What’s Inside
The oversized one-shot delivers multiple stories spanning different eras and incarnations of both iconic heroes:
A Noir Beginning: Dan Slott and Marcos Martin transport readers to the shadow-laden 1930s, where Spider-Man Noir crosses paths with the original Golden Age Superman in what promises to be a period piece unlike any other superhero tale.
War Comes to Metropolis: Jason Aaron reunites with artist Russell Dauterman for an epic story that sees symbiote hordes invading Metropolis, igniting a new War of the Realms. The tale features Jane Foster as the Mighty Thor alongside Wonder Woman in a cross-publisher team-up that fans have dreamed about for decades.
Miles Meets Clark: Spider-Man Miles Morales gets his moment with the Man of Steel in a story crafted by Miles’ legendary co-creators Brian Michael Bendis (making his grand return to Marvel) and Sara Pichelli.
Villains United: Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz pit the two heroes against a nightmare scenario where Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn join forces, exploiting the greatest weaknesses of both Spider-Man and Superman.
Family Crisis: In what marks his first Marvel story in over 20 years, industry powerhouse Geoff Johns teams with fellow superstar Gary Frank to bring the Super- and Spider-families into conflict at the summons of Mysterio. But as the solicitation hints, their true foe may be an ally spiraling out of control.
Campus Crossover: Current “Amazing Spider-Man” scribe Joe Kelly and artist Humberto Ramos deliver a lighter tale featuring Gwen Stacy and Lana Lang in a campus setting.
Steel vs. Hobgoblin: Rounding out the collection, “Steel” co-creator Louise Simonson and artist Todd Nauck craft a showdown between John Henry Irons and the Hobgoblin.
