Every post so-far this week has showcased Booster Gold's fan-created adventures. It's only fair that Skeets gets equal time.

Booster may have Blue Beetle, but as you can see, Skeets has some friends of his own in Ross Perarsall's Robo Force! This is the third adventure for Robo Force in the pages of Super-Team Family Presents..., and they just keep getting better.

We were talking about him just last week, and Ross Pearsall has already done it again! For a recent Super-Team Family Presents cover, Booster Gold crosses paths with Mike Baron's and Steve Rude's hero of the future, Nexus:

(This is Booster's second Super-Team Family Presents cover in 2016. He previously appeared in the background of Captain America's declaration of war against the Marvel Universe.)

I always love the covers Pearsall creates each day for his site, Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues, as evidenced by the many times I've showcased his previous Booster Gold team-ups. Thanks, Ross.

A few days ago, Booster Gold creator Dan Jurgens made a pretty strong statement on Twitter.

The inspiration for Jurgens' comment was Booster booster Keith Callbeck's post of Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family mash-up cover of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle running from the Hulk. Pearsall's inspiration was the opening splash page of Booster Gold, Volume 2, #34, drawn by Chris Batista in 2010. Specifically, it is this panel by Batista that Jurgens takes issue with:

It's easy to understand Jurgens' dissatisfaction with Batista's choice of poses and expressions. That panel has gained some traction on the Internet in recent years. You may have seen it copied by Blue and Gold cosplayers. Howard Porter's 2015 cover for Justice League 3000 #12 saw a similar scene of the panicked pair.

That wasn't always their reaction to trouble. In their Justice League International heyday, Beetle and Booster were chased by mobs of angry citizens, vampires, middle-eastern dictators, runaway islands, demons, and countless super villains. Yet Kevin Maguire, the artist most associated with the Blue and Gold pairing, never showed Blue and Gold turning tail in fear.

So what's the right way to depict Blue Beetle and Booster Gold running for their lives? Here's Dan Jurgens' take on the scenario in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #7 (2008):

Ok, so maybe Beetle is still scared. But look at Booster. What a hero!

Ross Pearsall specializes in the kinds of mash-ups that DC and Marvel have turned into their summer crossover events. Try and tell me you wouldn't buy this comic:

Can you spot Booster Gold in this line-up?

Blue and Gold are turning up everywhere these days!

Another Booster Gold team-up cover from Ross Pearsall? Yes, please.

I'm sure that sentinels wouldn't be any trouble for our favorite sci-fi, tech-based Justice Leaguers. Besides not being mutants, either one of our heroes is clever enough to reprogram some silly evil robots. Unless they had somehow corrupted Skeets.... Nah, that'll never happen.
