My Favorite Pages: Justice League America 85

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Last week, I picked my favorite page from Justice League America #83, so you might expect that this week I'd show a page from Justice League America #84. But I couldn't find one. I just don't think any of the pages in that issue are particularly great.

So let's skip ahead to the much better page 14 of Justice League America #85.

Hmm. "The Booster Gold Way." Someone should trademark that.

I'm looking at the weekly ship list for tomorrow, and I'm not seeing any likely Booster Gold content. After the flurry of activity of that latest event series whose name I will not repeat, it still feels weird to have several weeks pass with no new Booster Gold appearance in a DC comic book. Action Comics #1099, with Booster on the cover, is still on schedule to ship next week, so we just have to be patient.

Speaking of that unnamed series and patience, did we ever find out the real identity of the masked secret character "Legend" from last year's Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special #1 that had Booster Gold on all the covers? Or get an answer to why Skeets has been MIA (other than the continuity-dubious ECW tie-in) since Challengers of the Unknown #5? We are going to get answers to those questions one day, right? Right?

My Favorite Pages: Justice League America 83

If you've ever bumped into the Boosterrific.com 404 page, you already know that my favorite page from Justice League America #83 is this one:

One of the most misunderstood aspects of Booster Gold's personality is just how much of his own self worth is based on being a superhero. That kid is driven.

DC released August solicitations last week, and other than Booster's one-panel cameo from Animal Man #1 being reprinted in the latest re-issue of Animal Man by Grant Morrison Book One, I don't see much to excite Booster boosters.

On a similar note, don't expect too much Booster Gold at your Local Comic Shop tomorrow, either. Booster has been seen in ten of the last eleven issues of Superman, so maybe we'll see him (or a poster of him) again in Superman #38, but the preview at AIPTComics.com doesn't give any indication. We'll see.

UPDATE: We have seen. Superman #38 takes us back to Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime with a whole bunch of heroes against ~~Superboy-Prime~~ ~~Superman-Prime~~ Just-Plain-Prime. But no Booster Gold. Maybe next month.

Yet Another Correction

Do you know what "the best selling graphic novel of all time" is? According to the cover of the 2011 fourteenth printing, it's The Death of Superman, specifically the collection reprinting the complete 1992 "The Death of Superman" storyline.

I don't know if that was true in 2011. I have my doubts. I'm pretty sure it's not true in 2026, especially if you don't restrict eligibility to just North American graphic novels, much less if you don't qualify what your definition of "graphic novel" is. If you're just talking reprint collections, there's some pretty good evidence that the worldwide title goes to one of the volumes of One Piece. But I digress.

Whether best seller ever or just a really great seller, that still means a whole bunch of people have seen Booster Gold on the cover of that book. At least, they've seen him if they turned the book over. Booster is on the back.

And now, for the first time at Boosterrific.com, you can see him too.

Why didn't I have the back cover of a reprint collection released in 1993 on this website already? Answer: because I just bought it. So whatever the previous sales numbers were, I guess you can add one more.
