Industry icon Mark Waid opens up about the editorial note that saved Superman/Spider-Man’s main story before Marvel and DC officially publish each comic.During a recent appearance on the World Balloon Comics Podcast hosted by John Siuntres, Waid discussed his decision to use Brainiac and Doctor Octopus as the villains for his opening story from the upcoming Superman/Spider-Man #1 crossover anthology issue. Surprisingly, the villains would have originally stayed largely in their own lanes if not for a single note from Marvel Comics editor Tom Brevoort.Waid continued, “What I had was what I ended up having. In the end, Superman and Brainiac are over here. Doc Ock and Spider-Man are over here… as Tom says, and it’s so obvious in retrospect, ‘I can see Superman fight Brainiac anytime. When do I get to see Superman fight Dr. Octopus? When do I get to see Spider-Man fight Brainiac?’ I’m like, God d*mn it. So, that was just tearing up the floorboards, but it made for a much better story.”
