ANNOTATIONS

Page 3, panel 1
Bloodwynd I, Blue Beetle II, Booster Gold, Fire, Guy Gardner, Maxima, and Wonder Woman stand confronted by four undead giants apparently commanded by Ewald.

Page 7, panel 1
POWER DOWN: Beetle and Booster flee from a giant wielding an enormous flail. Booster finally confirms that his armored suit is capable of independent flight without his Legion Flight Ring. Unfortunately, his suit is malfunctioning and he is not wearing his ring.

Page 8, panel 5
As Booster tries to reinforce Beetle's collapsed self-esteem by telling him that he "could be another Batman," the pair is surrounded by angry minions of Eward. Traditionally, Beetle is portrayed more like Marvel Comics flagship character Spider-Man rather than DC's Dark Knight Detective.

Page 15, panel 3
Beetle and Booster are cornered by Eward...

Page 16, panel 1
...only moments before Ice arrives for her final confrontation with Ewald.

REVIEWS

Boosterrific Review: The long simmering storyline of Ice's dysfunctional family life is brought to a conclusion in this issue, which is little more than an issue long domestic dispute flavored with the subtle tease of a mass conspiracy.
