☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume continues DC's reprint series collecting classic Silver Age team-ups between the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America, originally published in the 1960s and early 1970s. It gathers stories that further explore the concept of the Multiverse, as heroes from Earth-1 and Earth-2 join forces to confront threats that span their parallel worlds. Key tales include the first meeting of the JLA and JSA with the Freedom Fighters and the introduction of the villainous Crime Syndicate of Earth-3.
In "The Super-Crisis That Struck Earth-Two!", the Justice Society of America, now with an adult Robin among their ranks, faces a terrifying foe: four ordinary people empowered by mysterious black matter from another universe. When their battle ends in defeat, they call on the JLA for help—only to find their counterparts just as broken, their strength sapped by the same strange force. Together, the two teams must uncover the source of the black matter before it consumes both Earth-Two and Earth-One.
In "The Negative Crisis on Earths One-Two!", the Justice League and Justice Society join forces to confront the Black-Sphered Villains on Earth-2, where artificial black matter empowers four heroes—only to risk turning them corrupt. As the line between hero and villain blurs, the remaining heroes find unexpected help from the very ones they must stop, guided by subconscious instincts to exploit hidden weaknesses. With the balance of power hanging in the balance, the crisis escalates across Earths One and Two, testing the limits of courage and resolve.
In "The Stormy Return of the Red Tornado!", a mysterious new Red Tornado crashes into a Justice Society meeting, claiming to be the original hero. As the JSA grapples with his sudden arrival and his strange interference during their battles—each time causing their victories to end in apparent death—they must question his true motives. When the truth points to T.O. Morrow's manipulation, the new Tornado sets out to Earth-One, seeking the Justice League’s help before the deception consumes them all.
In "T. O. Morrow Kills the Justice League -- Today!", the villainous T. O. Morrow unleashes a terrifying plan that sees him conquer both the Justice League on Earth-One and the Justice Society on Earth-Two. With his supercomputer unraveling the fabric between realities, he aims to destroy both Earths, but Red Tornado rallies the surviving heroes to stand against him. As the multiverse trembles, the fate of both teams hangs in the balance.
In "Star Light, Star Bright—Death Star I See Tonight!", Red Tornado delivers a dire warning to the JSA about Aquarius, a once-malevolent stellar entity who returns with a hunger for reincarnation, seizing Starman’s Cosmic Rod to regain form. With Earth-2 on the brink of annihilation, a desperate few hold on to hope as they shield themselves in a mystical bubble, while Red Tornado races across realities to rally the JLA.
In "Where Death Fears to Tread!", the JLA arrives to aid the JSA in their battle against the formidable Aquarius, but as the fight escalates, the combined energies of Fate and Green Lantern (Alan) begin to falter within their protective bubble. With their strength fading, Aquarius intervenes—saving them only to seize control, forcing them to turn on their allies. As Starman’s rod surges with power, an overwhelming energy sphere forms, threatening to end Black Canary’s life, trapped by one of Green Arrow’s adhesive shafts. When her husband Larry breaks free from Aquarius’s hold, he makes a final, desperate sacrifice to save her. The two teams regroup, determined to stop Aquarius—but the cost leaves Black Canary shattered, ultimately leaving the JSA to begin anew on Earth-1.
In "Peril of the Paired Planets," Red Tornado is taken by a mysterious enemy known only as Creator2, whose mastery of vibrational energy sets off a chain of crises across Earth-1 and Earth-2. As the JSA and JLA face escalating threats tailored to their doppelgängers, the two worlds teeter on the edge of collapse—each team fighting not just the enemy, but the unsettling echoes of their own counterparts.
In "Where Valor Fails... Will Magic Triumph?", the remaining heroes of the JSA face off against the seemingly unstoppable Creator2, whose scientific might has overwhelmed their conventional tactics. With science failing, they turn to ancient magic in a desperate bid to turn the tide—just as Red Tornado breaks free from control, unleashing a pivotal shift in the battle. The fallen doppelgangers of Earth 1 and 2 begin to recover as the tide turns.
