Over the past year we have seen a resurgence of Marvel/DC crossovers starting with Deadpool/Batman which released in September of 2025. Since then we’ve had 3 more comics released as well as 4 digital only releases (2 Infinity comics on Marvel’s side, and 2 Go comics on DC’s). All of these stories will be collected later this fall in The Dead of Knight and Other Stories and The Cosmic Kiss Caper and Other Stories. I’ll likely be picking these collections up because I’m a sucker for Marvel/DC crossovers and I’d like to have the digital only comics in print. I won’t be covering all these stories in full today because I think all told it’s like 30 stories and I cannot be bothered. I’ll instead walk everyone through the stories that have Supergirl appearing.
Supergirl is not prominently featured in these specials although there are 2 dedicated stories to the girl of steel as well as one other minor appearance. In addition to these books I’ll also take a look at the Power Girl/Punisher story since it’s sorta close. To start with, Supergirl-7642 (which is the official designation of this new crossover earth) first shows up in the “Catch” story from Deadpool/Batman #1. This is a Krypto and Jeff the Shark story that has Supergirl (very briefly) appearing at the end calling for Krypto while Kate Bishop does the same for Jeff. Catch was written by Kelly Thompson, art by Gurihiru, and letters by Joe Caramagna.
We’ll next hop to the Power Girl/Punisher story, “Blind Date” from writer Gail Simone, artist Belén Ortega, colorist Jordie Belaire, and letterer Lucas Gattoni. The premise of this story is Karen “Power Girl” Starr is on a blind date with Paul “MJ’s ex” Rabin. Frank “The Punisher” Castle is doorman for the hole in the wall restaurant in Suicide Slums where this blind date is taking place. Turns out Frank is here to take out all the bad guys who are there to kill Paul because they think he’s Vandal Savage. Paul realizes he’s in over his head and turns tail and skedaddles leaving just The Punisher and Power Girl alone together. A really cute story that really explores both Power Girl and Punisher effectively with good action and funny moments and even Kim Hu’s favorite, Taskmaster. I really have to give props to the creative team for really delivering a full and fun story in just 5 pages, I think the narration boxes of Punisher’s War Journal and Karen Starr’s Daily Journal play off each other nicely and really help give depth to the story.
Hoping next into Supergirl/Blade, the only dedicated Supergirl DC/Marvel crossover (ever). This was released as a DC Go comic on April 8th, 2026 written by CRC Payne of Wayne Family Adventures fame (and she did a story in Supergirl Next Door), penciled by Mikel Janín, inked by Hugo Petrus, colored by Marcelo Maiolo, and lettered by Pat Brosseau. I am on record for my general distaste for phone comics but I do think comics initially produced in vertical format do generally work better than standard books re-formatted.
The story has Mojo as the villain (ew) and his evil scheme is to game the algorithm by putting together all the currently most popular tropes. This includes a “strong female lead who is perpetually a damsel in distress” (Supergirl), a “stoic male lead who’s struggling against some inner darkness” (Blade), and vampires with a genre of romance. Mojo achieves this by transporting all parties to a movie set and leaving to their own devices. Oh also Supergirl is poisoned by Kryptonite.
The pair easily tackle the vampires, catch onto Mojo’s plan, and successfully tear down the set and ruin Mojo’s day. There’s a good chunk of this story spent introducing Supergirl and Blade both to each other as well as the audience. I also liked Blade biting Supergirl not to do her any harm but to cure her of the Kryptonite poisoning, all done in character so that Mojo doesn’t catch on.
There are a couple cool moments in this story that work great in vertical format, Blade throwing a blade (pun). And some of the sequences do lend themselves to visually draw the eye down which helps the story flow.
All in all Supergirl/Blade was a pretty good read and it’s available on the DC Universe Infinite at the free tier so go check it out. The other 3 vertical format crossover comics are available on their respective apps although not at free level for some reason. It does seem like the current slew of Marvel/DC crossovers are currently available digitally but who knows how long that will last which is whey I plan on getting the collected editions for the print formats of these digital only stories.
Now at last we land on the most recent release, Spider-Man/Superman #1 from August 2026, specifically the 6th story “Remarkable”. This story was written by Stephanie Phillips, art by Phil Noto, and letters by Joe Caramagna. This is a brief 4 page story where Ghost-Spider is hanging out in Metropolis hoping to meet Superman. She instead meets Supergirl who is equally disappointed that the Spider on the Daily Planet wasn’t Spider-Man. This is a pretty cute story where the pair team up against Livewire (who was also trying to get Superman and got Supergirl). I wish this story was longer than 4 pages, but the creative team really delivered a great story in such a tight space.
Of the stories I covered today, “Blind Date” is probably the best one but for Supergirl stories I think “Remarkable” is my favorite. If you’d like more Marvel/DC crossover content, I did a whole month of Amalgam Supergirls earlier this year as part of Supergirl in the Multiverse (look for the Earth-496), and look forward to another Amalgam month coming next year.
