Justice League International Annual #1, the first and last Justice League International Volume 3 annual, hits shelves today. According to the advance solicitations, this issue "ties in to the shocking events of JUSTICE LEAGUE #12!" A preview of the issue was released earlier this week at USAToday.com (thanks to MetalWoman for the link).
Since Justice League #12 also comes out today, you may want to keep your eyes open when you visit your Local Comic Shop this week. False alarm. I bought it. It's terrible and in no way has anything to do with Booster Gold. Never mind.
What's next for the JLI? Even Skeets wants to know what happens in this annual. Skeets covers its visual receptacles and hides.

Booster Gold! Noooo! What happened to you in this issue!! NOOooooo!!

He was too much of a threat to the New 52 universe, giving fans every where the hope that he could undo the awful and conflicting parts of the New 52 and bring back the great bits of the old universe. This is why amateurs like Barry Allen should leave time travel to professionals.

The Annual had great Booster moments! It gave me hope, and I think we will be getting a booster series in the next year. Geoff seems to have plans for him, which is good! Yeah JLI 12 was awful, you should post about the annual!

Okay, the annual wasn't TOO bad. IT definitely had it's Booster moments, but felt too much like a way to radically end JLI's existence to horn in the Justice League changes coming down the pike. I do agree with Ryan Sias that it looks at least hopeful that Booster will return to his time-cop ways next year in the pages of Justice League. We know that Geoff Johns has a soft spot for our own Michael Carter, so I'm sure that Booster's "fade-out" is temporary. (I hope.)<br />But the art was TERRIBLE. Every male in the book, even skinny/lanky teenager Jaime Reyes was made to look as if he bench presses 400 pounds a day and eats 5000 protein calories a day? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Superhero doesn't mean HULK body for everyone!

Welcome to the Digital Age of comics, where you can try before you buy! Interested in how Dan Jurgens will wrap up his year on Justice League International? Take a look at DC Comics' 5-page preview before you travel to your Local Comic Shop! Curious how well the JLI will be integrated in Batwing? Check out the preview before downloading it at Comixology.com.
Whichever method you prefer, buy these issues and make Skeets happy! (Thanks to MetalWoman for the preview links.)
UPDATE 08/03/12: MetalWoman also dropped by the Boosterrific Forum to let us know that Booster puts in a surprise cameo appearance in Stormwatch #12 this week. And he's not alone: alongside the JLI is Skeets, in his first New 52 appearance!

On a somewhat Boosterless note: There is also a free Arrow issue available at Comixology, based on the upcoming TV-Show. While that show has nothing to do with Booster, it gives reason to hope that there will also be a Tie-In for Booster's show.

Booster Gold makes an appearance in today's Blue Beetle #11 as the hero trying to help Blue Beetle with his public image problem. In the online preview at Crave Online, Booster acts a lot like his Smallville interpretation, schmoozing with the television cameras for his own agenda, whatever that may be.
Buy this issue, if for no other reason than to support the fact that Booster's ridiculous DCnU notched headband has finally been discarded! That's enough to make Skeets happy! (Thanks to MetalWoman for the link.)

I don't mind returning Booster to his media-pitchman ways, as long they keep his growth as a hero. Perhaps this is DCnU's way of getting Booster and Beetle together for a new Blue & Gold series! One can only hope.

Blue Beetle could certainly use the BOOST "er" in sales ;)

"in another lifetime", yeah, right... -sigh-<br /><br />Not ever having had his past adventures with Ted is one thing, but here with Jaime they simply go on the wrong foot altogether. Why's everyone so angry all the time in this New 52?!?<br />Booster trying to kill a child stuck in an alien armor, really? Not the Booster we knew!

^by the by, that was "me", Eyz. Forgot to log in my name, etc.

In all fairness to Booster Eyz, it sounds like he believes that once a Scarab takes control of a victim, not only can it never be removed, but it destroys the person it controls. So in Booster's mind, Scarab Jaime is the equivalent of a zombie/vampire/Black Lantern. <br /><br />Of course, that makes Booster look even worse for letting Jaime go just because it would have brought him bad media attention. But I like to think it was also because he began to doubt that Jaime was truly a mindless killing machine.<br /><br />Metal Woman

ONE guest appearance and we already have a more interesting character dynamic than we've had in 11 issues of JLI. Much as I miss Ted, I'm beginning to hope for a new "Blue and Gold" series to come out of all this.

Personally, I believe they fragged it up when they blatantly revealed the identity of the Black Beetle(you know, only the greatest super-villain you've never heard of). <br /><br /> And judging by all the recent releases from DC, I'd rather not have Nu52 "Blue and Gold". Although knowing DC, we're probably bound to witness the birth of brooding, seerious Batman wanna-be Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle...And then DC will cancel the series after several unsuccessful runs and we'll be left out again.

Personally, I'll take Booster Gold in whatever series DC wants to give him to me in. I think I've demonstrated that if Booster's in it, I'm buying it.
deusex2 posted on Jul. 20, 2012 at 3:56 AM
Well true there about Booster Gold... but not Ted Kord. Ruining such a great character or a duo is just too darn much.

In celebration of American Independence Day, today DC Comics is releasing Justice League International #11. A 4-page preview of the issue is online at Comic Book Resources. (Thanks to MetalWoman for the link.)
According to DC's advance solicitations at dccomics.com, "the team is defeated at the hands of The Burners," a team of anarchists currently planning to bomb the nation's capital. Hooray!
While the timing may be only coincidental -- what team of anarchist super-villains aren't always trying to blow up national monuments? -- I'm just not sure I want to read a story in which America's foremost hero, Booster Gold, gets his ass handed to him on America's birthday. Maybe tomorrow.
Buy this issue and watch some fireworks with Skeets.

This is not your father's JLI.
Can you spot the one character who seems to be enjoying himself here, as though he knows something you don't? Hmm?
The 5-page preview for Justice League International #10 is up at Newsarama.com, and it looks like we'll finally start getting some answers about just who bombed the United Nations four months ago. Will these answers come just in time to see the end of the Justice League? Pick up JLI #10 this Wednesday and find out.

How did that character sheet get in the story?<br />Don't you just LOVE books where the writing's so good that they feel the need to spell out just who all the characters are, after ONLY 10 issues? SHEESH
MetalWoman posted on Jun. 4, 2012 at 4:26 PM
Actually, I am glad when writers do things like this. It is easy to forget that everyone has a first comic. Spending a page or a half to catch up new readers is a good thing. If I was goddess of comic books, I would start every comic with its equivalent of the old Legion Rollcall.
Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jun. 4, 2012 at 5:06 PM
I have to admit, I'm a big fan of the roll call, too. (That might be why I chose to run these panels.) Certainly a roll call is appropriate following a crossover issue that might bring in new fans. However, I can really sympathize that it feels like just so much more padding when the roll call takes up more than half a page of a 20-page book. With real estate at a premium in a story already marked by expansive decompression, I have to wonder if this is the best way to get the issue going.
deusex2 posted on Jun. 4, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Yeah, I like roll calls too. However moderation is the key. It gets really annoying when you're getting fed those roll calls every issue or two...And don't get me started about recaps.

Why do all the human looking heroes have an X on the right cheek?
Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Jun. 4, 2012 at 6:41 PM
I'd noticed that before. I think that's Aaron Lopresti shorthand for scratches. I don't recall being scratched like that, but I don't live in the DCU, either.
Eyz posted on Jun. 5, 2012 at 4:15 AM
I'm okay with a roll call. Big sucker for these actually! <br /><br />What?! Don't you guys have those X-on your right cheek as well?! XD
