Comic Couples We Can’t Stop Shipping
Every comic fan has their favorite “ship” that couple (canon or not) we root for with our whole hearts. Sometimes they’re destined lovers, sometimes they’re an “almost” that keeps us guessing, and sometimes they’re just two characters whose chemistry leaps right off the page. Shipping is part of the joy of reading comics: it’s about hope, imagination, and seeing sparks where the story may only hint at them.
Here are a few comic couples that fans (and secretly, we too) just can’t stop shipping.
💕 1. Batman & Catwoman (DC Comics)
Dark knight meets femme fatale — what’s not to love? Their relationship is a dance of tension, attraction, and conflicting morals. They’ve been enemies, allies, lovers, and everything in between. What keeps us shipping them is the undeniable chemistry: Batman’s relentless control meets Catwoman’s wild independence. Together, they’re danger and desire wrapped in black leather.
💕 2. Spider-Man & Black Cat (Marvel Comics)
While Peter Parker and Mary Jane are the classic couple, there’s something irresistibly fun about Spidey and Felicia Hardy. She’s playful, unpredictable, and challenges Peter in ways MJ doesn’t. Their banter is electric, and their romance feels like a rollercoaster you don’t want to end.
💕 3. Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy (DC Comics)
Once just hinted at, now one of the most beloved canon queer romances in comics. Harley and Ivy balance each other beautifully: Harley’s chaos softened by Ivy’s calm, Ivy’s seriousness lifted by Harley’s joy. It’s a love built on friendship, loyalty, and a sense of freedom — no wonder fans have been shipping them for years.
💕 4. Archie & Betty… and Veronica (Archie Comics)
One of the oldest love triangles in comics, and still one of the most entertaining. Fans have debated for decades: should Archie end up with sweet, dependable Betty or glamorous, fiery Veronica? Whichever side you’re on, the fun is in the rivalry — and the eternal shipping wars.
💕 5. Deadpool & Spider-Man (Marvel Comics)
Yes, you read that right. While not canon (at least not officially), Deadpool and Spidey’s dynamic has inspired one of the internet’s biggest “crack ships.” Their banter is hilarious, their team-ups are legendary, and there’s a strange but undeniable energy between them. Sometimes, shipping is just about the joy of imagining “what if?”
