Tom versus the JLA number 197 or I almost didn't do this episode because I was too busy counting jewels.

Welcome back for Justice League of America number 197, the December 1981 issue entitled Crisis in Limbo, written by Jerry Conway with pencils by Keith Pollard and George Perez, Romayton, In Inker, Ben Oda Letter, Carl Gafford, Colorist, Len Ween editor,

featuring a cover by George Perez.

Awesome cover, two, of our assembled heroes matching up against the villains,

and we're looking at it from the viewpoint of the villains.

Very intimidating.

This is the conclusion of the three-part

JLA, JSA crossover to catch you up. JLA, JSA, five members each team have been captured by

ultra-humanite who believes that by putting them in limbo, Earth 2 will lose its heroes. He's recruited

villains from Earth 1. They don't know Earth 2 is going to get the benefit. I'm really sick of

saying which Earth that's on. I can see why Crisis came along now. We start off the story with

Ultra Humanite having put the heroes in his collectible tubes and centrifuge. All of his

figures with their many points of articulation, he gets the centrifuge spinning and it disappears

into limbo.

The villains, suspicious because things haven't immediately changed.

Villains are a suspicious lot and they start turning on ultra-humanite,

especially the mist goes to make a move, but

Ultrahumanite says that there's some sort of crest in the wave of probability in 120 seconds,

and at that point, we'll know if the plan works. Of course, being a comic book, we don't get that

awkward two minutes, as they're all just sort of standing around silently, waiting to see if reality

itself resets. Next panel, of course, as they're really starting to get pissed off.

We get some crazy panels of reality shifting.
