She appears only in this issue and New Titans Annual #5, which incidentally is the next appearance of all eight as the JLE. Wonder Woman never formally leaves the group; in fact her membership isn't even addressed until Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #49 and further by the League members themselves in Wonder Woman Vol. 2 #50. |
