The Justice League is getting an Elite upgrade.

Ahead of tonight's celebration of Dynamite's 6th anniversary, AEW announced that it will be joining forces with DC for a two-issue comic book collaboration. The collaboration will officially kick off with an exclusive preview edition available at New York Comic Con next week.

Per the official press release released earlier today, as a part of the collaboration, DC Comics will be the presenting sponsor for November's Full Gear PPV in Newark, NJ.

DC and AEW are both under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella and have worked together before, but this marks their biggest collaboration thus far.

Past collaborations between AEW DC

This isn't AEW and DC's first time working together. Last October, AEW and DC Comics partnered up to release AEW Origin Stories, a series of comics penned by Steve Orlando detailing how several AEW wrestlers became the stars they are today, including Swerve Strickland, Will Ospreay, Orange Cassidy, "Timeless" Toni Storm, Darby Allin, and Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.

Earlier this year, Dynamite held Heroes & Villains matches sponsored by the most recent Superman film.

Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland has done cosplays of several DC heroes on PPV such as Static Shock and Mr. Terrific.
