JLA (1997) Issue #62.
Shoutout to this moment where the JLA do a psychic mind meeting and we see how they show themselves in their minds. Kind of obsessed with mental Diana dressed in traditional dress and wrapped in the Lasso of truth…
what are some comics you like for helena depicting her time in the justice league? (jla, jli, what have you)
I haven't read Justice League International or Justice League America (i need to and it's on the list though), but I've read basically all of Huntress' appearances in the JLA era so I can comment on that.
TLDR: In particular, I like JLA: Foreign Bodies because they actually feel like a team there as opposed to like a special ops squad. I like the scene in JLA #39 where Huntress tries to kill Prometheus and Batman fires her. edit: JLA #32 is Huntress-centric and Devin Grayson gives her some nice moments, with some heart.
An issue I have with Morrison's or Waid's JLA broadly is that it does not tend to be very character-driven ever. Most focus is dedicated to the greater-than-life science-fictional elements. Most of the problems are solved with these (supposedly) "4-D chess" gotcha moments as opposed to like idk teamwork? characters' using their unique abilities in tandem? So the stakes never feel personal, and characters are never developed. So much plot but no emotional core.
So, i wouldn't say JLA is a must read for any one character. Huntress has her moments but spends most the time either as a foot soldier or sneaking around looking for clues. That said, she displays more personality than basically everyone besides Batman because she is notably direct, abrasive and very willing to be brutal. I like that she gets fired too, it's the strongest character moment I've read in this series, although short. She also has a fun dynamic with Kyle Rayner, like they probably sat together during lunch at the Watchtower.

eel you're talking to the wrong person. go find kyle who if not a gamer has watched enough shonen power leveling animes to be willing to enter on this journey with you.
JLA (1997) #38
Shout-out to JLA's Tenth Circle storyline in which:
The JLA fight a vampire
The Doom Patrol gets reintroduced
Superman gets mind-controlled
Wonder Woman almost dies
Batman makes a bad pun
Okay we’re back to her being in the foreground for the next few issues.
