Was both insanely imaginative and really funny,and it didn't take itself too seriously. Then Dan Jurgens took over and ruined it (damn him!).Formerly Known as the Justice League has Maxwell Lord gatheringall the 'forgotten' heroes of that JL incarnation (the ones that aren'tin any other teams right now or aren't dead) and created his own 'rival' Justice League, 'The Superbuddies' (actually, originally meant to be 'Superfriends' but DC wouldn't allow it). It's fun bit of nostalgia(this is the Justice League I grew up with).</blockquote>
