My Favorite Pages: Justice League Intl 25
In addition to being the final issue of Justice League International volume 1 (next issue the team will be downsized to just Justice League America), Justice League International #25 is also the first book-length team-up between Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. Historic!
My favorite page comes early, which is probably not a surprise to those of you who know that Ty Templeton is one of my favorite artists. He only drew the intro and outro pages of this issue (over Keith Giffen's layouts), with the rest handled by Mike McKone (also over Giffen).
But it's not just the art I love; almost every panel on page 3 has its own punchline!
Despite the early (and often) jokes, the main plot of this team-up issue is a vampire hunt that turns into an overt criticism of Western consumer culture which, in Twilight Zone style, questions who the real monsters are on plane Earth. As Booster and Beetle (and the reader) will eventually realize, it just might be our heroes.

You'll Need Your Old Uniform
I recently saw this piece for sale at a very decent price and decided that I had to own it.
As you can see, that's page 9 of Booster Gold Volume 2 #33, with pencils by Chris Batista and inks by Rich Perotta and Prentis Rollins. Which of the two inked this page? Did one do foregrounds and the other backgrounds? I don't know.
What I do know is why I chose this page as my first ever piece of original comic book art. As Rip Hunter can tell you, it's all about the collar.

Strange Tales
The Booster Gold/Blue Beetle team-up story you can't buy this week resides exclusively at Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family Presents... blog at braveandboldlost.blogspot.com.
Blue and Gold seem a little out of their depth here, but when has that ever stopped them before? Keep up the good work, Ross.

Cort's Magnficient Seven
Cort Carpenter has dedicated himself to compiling the World's Best Booster Gold Sketchbook. And it just keeps getting better!
Take a gander at these seven newest additions:
Heather Antos
Russ Braun
Kerry Callen
Mike Choi
Travis Mercer
Rachel Ordway
Joshua "Sway" Swaby
By my count, that's 106 different commissions Cort has now shared with us over the years. I'm sure I speak for Booster boosters everywhere when I say we sure like looking at them.

Christmas Present from Cort
Cort Carpenter sent me an email full of his best holiday wishes, and even better, he attached his latest addition to his Booster Gold Sketchbook:
Even if it wasn't signed, that piece is pretty obviously by John McCrea, co-creator of DC's Hitman.
Cort usually requests his commissions include Booster Gold's fabulous high collar, but this time McCrea even included the original hollow star and the bulbs on the end of Skeets' fins. Boosterrific!
Thanks, Cort!
