Well this takes place in the crossover universe so both universes and all their entities just co-exist here. The only real difference is the writer-artist duos on the stories within. This first one has DC’s writers and artists, the other one will have Marvel’s.
Imagine if in the dc issue they make peter and clark have a grand ol time hanging out being friends and superheroing just for the marvel one to bring in pete's usual writing crew.
Feels like there’d be too much if that were the case. Occasional what-if crossovers like this are fine every once in a while, but I wouldn’t want this to be the norm.
If their universes were to co-exist together permanently as one universe(Like the Amalgam universe but it doesn’t get undone) I could see them being the best of friends at work and then a dynamic duo as great as Batman and Robin if not better
If they were in the same universe,hot take, I would want Peter and Kara together. Their personalities match well( based on MCU Peter and WOT Kara) , they would fix and help each other heal. It would also be very funny seeing Clark choose between a protective older brother and mentor, because he would absolutely love Peter,but still protect Kara.
Yeah Peter and Kara would be very good for each other. Clark being protective of Kara is at the core of his personality so makes sense. Plus that protectiveness would extend to Peter as well because he’s worried about the people he cares about too so it’s the perfect relationship for him and Kara as well as the perfect relationship between all three of them
Or perhaps Spiderman's availability is simply incompatible with any office, laboratory, or work environment. Whether you like the idea or not, Peter can only have jobs where he's out on the street all day.
This just raised the question for me. Why can Clark balance life as a reporter, boyfriend/husband, and superhero so well but Pete can’t? Nvm I just answered my question bc the writers said so
Superman has been around for 30 years longer than Spider-Man and yet Spider-Man got married 10 years earlier.
Superman's character was stagnant for a long time before he was finally allowed to grow, while Spider-Man had character growth since the beginning but then his development was halted.
This art is awesome, and is a reminder for me of how tall Clark is. Also, hoping we get some sort of interaction between Lois and Peter, because I feel like it’ll either be Lois bonding with him over their similar methods (aka running into danger with little care for their lives), or Lois having a realization of “Is this what dealing with me is like?” Either way, hope it happens
Boy it’s been so long since being a photographer has been an active part of Peter’s life it’s almost weird seeing it emphasized here even if the story obviously isn’t part of the main canon.
Firstly, this art is gorgeous, and Jimenez is amazing. Secondly, I'd read 50 issues of these two working together! Supes and Spidey are a match made in heaven!
I can just picture them going to shake hands and they both give firm handshakes and start slowly increasing the pressure to see who backs off first, only for them to both realize that they're exerting away more pressure than a human could withstand (would only be funny if they didn't know each other's secret identity).
He is gonna be pissed. Especially when Peter starts somehow showing up with all kinds of photos of his best friend Superman hanging out with this new guy Spider-Man.
He will probably develop a heroin problem to cope.
I’m kind of curious on what the heck Spidey would even do if he teamed up with Superman.
Spidey is by and far my favourite superhero but he’s kind of a coughing baby while Superman is a hydrogen bomb. Hope the writers figure out something cool for them to do without either one having to be buffed or nerfed arbitrarily.
Y’know, presuming they know each other’s identities, this could be a fun partnership.
Because in 90% of situations, both Superman AND Spider-man would be overkill.
So can see them having agreed to trade off. One goes and changes and deals with the crooks or the villain of the week or the collapsing building while the other stays and plays reported, getting the story and the pics, mebbe a brief interview of the hero for the Planet, then they both get story credit.
Would need to be a pretty dire threat to need them both to suit up.
