description JLA Overview
JLA is a DC Comics superhero series relaunched in 1997 by writer Grant Morrison and artist Howard Porter, featuring DC's flagship Justice League characters. Morrison's approach positioned the team—including Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman—against large-scale threats to Earth and reality itself. The series was part of a broader effort to revitalize DC's team titles with high-concept storytelling and prominent characters. Morrison's run on JLA is regarded as influential in modern superhero comics for its ambitious scope and creative use of the publisher's roster.
