DC and Marvel continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man this week with Superman/Spider-Man #1

The landmark one-shot unites two of comics’ most iconic heroes in a new adventure that honors one of the most important crossovers in comic book history.

Comic Watch Reviews:

DC’s one-shot is headlined by the lead story “Truth, Justice, and Great Responsibility” from Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez, in which intrepid newshounds Clark Kent and Peter Parker uncover a conspiracy that pulls Superman and Spider-Man into a universe-spanning threat involving Brainiac and Doctor Octopus.

Superman/Spider-Man #1

When journalists Clark Kent and Peter Parker find themselves chasing the same story, the conspiracy they uncover could change the world — especially if Brainiac and Doctor Octopus have anything to say about it. (And we bet they do!)

Good thing our intrepid newshounds are secretly Superman and the amazing Spider-Man.

And don’t miss these bonus stories:

Tom King and Jim Lee tell a tale of Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson
Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber revisit Superman’s pal Jimmy Olsen… and Carnage!
Sean Murphy, meanwhile, takes us to the future with Superboy (Legion) and Spider-Man 2099.
Gail Simone teams up with Belen Ortega for a look at what happens when Power Girl meets Punisher.
Christopher Priest and Daniel Sampere show us a time when Superboy Prime (who reads all the comics) decided to visit Spider-Man right after he got the black suit.
Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott take us on an exciting race — between the Daily Planet and the Daily Bugle.
Plus, we finally get to answer the age-old question of who would win in a fair fight, Pa Kent or Uncle Ben! Just kidding, those guys are too nice to fight each other, but Jeff Lemire and Rafa Sandoval will take us deep into the past to see the two men bond in the face of adversity.
