1. The JLA
After years and years of the Justice League being fun B-listers, it was time to bring it back to basics.
Superman. Batman. Wonder Woman. Kyle Rayner, The Green Lantern, Wally West, The Flash. The Martian Manhunter. Aquaman. The Big Seven.
The team formed for Grant Morrison’s legendary run on the book, from the opening chapter of New World Order to the bombshell that is World War III. This is easily the best run of all time, and it cements the JLA team as the greatest Justice League team of all time.
What separates it from other Big Seven-inclusive teams is the eras and incarnations of the characters. We get Wally West Flash and Kyle Rayner Green Lantern, who are easily the best versions of both characters. We get hook-handed Aquaman and (at least temporarily) Electric Superman. Look, we get Rock of Ages with this team. Rock of Ages is crazy excellent. The best JLA book, and the best JLA team to go along with it.
And there you go! The League has always been great, and great it remains. But obviously, there have been numerous teams, so your favorite might not have made the list. If so, let me know (politely), because I’d love to hear about more great JLA teams that I missed out on!
