The Justice League has recently broadened its lineup to incorporate a vast array of heroes from DC Comics’ extensive universe. This expansion marks an exciting evolution for the League, which continues to serve as an unwavering symbol of heroism and justice. In a recent interview with Mark Waid, the writer behind the current Justice League Unlimited comic series, it was disclosed that for the first time, the League will embody the concept of being “truly unlimited” in ways that fans have not previously experienced.
Launched to significant acclaim late last year, Justice League Unlimited—featuring the collaborative talents of Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora—has opened its doors to any hero wishing to join. This initiative has led to an unprecedented unification of iconic figures such as Batman, Superman, Captain Atom, and Star Sapphire within a single team.
In an exclusive interview with Popverse, Waid discussed an exciting new storyline titled “We Are Yesterday.” This narrative will traverse different timelines, involving both current and classic versions of the Justice League, and at a pivotal moment in this story, the League purportedly becomes “truly unlimited” for the first time.

Insights from DC Comics Writer Mark Waid
Mark Waid elaborated on how his other series, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest, will intersect with the time-bending elements of “We Are Yesterday.” He highlights specific moments in the narrative where the impact of time travel leads to the League achieving its “truly unlimited” status. Waid notes that Justice League Unlimited #7 will mark this pivotal transformation.
In addition, Waid hinted that Justice League Unlimited #8 will conclude the “We Are Yesterday” arc with stunning visuals from Dan Mora, who is expected to illustrate “800 characters a page” for the finale—an ambitious feat that promises to captivate readers. The implications of what being “truly unlimited” means for the League and its roster have ignited excitement among fans. Will the introduction of past heroes evolve the League’s capabilities, or does “unlimited” suggest new adventures across the vast DC multiverse?

Beginning with Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #38, the “We Are Yesterday” storyline promises a blend of explosive action and poignant character development—an area where Waid has proven to excel. The potential for the League’s roster to expand even further adds an exhilarating twist for fans who have embraced the “everything and the kitchen sink” strategy that Justice League Unlimited has employed thus far. While it’s uncertain how long the League will maintain this “truly unlimited” status, the anticipation for greater things to come cannot be overstated.
