DC and Marvel are extending their rare and historic crossover publishing initiative into 2026, giving fans both a nostalgic return and brand-new stories featuring two of the most iconic superheroes of all time.
A Legacy Honored: Treasury Edition Facsimiles
The year-long event kicks off with two facsimile editions from DC, spotlighting the original Superman and Spider-Man crossovers. On January 7, 2026, DC will release Treasury Edition 50th Anniversary of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man #1, a reproduction of the groundbreaking comic first published in 1976. Then, on February 4, 2026, DC will reprint DC and Marvel Present: Superman and Spider-Man Treasury Edition #1, bringing Marvel’s Treasury Edition #28 back into print for a new generation of readers.
These oversized Treasury Editions (10 1/8” x 13 5/16”) were originally landmark releases. It united DC’s Man of Steel with Marvel’s Wall-Crawler for the very first time. Their return is part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man.
New One-Shots Coming in Spring 2026
After revisiting the classics, both publishers will introduce fresh crossover stories. In March 2026, DC will publish Superman/Spider-Man #1, followed by Marvel Comics’ Spider-Man/Superman #1 in April 2026. Each one-shot will feature original stories starring the legendary heroes, with creative teams to be announced at a later date.
