Ep 431: Marvel / DC: Spider-Man / Superman #1 (2026)

This week on the Major Issues Podcast, the hosts break down Superman/Spider-Man #1, the latest crossover bringing two icons back together in a way that feels both classic and modern. Written by Brad Meltzer with art by Pepe Larraz, the main story gets a full dissection as the hosts explore how this team captures the ideals, tone, and dynamic between Superman and Spider-Man while delivering a crossover that feels worthy of both legacies. The episode also digs into the issue’s backup stories, spotlighting contributions from Tom King and Mitch Gerads, as well as Rainbow Rowell and Humberto Ramos. Each creative team brings a distinct tone and perspective, from introspective character work to more energetic, classic superhero storytelling, expanding the scope of the crossover beyond the main event. It is a layered look at a crossover that is not just about two legends meeting again, but about how multiple creative voices interpret that moment in different ways.
