DC Comics Classics Library: Justice League of America by George Perez #2

In "Targets on Two Worlds," the Justice League of America faces a cunning threat as the Secret Society of Super-Villains, led by the Ultra-Humanite, launches a coordinated assault to capture ten heroes—five from the JLA and five from the JSA—using foes who know them best. With the fate of Earth-One and Earth-Two hanging in the balance during the next cosmic wave cycle, the heroes must defend themselves against a plan that exploits their deepest connections.

In "Countdown to Crisis!", the Ultra-Humanite executes his grand scheme, seizing the Earth-Two Superman and adding him to a line of imprisoned heroes in suspended animation—each a step toward his ultimate control over Earth-Two. With the last container filled, the stage is set for his dominion, as the Secret Society's grip tightens across the multiverse.

In "Crisis in Limbo!", the Earth-One members of the Secret Society find themselves stranded after Earth-Two's heroes vanish—except for ten trapped in suspended-animation chambers. When they realize Ultra orchestrated the collapse, they must race to reclaim limbo and free the imprisoned heroes before it’s too late.

In "Chapter 1: Firestrom, the Nuclear Man vs. Manhunter from Mars," Firestorm’s quiet watch aboard the satellite is shattered when the Martian Manhunter infiltrates the JLA’s command center, seeking an Appellax meteor. After a swift and decisive defeat, Firestorm summons the rest of the League—only to discover the founding members are missing, their absence tied to a mission from the team’s earliest days. With the meteors now scattered and the stakes rising, the new heroes split up, each racing to intercept one of the original JLA members before the Appellax threat escalates.

In "Chapter 2: The Phantom Stranger, Aquaman vs. Red Tornado," the Red Tornado stands in Aquaman’s path as he races to recover a mysterious meteor, their clash a clash of wills and power. Just as the fight reaches its peak, the enigmatic Phantom Stranger steps in—his motives unclear, his presence shifting the balance of the confrontation.

In "Chapter 5: The Flash vs. the Elongated Man," the speedster's victory over the stretchy hero takes a sudden turn when he returns to the Justice League’s original headquarters—only to find it in ruins and the team’s founding members with no memory of their shared past beyond their first mission together.

In "Chapter 6: Green Arrow, Black Canary vs. Batman," the Dark Knight once again proves his tactical edge, outmaneuvering both Green Arrow and Black Canary to claim the Appellax meteor for himself. With the hunt for the seventh meteor still underway, each hero retreats to their own base, each wondering what the next discovery might bring.

In "Chapter 7: Hawkman vs. Superman," the Man of Steel’s arrival on Earth takes a dangerous turn when two robotic duplicates of him race to claim the Appellax meteor. Hawkman, determined to stop them, battles the machines only to find himself outmatched by the real Superman’s arrival. As he drifts unconscious into space, a mysterious force suddenly teleports him away—leaving his fate unknown and the stakes higher than ever.
