Plus, we finally get to answer the age-old question of who would win in a fair fight, Pa Kent or Uncle Ben!

Mark Waid is an American comic book writer widely known for shaping modern superhero storytelling through influential runs on major characters at both DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Raised in Alabama, he developed an early fascination with comic books, particularly classic stories featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes, whose imaginative scope and sense of legacy would later inform his own writing. He first entered the comics industry during the mid 1980s as an editor and writer for the fan magazine Amazing Heroes, before publishing his first professional comic story in Action Comics. Soon afterward he joined DC Comics as an editor, contributing to numerous titles and helping shape projects across the company. After leaving editorial work to focus on writing, Waid gained widespread recognition with his long run on The Flash, where he expanded the mythology of the character and co-created the youthful speedster Impulse. His reputation grew further with the celebrated graphic novel Kingdom Come, created with artist Alex Ross, which imagined a future DC Universe shaped by generational conflict among superheroes. Over the years he has written many prominent series, including Captain America, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, and Superman: Birthright, bringing a balance of optimism, character depth, and respect for comic book history to each project. Waid has also collaborated with notable artists and writers on major ensemble titles such as Justice League and Avengers, while contributing ideas that helped clarify complex continuity within shared superhero universes. Beyond mainstream superhero work, he has supported creator owned projects and experimental publishing models, including the acclaimed series Irredeemable and Incorruptible, which explored moral ambiguity within the superhero genre. He later took on editorial leadership roles at Boom Studios, guiding creative direction while continuing to write extensively. In subsequent years he expanded his involvement in publishing and digital storytelling, helping launch online comics initiatives and advocating for new distribution methods for creators. His work has earned numerous industry awards, including Eisner and Harvey honors, reflecting both critical acclaim and enduring popularity among readers. Throughout his career Waid has remained a passionate student of comic book history, drawing on decades of storytelling tradition while continually encouraging innovation within the medium. His influence extends across generations of readers and creators, and his stories continue to shape the evolving language of superhero comics around the world today through enduring characters imaginative narratives and thoughtful reinventions of familiar myths within popular culture and modern graphic storytelling traditions.

Mark Waid is the perfect writer for DC/Marvel crossovers. And, the art is great in this. However, I feel these new crossover stories are too short because they're trying to fit in a ton of backups.

The Doc Ock-Braniac teamup is pretty conventional, Peter and Clark are both meeting as journalist when the threat comes, and there's probably too much kryptonite in the story so that there are Superman stakes. It's fun, not game-changing, which is what it is meant to be.

Again: I don't really like the many, many backup stories which don't feel necessary. It gets repetitive, they're too short at 4 or 5 pages and only get started before it abruptly ends without resolution, and Supes and Spidey are overused. The only two good stories are the Spider-Man 2099 meeting Batman Beyond (and Superboy) by Sean Murphy, and The Punisher going on a date with Power Girl by Gail Simone. Those were clever.

A fun collection of Marvel and DC crossovers that allow fan favourite characters to share the page, even if the stories themselves vary greatly in terms of quality. The first story is definitely the highlight, and the only one I would actually recommend buying this oversized issue for. That being said, fans have been eager to see the two flagships team up, and when the offerings are already slim pickings, it's hard to complain when they provide something for you to enjoy.

“We did it, partner.”

I loved this crossover with my whole heart. Superman and Spider-Man complement each other perfectly—it just works so well, I was smiling the whole time.

The first three one-shots were my favorites (like, genuinely so good!!), but the rest were still really enjoyable too—random, heartwarming, and weirdly funny.

And I loved the subtle mentions of Batman. Lol. I actually paused every time I caught it. Is this… foreshadowing something? Because I wouldn’t say no to a Batman and Spider-Man team-up.

Çizimleri çok sevdim ve batman/deadpool’a kıyasla ana hikaye baya iyiydi. Yan hikayeler tatlı ama unutulası olmuş. Örümcek ve superman odaklı yapmak istemelerini anlıyorum ama diğer marvel dc karakterleri yan yana gelince daha güzel oluyor
Yardımcı karakterlerin hikayeleri sıkıcı. Bazı yerlere sinir olduğum da oldu daha iyi seçimler yapılmalıydı.

Good Friday 2026

I got my copy of DC's Superman/Spider-Man #1 yesterday and this is what I thought of the different stories contained within.

Superman Spider-Man "Truth, Justice, and Great Responsibility" - 3/5 Stars

Should it be expected that the main story be so generic and safe? Mark Waid has been underwhelming me lately. At least artist Jorge Jiménez is providing some beautiful panels but in regards to story it doesn't offer up much more than what I could have imagined myself. "With great power, comes great response abilities" is a great line though.

Lois Lane & Mary Jane "The World's Finest" - 4/5 Stars

Some personal preferences are going to show through in this review (and why shouldn't it?) but I enjoyed the second story by Tom King considerably more. There were fun moments, knowingly self references to past storylines and a surprise guest star (from a character that normally annoys me but I actually felt it was pretty cool. Go figure?). I'd normally bang on about how overrated Jim Lee's art is but I really liked it here (especially of the aforementioned guest-star). What this painfully reminded me though, is the fact that Mary Jane and Peter aren't actually together in the mainstream continuity.

Superboy-Prime & the Amazing Spider-Man
"Pages" - 2.5/5 stars

Cool art but overall the story was complicated and unsatisfying. I think I need Superboy-Prime explained to me again.

Superboy & Spider-Man 2099 "Beyond the Cobwebs of Tomorrow - 3/5 stars

Never read Spider-Man 2099 or the Batman books that Sean Murphy had such success with, but found this to be an enjoyable read. Don't think it's a spoiler to say Batman Beyond shows up (an obvious crossover character for Spidey 2099) and if any story deserves a follow up part, whether in the Marvel Spider-Man/ Superman special or even it's own miniseries, it would be this one.

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen & Carnage "Jimmy Con Carnage" - 5/5 stars.

Pure comedy genius. Loved the Jimmy Olsen mini series Matt Fraction and Steve Leiber did and it's a wonderful treat to see them do more stuff. I would commission a 12 part sequel with Jimmy Olsen on assignments set in the Marvel Universe in a heartbeat. Unfortunately the ending of this particular story means it can never happen. So funny.

Jonathan Kent & Ben Parker "The Bridge" - 2.5/5 stars

Ok. I completely misunderstood who the characters I was reading about were until I got to the final page (I was quite tired at the time). As a result I didn't feel the need to go back and re-read it though. It was just ok.

Daily Planet & Daily Bugle "Bias" - 3.5/5 stars

Clever idea. Great to have Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott working on this together and I hope there more from them in the pipeline.
Have to admit I was again confused by the final line of the story.

Power Girl & The Punisher "Blind Date" - 4.5/5 stars

It might seem a little confusing for this story to appear within this anthology and Gail Simone gave a wonderful explanation in a heartfelt online post about Gerry Conway, a creator on both of these characters. I love it and am "shipping" both of these characters hard to have their own ongoing series. A great way to end the book.

Overall score 3.5/5 stars. Goodreads doesn't do .5 stars so I'll round it up to 4. Had a good time overall.

Now I have to double check I've ordered Marvel's Spider-Man/Superman #1.

Kahdeksan alkua ilman loppua

2/5 ⭐

Supersankarisarjakuvien tunnetuin crossover lienee vuoden 1976 Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man.

Teris ja Hämis samassa sarjakuvassa.

Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man oli ensimmäinen varsinainen Marvelin ja DC:n välinen crossover ja loi samalla kahden kustantamon yhteisnumeroille kaavan, jota on sen jälkeen noudatettu lähes uskonnollisesti.

Ja nyt 50 vuoden jälkeen samaiset trikoosankarit pääsevät jälleen yhteisjulkaisuun. Pakkohan tästä oli selvää ottaa.

Ensin vastataan lukijapoikien ikiaikaiseen kysymykseen:

Jos Teräsmies ja Hämähäkkimies tappelisivat, kumpi voittaisi?

Sankarit kohtaavat. Jostain syntyy väärinkäsitys. Teräsmies pitää Hämähäkkimiestä rikollisena, Hämähäkkimies Teräsmiestä lihaksikkaana fasistina tai jotakin sinne päin. Sitten otetaan toisista mittaa muutaman sivun ajan.

Lopulta väärinkäsitys selviää, sankarit kättelevät ja lähtevät yhdessä nujertamaan pahiksia.

Ongelma tässä crossover-ilottelun lajityypissä on se, että käsikirjoitukset ovat lähes aina täyttä kuraa.

Ensimmäiseen kohtaamiseen ja sankareiden väliseen konfliktiin käytetään kaikki käytettävissä oleva luovuus. Kun fanipojille on viimein toimitettu se kauan odotettu yhteentörmäys, käsikirjoitustiimi lähtee iltakaljoille ja toivottaa viittasankareille onnea loppumatkaan.

Tästä syystä crossoverit lässähtävät usein pahasti juuri siinä vaiheessa, kun niiden pitäisi muuttua oikeiksi tarinoiksi.

Fanit saavat toki omansa. He pääsevät näkemään, kuinka Batman väistää Wolverinen kynnet tai kuinka Hulk kokeilee, montako lyöntiä Teräsmies kestää.

Minulle se ei riitä.

Sori vaan.

Sarjakuvat ovat hyviä silloin, kun niissä on hyvä käsikirjoitus ja hyvät hahmot. Aivan kuten romaanitkin. Jos juoni puuttuu, teoksesta puuttuu vähintään puolet.

Tuore Marvelin ja DC:n crossover-kokoelma DC/Marvel: Superman/Spider-Man (2026-) #1 on julkaistu alkuperäisen Teris–Hämis-yhteisnumeron 50-vuotisjuhlaksi. Sen tekijät ovat selvästi tunnistaneet lajityypin vanhan ongelman:

Kun ensimmäinen konflikti on ohi, lopputarina tavallisesti sakkaa.

Tällä kertaa ratkaisu on varsin mielenkiintoinen.

Koska lopputarinat eivät toimi, ne on jätetty pois.

Hämmentävää, mutta totta.

Kokoelmassa on kahdeksan lyhyttä tarinaa, jotka esittelevät eri Marvel- ja DC-hahmojen kohtaamisia. Clark Kent ja Peter Parker päätyvät saman jutun jäljille. Lois Lane kohtaa Mary Jane Watsonin. Jimmy Olsen törmää Carnageen. Superboy-Prime vierailee mustan puvun saaneen Hämähäkkimiehen luona.

Ja lähes joka kerta tarina katkaistaan siinä vaiheessa, kun alkusetup on saatu valmiiksi.

Hahmot esitellään. He kohtaavat. Jotakin kiinnostavaa alkaa tapahtua.

Loppu.

Tämä ei tunnu novellikokoelmalta vaan kahdeksalta myyntipuheelta sarjakuviin, joita ei koskaan kirjoitettu.

Mukana on sentään hieman muutakin kuin supersankareiden keskinäistä mätkimistä. Kokoelman hauskimmassa tarinassa Tuomari ja Power Girl nujakoivat mafiaa vastaan ja lähtevät sen jälkeen treffeille. Ajatus toimii juuri siksi, että hahmot ovat lähtökohtaisesti niin järjetön pari.

Myös Pa Kentin ja Ben-sedän kohtaamisessa on lämpöä. Kahden supersankarin kasvattaneiden tavallisten miesten asettaminen samaan tarinaan on aidosti hyvä idea.

Ei tämä tee kokoelmasta hyvää. Mutta kieltämättä naureskelin muutamaan otteeseen ja arvostin paikoin varsin hyvää hahmokirjoittamista.

Siksi tuomio on kaksi tähteä.

Lisää seuraa sitten, kun crossover-sarjakuvien tekijät keksivät, miten mukaan saadaan myös oikea juoni.

Truth, Justice, and Great Responsibility
Wow! I hate to seem surprised, but I didn’t have a ton of faith I’d enjoy reading this book. I mean, the premise is designed to be gimmicky, I thought that would be the end of it. Now I’m not saying it’s brilliant fiction, but damn if this wasn’t a hell of a time! Brainiac teams up with Doc Ock, and this crossover treats it as if the two worlds were always just as one, like the Batman vs. TMNT movie from a few years back does. That means they can make great references, call backs, connections, and more subtle nods all without having to over-explain them. Very clever throughout, never too eye-rolly considering what we’re doing here, and a great time. Exactly what I’d want from something like this. Continuity be damned, who cares, you know the basics of all these characters, now go. I’ll also say this feels like what a crossover between Superman: TAS and Spectacular Spider-Man might’ve felt like.
The only nitpick I have is Waid’s Peter Parker is a little overly quippy for my tastes, a little too close to Deadpool, and I really don’t like “For the last fershlugginer time”, I just… what is that? Idk, not a huge dealbreaker, just my tastes, I prefer him written a little toned down from this.

Worlds Finest - Mary Jane & Lois Lane
Oof.
Yeah, no, I’d have guessed this was Tom King even if I hadn’t seen it ahead of time.
This is soooo deconstructive that it becomes cringy. I can handle a wink-and-nod, but that’s what this whole story is. Just tell the story straight, you can make comparisons without saying “lol ain’t it cute and quirky?”
Oof.

Pages
My head hurts, and this sucks.
To be fair I know nothing about Superboy-Prime, but now I never want to.
And it doesn’t even bother to end?

Beyond the Cobwebs of Tomorrow
Why are these incomplete? For God’s sake, I bought this thinking it would be a one-and-done, are you freakin’ telling me there’s more? No? Then why bother setting it up?!
I really liked this one! I’m a nut for Batman Beyond, this was a ton of fun! But no, screw me I guess, it just ends. Great setup, even though I’ve not read 2099 yet and I don’t know much about the Legion, but I think the premise is intelligent, intuitive, and most of all fun.
But that’s all that’s here. Just a freakin’ premise. There’s no story, nothing, just a setup and it’s over. You could’ve just released a few pages of fan art and gotten the gist.

Jimmy Con Carnage
Honest reaction: “WHAT?!”
This is hilarious and completely works for me. Completely antithetical to my opinion on “World’s Finest,” this is breaking the rules in the right ways. And it’s hilarious. Certainly not what I expected.

The Bridge
First thing I’ve read from Jeff Lemire, and I like it. Super simple, if it were prose it would be flash fiction, but it’s very good. It’s exactly what you’d expect from the premise, and for that I’d describe it as comfort food.

Bias
I love Greg Rucka. He writes excellent political intrigue disguised as action, and here it sits rather undisguised yet still just as entertaining. I think the argument breaks down a little if they don’t press Jameson further into saying he assumes Superman has no alias, because… I mean, he’s still anonymous, mask or no. But nevertheless, this felt classic. Like the last story, exactly what you’d expect from the premise, but I’m saying that in the positive. I bought this cover for a reason, I don’t want it all reinvented, but I do want it competent and worth my while. Most of these stories have understood and delivered on that.

Blind Date
I’ve never read The Punisher nor Power Girl, so I’m not necessarily the best judge. But if I had to guess, this will please Power Girl fans and not one Punisher fan. This feels like the kind of story you could tell at only DC and make a knockoff called The Penalizer or something, nothing about this has to be a crossover event, but I can’t say I wasn’t at least mildly amused, and the one big joke it has is legit very funny to me. Still, weird note to end on.

3,5 estrelas.

Estava com expectativas bem altas para este crossover. Superman é o meu herói preferido da DC e Homem-Aranha é um dos que mais curto na Marvel.
Um encontro entre os dois, apesar de inusitado, me deixou curioso.

Assim como no crossover de Batman/Deadpool, aqui a HQ abre com a história principal.

Clark e Peter são bons amigos e estão indo trabalhar juntos em uma matéria sobre um roubo que aconteceu nos Laboratórios STAR. Então, eles descobrem que o culpado é um vilão já conhecido pelo cabeça de teia, e entram em ação como Superman e Homem-Aranha.

É uma história divertida, que consegue fazer um balanço legal de mostrar a vida "normal" deles e a vida de super-herói.
Mas a trama do vilão não me convenceu, achei bobinha demais.
A arte do Jorge Jiménez está impecável.

Das histórias que vem a seguir, não tive nenhuma favorita, mas algumas até que foram decentes.

Lois Lane e Mary Jane é divertido pela dinâmica entre as personagens e por perceber que elas tem mais em comum do que eu imaginava. E essa história tem uma participação especial que foi bem legal de ver ali.
Superman Primordial e Espetacular Homem-Aranha foi uma história inesperada, ela brinca muito com a metalinguagem e eu achei isso bem legal. É o tipo de história que eu gostaria de ver sendo desenvolvida melhor em outro volume, porque gostei dos personagens juntos.
Superboy e Homem-Aranha 2099 já não me agradou tanto. Achei uma história confusa, rápida demais e não me conectei com nada.
Jimmy Olsen e Carneficina é um título curioso e inesperado, que entrega um plot estranho, mas para quem é fã vai aproveitar. Eu achei chatinho.
Jonathan Kent e Ben Parker foi o que teve uma mensagem bem bonita. O encontro do pai do Clark e o tio do Peter, algo que nunca imaginei, resultou em uma conversa que tem tudo a ver com o que os personagens pregam.
Planeta Diário e Clarim Diário até que foi legal acompanhar, por se tratar de uma treta jornalística, mas queria que fosse um pouco maior e cutucasse mais na vertente da manipulação nesse mundo das notícias.
Poderosa e Justiceiro foi apenas ok. Não conheço muito bem os personagens, então não liguei muito para a história.

Superman e Homem-Aranha - 3,5
Lois Lane e Mary Jane - 4
Superman Primordial e Espetacular Homem-Aranha - 4
Superboy e Homem-Aranha 2099 - 3
Jimmy Olsen e Carneficina - 2
Jonathan Kent e Ben Parker - 4
Planeta Diário e Clarim Diário - 3,5
Poderosa e Justiceiro - 1

Esse volume não foi ruim, mas estava esperando algo muito grandioso.
Agora é torcer para Homem-Aranha/Superman superar esse primeiro volume.

Mark Waid and Jorge Jimenez do a good job here, but my experience suffered from having read the 1976 original right before.

That oversized issue was essentially a trade in and of itself, which meant we got a full six or so chapters; introductions for Supes, Spidey AND each of the villains, then a few chapters of story and a prologue.

This issue went the modern "annual" route. the first third is the main story, and the rest of the issue is made up off 3-5 page stories from different creative teams.

Waid and Jimenez main story is good, it's just too short. And the brevity of it means there's no time for double page spreads or any other thing that would let Jimenez flex a little.

The rest of the other stories vary in quality.
Tom King and Jim Lee are fine. Though I discovered I don't like a Lee drawn Spider-Man.

Gail Simone's Punisher/Supergirl is a bit of fun.

The highlight, far and away though, is Matt Fraction's Jimmy Olsen and Carnage. If you've read Fraction's Jimmy before, you know what to expect. And he doesn't miss a beat returning to that character.

The rest I've already forgotten. And there's at least three others I reckon.

So yeah, can't give this more than 3. If Goodreads could do half stars, Fraction would have earned it though.

Nothing like a big comic crossover to spice up a Friday, and Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez deliver with the central story, “Truth, Justice and Great Responsibility”. Waid charts a riveting trip through these characters’ quippy, calm, and inspiring demeanor, while calling back to some of their greatest moments. Jiménez more than carries his part of the bargain, crafting a cinematic art style that is electric, dialing up the action with epic splashes. Morey lends a helping hand with a phantasmagorical splash of color and sharpness that makes this story feel like a warm hug that landmarks two of comics' best and brightest. There’s a handful of additional stories worth mentioning too, King and Lee’s “World’s Finest” is clever and subversive, highlighting the two most iconic damsels in distress while articulating how they’re anything but such a trope. Priest and Daniel Sampere's “Pages” is a meta blast with some truly breathtaking art from Sampere in particular. There’s more tucked in the pages and panels of this lovely tribute/fantasy team-up comic, but it's best served for discovery. The world is on fire, but boy howdy, is it nice to escape into pure giddy, glittery fandom every once in a while.

This is pretty much the gimmicky stunt I expected. The best story in the collection is the first one with Superman and Spider-Man going against Doc Ock and Brainiac. In this alternate universe, the two heroes know each other and their secret identities and have obviously worked together before, so there's no awkward wasted space needed to get the two together. The other stories are quite a mixed bag, but they are all just fragments of stories without solid resolutions. Some are serious and some are jokey, but none are too memorable.

These Marvel/DC crossovers so far have been so much fun! The main story by Mark Waid felt like one of his fun “World’s Finest” comics, but with 100% more Spider-Man which rules lol

Dock Ock with Kriptonite arms might also be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen lol

The Jimmy Olsen/Carnage story was so hilariously out-of-pocket. Did not expect them to just straight kill him lol

The Lois Lane/MJ and Uncle Ben/Pa Kent stories were also pretty sweet.

The art in every story was positively superb (Special shout out to the double page spread by Jorge Jimenez, my God it was gorgeous). I really loved the character interactions. Seeing these two worlds collide like this was great fun, and they all felt very true to their characters. I could read Superman and Spider-Man saving people all the live long day. Amazing stuff
