Page 18, panel 1

Following the battle, a battered Booster is tended to by Blue Beetle.
Boosterrific Review: Gail Simone's dialogue sparkles as always, but the events of this issue feel contrived, an ending shoehorned unnaturally into place for a book that is being canceled.
Boosterrific Rating: Gold Standard.
