POWER DOWN: The force field in Booster's new armor is deactivated after stopping just one hit. This is a far cry from the invulnerable force field that Booster is accustomed to.

Beetle attempts to repair Booster's armor during a break in the battle. Beetle suggests that the new armor, little more than a prototype, will not hold up much longer under the stress of combat.
Boosterrific Review: The Justice League versus Vikings and, um, undead Vikings, which, like this issue, is rather pedestrian for the august Justice League.
Boosterrific Rating: Gold Standard.
