DC Comics will publish a collected edition of the most recent DC/Marvel crossover comics in DC/Marvel: The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories, arriving September 8, 2026. This 224-page collection brings together the full lineup of new stories that reunited the DC and Marvel universes for the first time in more than twenty years.
Headlining the collection are the two fan-favorite crossover stories, Batman/Deadpool by Grant Morrison and Dan Mora, and Superman/Spider-Man by Mark Waid and Jorge Jiménez. In Batman/Deadpool, Gotham’s Dark Knight collides with Marvel’s Merc with a Mouth in a mind-bending adventure only Morrison and Mora could deliver. In Superman/Spider-Man, Clark Kent and Peter Parker chase the same story—and uncover a conspiracy involving Brainiac and Doctor Octopus that threatens both their worlds.
Beyond the marquee stories, The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories includes a wide range of short tales pairing iconic DC and Marvel characters in unexpected pairings—from Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson to Power Girl and Punisher, Nightwing and Wolverine, Jimmy Olsen and Carnage, Superboy and Spider-Man 2099, and more. These stories come from some of the most celebrated creators in comics, including Tom King, Jim Lee, Gail Simone, Belén Ortega, Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Matt Fraction, Steve Lieber, Sean Murphy, Christopher Priest, Daniel Sampere, Greg Rucka, Nicola Scott, Jeff Lemire, Rafa Sandoval, and others.
DC/Marvel: The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories collects DC/Marvel: Batman/Deadpool #1, DC/Marvel: Superman/Spider-Man #1, and the first print editions of vertical-scroll digital comics DC/Marvel: The Flash/Fantastic Four by Jeremy Adams and Adrian Gutierrez and DC/Marvel: Supergirl/Blade by CRC Payne and Mikel Janín.
DC also celebrates the extraordinary creative teams whose work made this historic crossover possible—from storytellers like Denys Cowan, G. Willow Wilson, Mariko Tamaki, Amanda Conner, Hayden Sherman, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Scott Snyder, Jeremy Adams, Adrian Gutierrez, CRC Payne, and Mikel Janín to the talent behind the headline stories, including Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Dan Mora, and Jorge Jiménez. With a brand-new cover by Jim Cheung, this collection stands as a tribute to the imagination, craft, and collaboration that brought these two universes together in unforgettable ways.
The collection will be available in hardcover and paperback formats wherever books are sold. For preorder information, visit Penguin Random House: DC/Marvel: The Cosmic Kiss Caper & Other Stories.
