Take A First Look Inside ‘Spider-Man/Superman’

by Tony Thornley

March’s Superman/Spider-Man was a colossal success. Now later this month Spider-Man/Superman hits stands, and Marvel Comics has released a look inside their chapter of this monumental team-up.

Spider-Man/Superman will re-team Marvel and DC Comics’ flagship heroes, reuniting the duo 50 years after their first team-up. Last month’s special saw them fighting Doctor Octopus and Brainiac. The follow-up, out April 22nd, will see the Web Slinger and Man of Steel facing Lex Luthor and the Green Goblin, in a lead story by Brad Meltzer, Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia.

This special will also be chock-full of back-up stories, featuring team-ups from the Superman family and the Web Warriors. Marvel has revealed a first look at all eight of those stories including:
