JLA Midsummer's Nightmare & Grant Morrison's JLA #1

Turning point:  By 1996 the late-1980s Justice League International approach was losing steam, so DC again rebooted the Justice League and went back to basics, with the "Magnificent Seven" of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Flash and Green Lantern embodying the team just as they had way back in Brave & Bold #28.  The twist was this team incorporated the then-new versions of Flash and Green Lantern, specifically Wally West & Kyle Rayner.  The new/old team was formed in the 3-issue mini-series Justice League Midsummer's Nightmare, co-written by Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza, before launching in JLA #1 written by Grant Morrison. All four issues offered here.

L. Garcia-Lopez art) and additional Batman stories with art by Walt Simonson and Carmine Infantino.  Robin and Deadman make appearances in the latter story.  Fine Plus condition.  No color-breaking creases.  Corners are abraded.  The left-hand edge of the back cover was cut out-of-square at the printer, resulting in the white strip visible on the back cover scan.

6. Batman: Holy Terror. This is a squarebound Elseworlds graphic novel written by Brennert and drawn by Norm Breyfogle.  Fine / Very Fine condition: there are reading creases along the spine, both on the front cover and the back cover (common with these squarebound books).
