JLA: Classified

    (DC, 2005–2008)
™ and © 2005 DC Comics, Inc.

After writer Joe Kelly and artist Doug Mahnke’s “The Obsidian Age” wrapped up in the pages of JLA, editor Mike Carlin gave the title over to rotating creative teams, claiming that most writers and artists have at least one really good Justice League story to tell. When creative reins were handed over to writer Kurt Busiek and artist Ron Garney, DC launched this companion title to give those rotating writers and artists a place to tell their JLA stories.

Joined by artist Ed McGuinness, writer Grant Morrison returned to the team he successfully relaunched for DC in 1997 with a no–holds–barred, both–barrels–blazing story involving the International Ultramarine Corps and Gorilla Grodd. Make no mistake about it: this is big ol’ wahoo fun—a true super–hero fest, with European versions of the JLA members joining the fray. Morrison ably demonstrates that he knows how to tell an old–fashioned super–hero tale, and more greatness—from a return to the BWAHAHAHA era with Keith Giffen, J.M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire to a classic turn by John Byrne and Roger Stern—lies in wait.
