From the inbox: #AEW & DC join forces for comic book crossover. There will be an exclusive 2 issue comic book event at #NYCC. Included in the comic are Mercedes Moné, Hangman Page, Swerve Strickland, & more. They’ll team up with Batman, Aquaman, & Harley Quinn among others. (1/2)

DC and All Elite Wrestling Join Forces for Groundbreaking Comic Book Crossover

The Justice League Meets AEW in a Two-Issue Comic Book Event, with an Exclusive Preview Debuting at New York Comic Con

October 1, 2025 - DC and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) are teaming up for an electrifying crossover that unites two powerhouse universes in a bold new storytelling experience. This unprecedented collaboration will bring the Justice League and AEW’s top wrestling talent together in a high-octane, two-issue comic book event — launching with a special preview edition available exclusively to fans at New York Comic Con.

DC and AEW will also co-promote DC K.O., the DC Comics event launching in October from acclaimed creators Scott Snyder and Javier Fernandez, across AEW’s linear broadcasts, digital platforms, and social media channels. The collaboration will culminate in DC Comics serving as the presenting sponsor for AEW’s marquee pay-per-view event, Full Gear, live from Newark, New Jersey.

AEW Enters the DC Universe

AEW has built a universe as rich and dramatic as any comic book — where stories unfold through grit, passion, and unforgettable rivalries. Now, that universe leaps from the ring to the page in a 48-page, two-part comic book saga written by Steve Orlando, illustrated by Travis Mercer, with covers by Lucas Meyer.

In this epic tale, AEW’s finest — including Mercedes Moné, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, "Hangman"

In this epic tale, AEW’s finest — including Mercedes Moné, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, "Hangman" Adam Page, “Timeless” Toni Storm, Willow Nightingale, Orange Cassidy, and Kenny Omega — team up with legendary DC Super Heroes including Aquaman, Batman, Nightwing, Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and John Stewart, Hawkgirl, Zatanna, Wonder Woman, and Harley Quinn. Together, they must recover the Big Galactic Belt and prevent a cosmic catastrophe.

A photo of the cover is included.

Last Thursday, my endocrinologist said although one lymph node was swollen, it was normal for that location. My u/s looked great. On Sunday, he emailed me to confirm that my labwork shows no residual cancer & I AM STILL CANCER FREE!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 (2/2)

A selfie I took after my most recent neck ultrasound. I think I’m going to wear red lipstick for future ultrasounds.

A screenshot of a message from my endocrinologist that there is no sign of residual thyroid cancer.

One year ago today, I had a hemithyroidectomy on the right side. The surgeon removed a 4.6 cm tumor that I would learn was cancerous. I had the left one removed & it was benign. A few weeks ago, I had a neck ultrasound (I had one in March). (1/)

A selfie from last Thursday after I interviewed Chelsea Green. I had an appointment with my endocrinologist that afternoon.
