Boosterrific Review: Fittingly Booster Gold appears in all but 6 pages of this story advertised as "His Last Battle." The issue features a no-holds-barred battle between Booster and Supernova, during which both combatants let fly verbal jabs almost as punishing as their physical attacks. It is yet another credit to the pacing and storytelling of this series that you don't realize that it has only been 7 weeks since Supernova first appeared, leaving very little time for teh writers to create such believeable animosity between the two characters who are barely even rivals. Events of this issue represent a crucial bit of history for Booster Gold and certainly qualifies as a "must read" issue.
Boosterrific Rating: Boosterrific!
