Spoiler-Free Reaction
Great edge-of-your-seat developments with Booster Gold being thrown in and out of different universes and timelines. As little tidbits of information are leaked out, we get to a nice little revelation near the end. The art from a large collection of artists serves to define Booster Gold’s character — humorous, but not too silly. This is probably one of the stronger issues for this Futures End September Event.
Spoilerific Plot Points
- Booster moves through multiple dimensions and timelines due to Brainiac’s drones questioning him. He later discovers an older version of himself and an older version of Goldstar, both from another universe.

- As Brainiac’s drones threaten to kill Goldstar, Booster Gold gives in and agrees to tell them the location of the monitoring platform.
