My Favorite Pages: Millennium 6

Booster Gold makes only a small cameo in Millennium #4, and we only hear about him in Millennium #5 when we (and Mister Bones) eavesdrop on a conversation between siblings Jade and Obsidian.

It's not until Millennium #6 when we see our hero finally return to full-page action. Three pages of action, actually. And I have to say he puts on a pretty good showing for himself despite siding with the Manhunters.

Booster's rarely-seen Absorbing Field wins the day, temporarily incapacitating both Batman and a Green Lantern. Even if you are on the wrong side of this conflict, Booster, that's impressive.

And that's why this is one of My Favorite Pages.

that makes me wonder..when was the last time this power actually got used or even mentioned? It felt to me that it simply seemed as "too much", combined with all the other tech he is already using. Less in the sense of being too powerful, but more like just another "random" technologly stacked on top his more often used ones.

I point you to this blog post:

Since most Booster comics are written by Jurgens, and he chose to abandon the concept, that's probably why we haven't seen it since the cancellation of BOOSTER GOLD volume 1.

I had my eyes glued to the screen watching, "My Adventures with Superman," looking for any mention of Booster. They mention a, "Mrs. Jurgens" but I doubt thats due to his work with Booster. Always good to see Dan get recognition though!

Did you ever notice that during the entire Giffen Justice League run we never saw Booster use any of his powers/gadgets except for his force field and flight ring?

I honestly don't think we ever saw Booster use his wrist blasters in the JLA until the Jurgens run, for esxample. Could be wrong....

You made me go look. But I didn't have to look far. He uses the Booster Shots in his very first JLI adventure in JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL 1. Then again in JLI #11. So yeah, he might not use them as frequently as he uses his force field, but he does use them.

Ok, interesting. Sorry I genuinely couldn't recall an instance of him using his Booster shots during the JLI era.
