Justice League America #61 officially kicked off the Dan Jurgens era of the Justice League International. And it has a lot of fun moments, from villains and weapons originally appearing in the Silver Age Justice League of America, to the opening panel callback to the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League #1, to having Booster Gold return to the team full time, to seeing Superman put Maxwell Lord in his place, to reading Blue Beetle accuse Weapons Master of pulling "a big boner."

Choosing a single favorite page in this one was especially difficult because while I enjoyed many of the panels and bits of dialogue, they are pretty evenly distributed, meaning few pages stand out as a whole. So I ultimately settled on page 3, which introduces Maxima, mostly because I like the flow of the art from panel to panel, especially how Maxima's hair meanders through those last two panels.

I also like that Booster Gold comes across as the rational one on this new team. Someone's got to be the adult in the room (at least when Superman isn't around).
