JLA/The 99 is an Americancomic booklimited series andintercompany crossover betweenDC Comics andTeshkeel Comics. The series chronicled a meeting between thesuperheroes of DC Comics'Justice League of America and Teshkeel Comics'The 99. It was written byFabian Nicieza andStuart Moore, and drawn by Tom Derenick.

The plot of the series revolved around a worldwide threat that forces the members of The 99 and the Justice League to work together in order to save the planet.
