Following DC’s reveal of the creative teams working on Superman/Spider-Man, Marvel has now revealed the creators for their side of the crossover. Spider-Man/Superman will include stories by Brad Meltzer, Pepe Larraz, Dan Slott, Marcos Martin, Geoff Johns, Brian Michael Bendis and more.
Like the DC title — and the two Batman/Deadpool crossovers that proceeded it — Marvel’s title is also an anthology and will feature stories with not only Clark Kent and Peter Parker, but also Miles Morales, Steel, Gwen Stacy, Lana Lang, Wonder Woman, Jane Foster and more.
“I’ve been waiting 50 years to write this book,” Meltzer said. “Superman and Spider-Man have affected me more than most real people. I carry them with me everywhere — and our story cuts to the core of what it means to be a good person. I’m honored that Nick Lowe and everyone at Marvel even asked. Just wait until you see Pepe’s work. Get your capes and web-shooters ready…”
Here’s a list of what to expect:
- THWIP, THWIP AND AWAY! Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz pit SPIDER-MAN and SUPERMAN against LEX LUTHOR and NORMAN OSBORN as their greatest villains exploit some of their greatest weaknesses!
