My favorite JL character has to be Blue Beetle. Because nothing bothers him. He just doesn't care, and hilarious!

I like a lot of you choices. Especially “The Nail” “ Kingdom Come” and “Tower of Babel”. I do think calling the original Crisis on Infinite Earths a Justice League story is a bit of a stretch but I will allow it, lol. You hold the New 52 in much higher regard then I do. I felt the stories were average JL adventures at best and Jim Lee’s art is the best thing about the book. They definitely wouldn’t make my Top Twenty but I have been reading Justice League for almost 40 years and have seen and read much better. But we all are entitled to our opinions on favorite stories so who am I to judge right lol. I will throw out one you might not have read. Justice League of America #171(10/1979)-#172(11/1979). It’s one of the annual JLA/JSA Earth1&2 crossover stories. It’s basically “Who Killed Mister Terrific” it kinda opens the door for Michael Holt to take up the mantle in the late 90’s. Great Bronze Age superhero team story in my humble opinion. Check it out if you can.

I absolutely loved this video. Great, great list here with some heavy hitters. I’ve read most but not all of these, which I need to get around to, kudos to you my man. And I’m right there with you on Injustice! I love it. Can’t wait for the animated movie

The best mate! i like the way you narrate and explain! your knowledge is huge! you should become a DC ambassador!

As a life-long Justice League fan with my complete collection going back to Justice League of America #1 (the 1960 original) I was looking forward to this video. Great analysis as always. I assumed I'd have ALL the issues you showcased (minus the book from 2019 since I stopped getting new issues of comics in 2018) so I was stunned that I missed your #1 from 2013 and don't have that series. Will check it out. Big fan of the Steve Englehart run from the late 70s of which you mentioned a key issue.

Great work on the video. I avoided Injustice but will definitely check it out now.

For me Kindom Come is my personal favorite. Followed by injustice.

Thank you for some older league title inclusions. I already have issue 200 and you have provided some focus on some other interesting issues to get. Also, now I know where that justice league animated story regarding the manhunters originated from.

Glad you got around to another comics recommendation post! Sorry you had problems uploading this vid.

No.19 seems pretty interesting,good video glad to see some books from my collection here

Awesome List

Justice League Of America #140 was adapted in the episodes "In Blackest Night Parts 1 and 2" from the Justice League animated series. Only the Green lantern their was John Stewart.

I loved world war 3 by Morrison. Possibly my favorite from his run.

Like your content keep the info coming

I love all the What If/Elseworlds stories, but have avoided Injustice for the reason you mentioned. Looks like I'm going to have to pick it up now!

Good list!

Thanks for the video! Favorite JL member - Superman!

Great list. I would add a couple honorable mentions: Justice League of America 171-172, a classic team up with the Justice Society to find out who killed Mr. Terrific, and JLA World Without Grownups which features younger heroes who are sidekicks/associates of Justice Leaguers (Tim Drake as Robin, Cassie Sandsmark as Wonder Girl, Superboy from Return of Superman, Impulse).

Batman is my favorite character. But as far as Justice League I really enjoyed the early JLA run with Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern and Wally West as Flash.

I need to go read all of these. Or re-read for some of them.

Great vid! Quick question on your no 1. Mentioned that not much pre-reading is necessary, but what would you suggest?

For historical purposes, I would add Flash 123,129,137 then Justice League of America 21 & 22. as must reads. They laid the groundwork. Thanks for the list.

Issue #200 is my favorite. It is self-contained in one Issue and puts the original 7 v the newer members against each other, then the original 7 team up with the others to defeat the enemy. No ads - just a compelling story.

Amazing list James!

You mentioned the Tower of Babel sequel, but I'd have LOVED to see an honorable mention of the JSA sequel to Kingdom Come by GJ with tons of beautiful art by Alex Ross. Other than that, a terrific video! But where's the JSA love!?!

Just completed my single issue collection of Crisis on Infinite Earths today…found #1, 6, & 7 all in back issue bins for cheap!

I need to read all most of these TBH. The JL books that I did read are: Scott Snyder's run on JL JLA The Tornado's Path JL:Throne of Atlantis and currently,Justice League:Infinity

Great video man! Year One is such a fun and underrated read!

I've read most of these and they're great, but Kingdom Come and Justice after it?......God I love Alex Ross's work!

I've read all except 3 of the single issued old-school ones. Damn the nail and another nail were fantastic and infinite crisis is number 1 to me then injustice and did you notice the jla Morrison first issues those criminals being executed were wolverine and dr doom

I only have 4 of these.. Haven't even heard of the others! As for favourite JLA member, its Batman (is he officially a member? Or still 'part-time' haha) for the simple reason that he is unlike all of the rest. He's willing to do what most of them wouldn't if it means protecting the innocent. I liked him ever since I was old enough, and loved him 100x more because of Tower of Babel. When I first read that, it was insane how he had been keeping secret files on each of them, but then at the end, when they're voting and it comes down to Superman, you don't know how the vote goes because he left the tower. Man, so damn good. Just the fact that he's THAT level of paranoid and prepared is the reason he's my fave. 🦇 = 💯💯💯

Not bad list. JLI def should have been on the list. John Stewart was my favourite character in the animated show.

Solid recommendations - glad to see Rock of Ages on here!

Here early for the dope content 🙋🏾‍♂️

Nice

I've never been a Justice League reader but some of these look worth checking out. Thanks for the info!

Basically just read Grant Morisson’s JLA run

Glad to see "DC: The New Frontier" on the list. Speaking from September 2022, "Batman: Fortress" has been good so far. And so has "Superman: Space Age." Both have been good Justice League stories so far, despite being Batman and Superman titles.

Ive love all the stories you mentioned except for injustice, i really HATE tha book, but the list overall is pretty good

After watching this video I realize that I need to read some more jla stories

been scooping up Batman 609 1st Hush, i think thats a sleeper. also found some Strange Tales #169, 2 to be exact...didnt know i had them..

Here's an idea: Review all the "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" or maybe only all Batman animated movies. There's a box set from a few years ago with 18 of the Batman animated movies for $50 new. I haven't seen all the Batman ones, but I have been disappointed by many of the ones I have seen. Oh, and I hope there will be a "Yard Sale Part Two(and Three) this fall. I'd go back to the guy with the Batman longbox and Daredevil comic book. He. Has. More.

Wow I didn’t get this notification I got lucky I checked.

Shoutout to anyone who saw this yesterday lol!

Favorite JLAer? BATMAN! Always Batman. It was JLA books that first got me started in comics back in the mid 70s. I was digging it when they showed the headshots of each hero along the sides of the covers.

200 is great

I really like the Injustice series, I just wish they had an actual comic of the video game (not that lame Harley Quin one) and I never understood why they didn't just make that comic.

A story I loved that nobody seems to care about is Justice League Europe #15-19 The Extremists Vector. It just hit all the right notes for me back in the day.

Glad to see someone giving Justice League some love. With the exception of about 3 on your list, I have or have read the rest. Any thoughts on Dark, Odyssey, Elite, International, Europe and other Elseworlds stories? Thanks.

I just bought Tower of Babel Excited to read it for the first time

Damn I miss grant Morrison's jla run, it's my fav justice league run of all! My fav jla character is probably Wally west flash, but I also loved booster gold in justice league international

Dark Nights Metal not a Justice League story?

Reupload?

Not a fan but I'll still give you a 👍

Justice League is DC Avengers. They deserve a great movie trilogy. I like the comics from the 1980s and later. Really good writers did make great stories for us all. Just DC Rebirth's Justice League was not so good.🖖

Damn that host is hawt

What is your favorite image title ever? Mines definitely invincible.

No Identity Crisis?

Liked again

Tower of Babel maybe is good but the art is horribel and therefore hard to read

JOHN JONES GAVE A LEADERSHIP AND HUMANITY TO JLA..

I just made it through the video and went back to re-hear what you said on #1....and the video was taken down.

Admittedly outside of the Giffen/DeMatteis stuff I haven’t read much Justice League. Inside that knowledge however I’d say that JLI Annual 2 provides a very satisfying self contained story that I find to be infinitely re-readable. I’ve really gotta check out Grant Morrison’s run on the book, as I’ve liked a lot of his other DC work.

The 52 was not necessary. No need to restart the DC Universe.

bruh

Injustice is soooooo good. I'm pretty sure that's what Snyder was working to, and I would have loved it, I'm sure

Harley Quinn is part of the team with super man, Batman, Wonder Woman. The justice league.

How can the new frontuer get a A plus ???!! The art is awful and cartoonish!!
