Boosterrific Review: Booster Gold’s role in this issue is small and irrelevant to the story within. Nonetheless, this is another worthwhile read, introducing the cosmic team that makes up the seventh major storyline of the series (following Booster Gold, The Question, Ralph Dibny, Black Adam, Steel vs. Lex Luthor, and the Science Squad). If it is possible to enjoy a comic book without Booster Gold, this should qualify.
Boosterrific Rating: Gold Standard.
