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.

After Booster Gold quit the Justice League in Justice League America #37, released February 13, 1990, it would be a while before he played any significant role in another comic book.

He appears in one panel of Mister Miracle #14, four panels of Animal Man #22, six panels in Justice League America #38, three panels in Time Masters #4 (covering the same ground as his appearance in Animal Man #22). He is briefly at the funeral for Mister Miracle in Justice League America#40 and Mister Miracle #17. He appears in one panel of a dream sequence in Justice League America#41, has several entries in the 1990 loose-leaf edition of Who's Who in the DC Universe, and shows up in just a couple of panels of Mister Miracle #19.

It wouldn't be until November 6, 1990, before Booster Gold returned to a significant role, as leader of the Conglomerate in Justice League Quarterly #1.

Justice League Quarterly #1 is one of my favorite comics, and easily ranks among "The 12 Best Booster Gold Stories Ever." Which is why it is so hard for me to pick out just one page as my favorite of the issue.

If you were to put a Booster Shot to my head, I suppose I'd have to go with page 13.

Golly, I love this comic.

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.

I consider Justice League of America #34, featuring the infamous Club JLI fiasco on KooeyKooeyKooey island, to be among "The 12 Best Booster Gold Stories Ever" for a very good reason: it's very, very good.

I explained my reasoning here, but no matter what I write about it, the best argument can be found in pages like this:

James Gunn could do a lot worse than adapting that!

Released on July 15, 2009: Blackest Night #1.

Blackest Night is a story about heroes coming back from the dead, but it would take the "rebirth" of the entire DCU (in 2016's appropriately named DC Universe Rebirth #1) to actually bring Ted Kord back to life.
