JLA quickly became DC's best-selling title, a position it enjoyed on and off for several years. Additionally, the team received a new headquarters, the " Watchtower", based on the Moon. This series, in an attempt at a "back-to-basics" approach, used as its core the team's original and most famous seven members (or their successors): Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash ( Wally West), Green Lantern ( Kyle Rayner), and the Martian Manhunter.

DeMatteis wrote issues #27, 32 and 35, respectively. Mark Millar, Devin Grayson and Mark Waid, and J.M. JLA #18-#21 and #33 were written by Mark Waid. Morrison stayed as writer for the series through issue #41, though several issues had fill-in writers. In 1997, DC Comics launched a new Justice League series titled JLA, written by Grant Morrison with art by Howard Porter and inker John Dell. A Justice League of America formed in the September 1996 limited series Justice League: A Midsummer's Nightmare by Mark Waid and Fabian Nicieza. The low sales of the various Justice League spin-off books by the mid-1990s prompted DC to revamp the League as a single team (all the various branch teams were disbanded) on a single title. When relaunched by writer Grant Morrison, the team again focused on the most recognizable, powerful, and long-lasting heroes in DC's library. The series restarted DC's approach to the Justice League, which had initially featured most of the company's top-tier superheroes but shifted in the 1980s to featuring a rotating cast of established characters alongside newer ones and also saw that franchise expand to several spin-off series, diluting the prestige of the name brand. JLA was a monthly comic book published by DC Comics from January 1997 to April 2006 featuring the Justice League of America (JLA, Justice League).
