"exploring a meeting between Superboy Prime and Spider-Man during the black-suit era." It's called Tapping In, and it seems that Superman Prime is down for talking to Spider-Man's black suit. Because Spider-Man might not know about the symbiote suit being Venom at this point, but Superboy Prime, who has read Secret Wars and all of Amazing Spider-Man does…

DC Comics also released a few pseudo-photographs of Spider-Man and Superman from Mark Waid and Jorge Jimenez's lead story, Truth, Justice And Great Responsibility...  and it seems that Superman may be under a Kryptonite attack and quite powerless, just as he is about to take off…

As well as a few images, not in the preview… including that another classic Spider-Man scene will be reprised in this issue...

Kryptonite is in play, and it seems that Doctor Octopus, courtesy of Brainiac, does indeed have Kryptonite mechanical arms. Although he is just a normal man, so a punch from a depowered Superman will still knock him out. Note, we have a Superman wrapped in Spider-webbing, something to protect him from the flames if his superpowers aren't working? And does Superman save Spider-Man from that Steve Ditko collapse in return for saving him?
