We Are Yesterday Reading Order Checklist

The Legion of Doom is perhaps one of the most sinister forces in the DC Universe. They are the Justice League of villainy, bringing the likes of Lex Luthor, The Joker, Sinestro, Gorilla Grodd, and Black Manta under one team. Their combined forces make them deadly at the best of times. However, in the We Are Yesterday crossover, they have a competitive edge over our heroes – knowledge of the future.

Background reading

We Are Yesterday is the first crossover of DC Comics’ All In era. Due to this, you might want to catch up on what’s been happening in the DC Universe. Here are a couple of reads I recommend.

DC All In Special #1
Written by Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyder. Art by Daniel Sampere, Wes Craig, and Dan Mora.

This one-shot sets up the All In era. This includes establishing the new status quo for the Justice League and kicking off a much larger meta-story that will reverberate through various comics for some time.

Justice League Unlimited (2024 series) #1-5
Written by Mark Waid. Art by Dan Mora and Tamra Bonvillan.

Following DC All In Special #1, DC Comics launched a new Justice League comic book series. Inspired by the classic animated series, this series sees a massive and rotating roster of heroes on the team. Check out Justice League Unlimited (2024 series) #1-5 in the lead-up to We Are Yesterday to get a sense of the crossover’s tone.
