Spider-Man/Superman should have been a cheap gimmick. Instead, Marvel delivered one of the best crossover comics in years—and nobody saw it coming.
The long-awaited Spider-Man/Superman team-up finally arrives, and against all odds, it absolutely works. Brad Meltzer and Pepe Larraz lead the main story with a true event-feel blockbuster, while backup stories from Dan Slott, Marcos Martin, Geoff Johns, and Gary Frank make this oversized special feel like a must-read comic instead of a lazy cash grab. If you were burned by Deadpool/Batman last year, this is the complete opposite.
In this video, Wes breaks down why Spider-Man/Superman is shockingly good, which stories stand above the rest, why Dan Slott may have delivered the best chapter in the book, and how Marvel Comics unexpectedly had one of its hottest weeks in recent memory. We also cover Josh Williamson and Dan Mora’s excellent Superman issue starring Superboy Prime, plus more standout comics from the week.
