Frankly, Justice League America #89 is just as ugly as its predecessor, all open mouths and jagged lines with no connectivity between panels. It's the comic book equivalent of trying to watch a blockbuster action movie on a scrambled pay cable channel. (Yes, that's the very definition of a dated reference, but this comic did come out a century ago.)

For all its many faults, there's still page 10:

Foreshadow much? Don't worry, Ted. Booster won't die in the suit. Technically.

Last week Booster Gold surprised us a bit by turning up in Action Comics #1101. That issue was the second of nine parts in the "Kingdom of Zod" storyline that continues in this week's Superman Unlimited #16. The issue preview at AIPTComics.com makes it clear this one picks up where that one left off, so we can be pretty confident that Booster will be in this one, too.

UPDATE: He is. Three pages.

And, unless something changes, we might want to start anticipating Booster Gold appearing in some/all of the comics in the "Kingdom of Zod" event:

• Part 1: Supergirl #16 (no Booster Gold)
• Part 2: Action Comics #1101 (yes Booster Gold)
• Part 3: Superman Unlimited #16 (yes Booster Gold)
• Part 4: Superman #41 (August 26, 2026)
• Part 5: Supergirl #17 (September 2026)
• Part 6: Action Comics #1102 (September 2026 with Booster Gold on the cover)
• Part 7: Superman Unlimited #17 (September 2026)
• Part 8: Superman #42 (September 2026)
• Part 9: Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special #1 (September 30, 2026)

Buy at least these issues with Booster Gold in them and make Skeets happy.

My review for Justice League America #88 ("Rage Against the Machine") reads: "This issue is so ugly, it's almost cruel." I stand by that statement, which makes picking a favorite page in the issue difficult.

But I'm kind of partial to Booster Gold going full Killing In The Name (of) on page 14.

Kablamm, scuzzbag.

Your Local Comic Shop will be selling Action Comics #1101 tomorrow. It seems likely, based on how Action Comics #1100 ended, that Booster will be in there. We've got to get Booster back to the present to reunite with Skeets sooner or later, right?

But the three-page preview at AIPTComics.com gives no indication one way or the other.

I'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Yep, he's in there. Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

If you happened to watch the second episode of Stuart Fails to Save the Universe on HBO Max last week (as Shawn and Tony did), you might have seen this at about the 6 minute mark:

If you're very familiar with McFarlane Toys (as Shawn and Tony are), you'll recognize those out-of-focus yellow and blue blurs at the upper left are the 2022 McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Booster Gold & Blue Beetle 2-pack action figures. Mint in box, Stuart probably has them priced at $100 or more.

Stuart could certainly learn a thing or two about saving multiverses from those guys.

Give the set decorators credit: those Blue and Gold figures are just two of many DC Multiverse background references which hint at the thematically similar parallel universe-setting of this television series, which could just as easily have been called Crisis of Infinite Stuarts.

Thanks to Shawn and Tony for catching this.
