land shark with the King of Atlantis.

When Ken the Kaiju storms Coney Island, Jeff and Aquaman must form an unlikely aquatic alliance to save the shoreline from total destruction. Big waves, big laughs, and even bigger monsters await in this ocean-sized adventure.
