Super-Team Ups Continue

I don't know how Ross Pearsall does it, but he continues to churn out some amazing covers at Super-Team Family Presents.... In the past week alone, he's given us pairings of Groot and Chewbacca, Sgt. Rock and Cobra Commander, and Captain Carrot and Donald Duck. Whew!

But what earns him his latest mention here on Boosterrific.com is the return of Skeets' all-robot super team, Robo Force:

Super-Team Family Presents #1850

Skeets versus Brainiac! Why hasn't that happened in DC Comics before now?

As a bonus, check out this cover featuring the Blue Beetle's new partner.

Super-Team Family Presents #1855

Thanks for all your hard work, Ross.

A Man For All Seasons

The Blot's Booster Gold sketchbook grew by one at Houston's Comicpalooza last weekend. Check out this commission from Kevin Maguire:

Booster looks so serious. No doubt, he's just as frustrated by his prolonged absence from comic books as we are.

Here's a Maguire Booster sketch from happier times:

Obviously, Booster's happier in the high collar. Aren't we all?

This second commission comes from Matt Santori, who shared his commissioned sketch on Twitter in 2013. It's four years old and still looking Boosterrific!

Change We Can Believe In

In March, we learned that DC Collectibles doesn't think there's a market for Booster Gold and Blue Beetle figures.

George Pooley wants to prove them wrong.

George has created an online petition with the goal of convincing DC to change their minds and give us the figures we wanted so badly. He's looking for a minimum of 100 signatures. Will you be one of them?

Add your name at Change.org.

This Day in History: Generation Deleted

On this day seven years ago, DC released Justice League: Generation Lost #1. It was a good story, proving that the "Bwah-Ha-Ha" era Justice League was more than just a bunch of clowns. They were a family who, even when the chips were down, always got the job done. (Eventually.)

The ending of this popular, year-long series promised us a new Justice League International only to see the events of "Flashpoint" erase this story from history one month later. (I still haven't forgiven Barry Allen.) The Justice League International of the New 52 technically fulfilled that promise, but that team had nothing to do with the one, true JLI.

Oh, well. We still have our back issues.

Dave Does Draw Good

Free Comic Book Day 2017 was this past Saturday, and artist Dave Acosta (of Vampirella and Red Sonja fame) was signing and sketching for fans at Detroit Comics. He posted pics of much of his work on his Twitter feed (@davedrawsgood), including a sketch of this handsome hero.

The high collar never goes out of style!
