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 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.
