Booster Gold's role in this story:
Cameo (Booster Gold makes a minor appearance)
Costume Worn: MARK I power-suit
Issue Notes: Superman diamond chronology "1991:34." This issue presents the aftermath to the conclusion of the summer-long "Armageddon 2001" event featured in the DC Comics Annuals.
Boosterrific Review: Monarch's assault on Metropolis is used as the setting for the origin tale of the second Atomic Skull, enriching the epilogue for the crossover Armageddon 2001 storyline while still promoting the serial style of storytelling in the Superman family of titles. An enjoyable read for fans of Superman and the heroes of the DC Universe, though less Armageddon 2001-centric than might be expected.
Boosterrific Rating: Gold Standard.
