AEW Announces Two-Part Comic Crossover With Justice League For DC Comics

The Justice League is All Elite. AEW and DC Comics have announced a two-part comic crossover featuring the Justice League meeting the wrestlers of AEW. Fans can check out a preview of the event at New York Comic Con. The 48-page story will be written by Steve Orlando and illustrated by Travis Mercer. Lucas Meyer will handle the covers.

Together, they must recover the Big Galactic Belt and prevent a cosmic catastrophe.
