New Old Release: Blue Beetle Volume 2

If you didn't pick up Blue Beetle #7 back in October 2023, now's your (second) chance as it is included in the collection Blue Beetle Volume 2: Forever Blue being released this week.

And that's all I have to say about that.

My Favorite Pages: Justice League America Annual 5

My Favorite Pages

As Armageddon 2001 meandered its way through the 1991 DC annuals, the Justice League was dealing with its own crisis as founder and team glue Max Lord lay in a coma. This gave Waverider a perfect opportunity in Justice League America Annual #5 to inspect the probable futures of several Justice Leaguers in quick succession in his search to find the future Monarch.*

The visions he saw were all of a shared future in which Martian Manhunter is a cookie guru, Guy Gardner led a cult of personality, Fire was engaged to marry Oberon, and Booster Gold had returned to the 25th century, spent time in jail for his previous crime, then resumed his old job at the Space Museum.

This page reads a little differently after Countdown.

Booster actually has a charming dual role in this issue, supporting his teammates in the present, and in the future, stealing another time machine to put his fractured team back together. For a guy often accused of being a screw-up, Booster has always been a big hero behind the scenes.

* It's no coincidence that herein Waverider disguises himself as Captain Atom, whom he will dramatically fail to investigate a few weeks later in Justice League Europe Annual #2. I'd be inclined to say "spoiler warning" here, but this is definitely not a spoiler. As DC editorial decreed, Captain Atom is not Monarch.

Justice League America #51 is a nice reminder that no matter how bad things get, you can always count on your friends.

No, I didn't choose this page just because of "Your Boosteraciousness," but I could have.

Living in the Future

Do you have a 3D printer? Are you interested in printing your own Justice League International miniatures? Well, now you can!

Booster booster Steven Palchinski draws our attention to myminifactory.com, which is currently offering a limited-time opportunity to get your hands on the STL files (and PDF character cards) that Knight Models uses in their DC Multiverse Miniature Game. These appear to be the same models they use to create their unpainted retail miniatures, such as the the Blue Beetle and Booster Gold miniatures they released in 2018.

"Knight Models DC Universe Miniature Game Blue Beetle & Booster Gold

In addition to Blue and Gold, the sale at myminifactory.com also includes 3D printer-ready files for 107 other figures, including Batman, Martian Manhunter, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, and Guy Gardner. Print them at home then recreate your favorite early Justice League issues!

Thanks for the heads up, Steven.

New Release: Absolute Power 3

When we last saw our hero in Absolute Power #2, he was caught up in the Brainiac Queen's attack on Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Did he get away safely? The suspense is killing me!

Unfortunately for my ulcers, Booster Gold is not seen in the preview available at aiptcomics.com for today's Absolute Power #3. But Blue Beetle is! And so are most of the other heroes last seen in Absolute Power#2.

If Beetle is free, Booster can't be too far away. (If he's on Themyscira, he's probably busy off panel hitting on Wonder Woman again. Some things are just more important than defeating another fascist would-be world dictator.)

Consider buying this issue and making Skeets happy.
