Eh, the whole being dead storyline, crossover event, with Atlantis disappearing back into the past thing, that is what killed my JLA love.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Over a couple years, Grant Morrison, followed ably by Mark Waid and with fill-ins by the likes of Mark Millar, had made the JLA everything it was supposed to be--competent, intense and high-powered.
Any good paperbacks from that era? I read a lot of JLA from back when there were multiple Earths (via my brothers stash). I'm curious what good JLA would be like now.
edited to clarify because I'm not THAT old yet.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

See, I could have forgiven that. The Nightwing, et al., side of it was fun,and ultimately, it was a convoluted story, but at least it had the scope and scale of, well, the JLA.
And did I mention that the alien shape-changing ape was name Pepe?

This is totally off topic, but I suddenly want a run of X called "Unsightly X-Men."

Dear loward. That sounds like a very un-Denny storyline.

Newarama has just posted some pencilled pages of Astonishing X-Men #2, and Cassaday's depiction of The Beast could qualify.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Beast has been pretty unbecoming for a while. But he's franchise. They can't kill him.
Know what I love about Jean Grey's death? Everyone's all "well, she is The Phoenix. She may be back. Are you free for coffee?"
