Blue Devil #18 is an issue of the series Blue Devil (Volume 1) with a cover date of November, 1985.
Synopsis for "The Last Parallel World Story!"
In an unnamed alternate universe, the local counterparts of Dan Cassidy, Norm Paxton, Sharon Scott, Marla Bloom and Eddie Bloomberg are on a spaceship filming the destruction of their universe due to the Crisis on Infinite Earths. But just seconds before the end of their universe, they are sucked into a black hole and emerge in the Earth-One universe, just in time to rescue Blue Devil and the Omega Men from perishing in open space.
The extra-dimensional visitors explain the history of their universe, where all technological development revolves around the movie industry. Then they begin disappearing, one-by-one. The Omega Men are OK with this, thinking they can then take their ship and return to the Vega system. However, parts of the ship start disappearing too. Blue Devil figures out that multiverse is trying to right itself by sending the visitors and their ship back to their home universe, but since it doesn't exist, they are being shunted into a inter-dimensional limbo where they can still see Earth-One, but not interact with it. Blue Devil is able to collaborate with the other Dan Cassidy (because they think alike) and stabilize the vibrational rate of the visitors, restoring them them (and their ship) to Earth-One.
The visitors then reveal their ship has a teleporter, which they use to successfully send the Omega Men to the New Citadel in the Vega system. But when they try to send Blue Devil to Jock Verner's office on Earth, he disappears instead.
