Justice League Unlimited #18

Justice League Unlimited #18, released in 2006, serves as a canonical extension of the popular animated television series developed by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini. Published by DC Comics, this tie-in series was crafted to provide younger readers and fans of the DC Animated Universe with episodic adventures that captured the distinct visual style and character dynamics established in the show, which followed the expansive roster of heroes showcased in the later seasons of the Justice League cartoon.
