JLA Sonderband #18

In the latest chapter of the Super Buddies' misadventures, the team is caught between a new construction project threatening their headquarters and their own escalating personal lives. As Beatriz and Mary bond over coffee and share an apartment, the group’s usual banter heats up—especially between Booster, Ted, L-Ron, Sue, Ralph, and Max. When a mysterious new ally arrives, introducing himself as Guy Gardner, the dynamics shift in unexpected ways. With Sue’s possible pregnancy adding another layer of tension, the Super Buddies face a challenge that tests both their teamwork and their sense of belonging.

In "Blablablaballaballa," the Super Buddies find their peaceful neighborhood disrupted by the arrival of Guy Gardner, whose relentless charm quickly has everyone on edge—especially Sue Dibny, who’s less than thrilled by his antics. When Booster Gold takes offense at being the group’s constant punching bag, tensions rise, and a fateful moment comes when he picks up an artifact from Dr. Fate’s old collection, accidentally transporting the entire Super Buddies team to hell.

In "Wahnsinn... Warum schickst du mich in die Hölle?", the Super Buddies find themselves unexpectedly stranded in a bizarre, bureaucratic version of Hell where the afterlife feels more like a bad shift at a fast-food joint. While Beatriz DaCosta struggles with poor reception, Mary Batson is powerless, and Ralph Dibny weighs his future as a father, Guy Gardner takes charge—revealing his ring power is back—and launches a rescue mission with Power Girl. As the team adjusts to their strange new reality, Beatriz spots Ice among the customers, sparking uneasy questions about who else might be trapped in this surreal underworld.

In "Frost in der Hölle," Guy Gardner and Power Girl lead a rescue mission through the twisted realms of Hell, where the Super Buddies—Elongated Man, Mary Marvel, Fire, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Etrigan—must navigate a surreal fast food underworld. When Guy discovers his long-lost flame, Ice (Tora Olafsdotter), trapped in this infernal realm, the group must decide how far they’ll go to save her—especially as the rules of the place demand that no one look back, or risk losing her forever.

In "Sehet! Es soll ein Ende kommen!", a group of heroes—among them Guy Gardner, Sue Dibny, Max Lord, and the Super Buddies—find themselves caught in a surreal mirror realm where their darker counterparts have taken over. As the line between reality and reflection blurs, they must confront their own flaws and unite in ways they never thought possible. With a twist of fate and a familiar phrase, the team snaps back to their world, forever changed by the journey.
