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.

Although this is good enough to be one of those humorous one-page strips DC used to publish in Silver Age comic books (I'm particularly fond of Henry Boltinoff's Super-Turtle), this was actually created by Sully of sully-s.tumblr.com in 2021. Keep up the good work, Sully!

If you've ever read Justice League International Special #1, you already know what my favorite page is.

And if you haven't read Justice League International Special #1, what are you waiting for?

Booster booster Rob Snow has finally got his hands on the new McFarlane Super Powers Booster Gold figure, and he sent me this pic of our hero alongside his best bud, Blue Beetle!

Is that an optical illusion, or is Booster really half-a-head taller than Beetle? (According to Who's Who, Booster is 6' 5" while Beetle is 5' 11".) I asked Rob, who confirmed what my eyes had seen:

"Hes quite a bit taller. Had to scrunch him down into the Bug."

The only way they could be more comics-accurate is if Booster's Power Action was being airsick in the Bug!

Thanks for sharing, Rob.

When we last visited my favorite pages, Booster Gold and his BFF had just spent all of the Justice League's money on an island casino that promptly went bankrupt. Oops.

That's a pretty big cliffhanger. However, this feature is supposed to present comics in chronological order of publication, which means I should be discussing Booster's appearance in Doom Patrol #29. But since I already posted the only 4 pages of that issue that feature Booster Gold here (my favorite being page 23), let's skip ahead to the good stuff: Justice League America #35, where Blue and Gold have to deal with the aftermath of their terrible, terrible idea.

Adam Hughes art, Giffen/DeMatteis action-adventure/sitcom... yeah, like I said, good stuff.
