My Favorite Pages: Justice League America 65
Considering that Maxima is the planetary-invading bad girl in this week's Superman Treasury 2025: Hope for All #1, I find it interesting to look back to June 1992 when it was her planet being conquered by outside enemy forces in Justice League America #65 (also written by Dan Jurgens).
Who saved the day then? Hint: it wasn't Superman....
Fzzzam. Speowww.
Ah, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle! Is there anything they can't do?

My Favorite Pages: Justice League Quarterly 7
In Justice League Quarterly #7, we learn that Ted Kord graduated from Marquette (Illinois) High School in 1977 when he attends his high school reunion with his teammates and friends Booster Gold, Fire, and Ice.
Of course things wouldn't get interesting until the Lord High Reacquisitor Vinic arrived to abduct the entire reunion back to their native planet Klaarsh.
Which is how Ted Kord learned that he went to a high school populated entirely by aliens.
High school reunions are just the worst.

My Favorite Pages: Justice League Quarterly 6
As a general rule for this series, I skip issues in which Booster Gold appears on only a page or two, but I'm going to make an exception for Justice League Quarterly #6 because, despite its awkward panel layout, I love this page of Blue Beetle and Booster Gold hanging out over a ten-pack of (light) beer:
Buds and suds! Who could ask for more on Valentine's Day?

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
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.
