I don’t know about you, but whenever I see a copy of a post-crisis Justice League issue, I get confused about when and where it fits into the overall timeline. So, I put together this table to help me not be confused. The titles in bold represent to me the mainline canon of what was known over 50 years ago as “Justice League of America” and what is known today as “Justice League”.
