Booster Gold #2
This volume continues the 2007 Booster Gold series, collecting issues #7-12 of the time-traveling hero's adventures. Booster Gold, alongside his robotic sidekick Skeets, navigates the complexities of fixing temporal anomalies while dealing with threats like the Time Stealers and a mysterious conspiracy involving Rip Hunter. The story deepens the character's arc as a reluctant guardian of the timeline, blending action with emotional stakes.
In "Chapter 2: O.M.A.C.'d," Booster Gold and Beetle fight their way through a London overrun by O.M.A.C.s, seeking shelter in the abandoned JLI embassy—only to find Catherine Colbert caught in the same nightmare. As the city falls under the control of the relentless O.M.A.C. forces, the duo must rely on unexpected allies in the form of Hawkman and Green Arrow to survive. Meanwhile, in a distant past, the Black Beetle retrieves Booster’s father and brings him to a secret gathering of the Time Stealers at Vanishing Point.
In "Chapter 3: Freedom Fighters," Booster Gold and Beetle find themselves cut off after a failed assault on Checkmate’s stronghold, forcing them to use a mother box to boom tube to the abandoned New York base of the Justice League International—where Booster believes the only hope lies in reassembling the old team.
In "Chapter 4: Putting the Band Back Together," Booster Gold and Beetle reunite the original Justice League International to confront Max, but their victory is short-lived when they're suddenly challenged by the mysterious Time Stealers. The story brings together legacy and legacy-defining moments in a high-stakes battle where past and present collide.
In "Chapter 5: Mindgames," Booster Gold grapples with his unraveling timeline as he uncovers the true architect behind the Time Stealers, his reality flickering with each passing moment. With Rip Hunter, Daniel, and Rose racing to restore his fractured past, Booster must confront the cost of his choices—just as Blue Beetle prepares to return to his own path.
In "Chapter 6: Holding Back the Years," Booster Gold, displaced in time after altering the past to save Ted Kord, finds himself in a distant future where he encounters Peter Platinum—a man who's built his identity on Booster's legacy. Back in the present, shaken by Rip's actions, Booster heads to Las Vegas, clashes with the Royal Flush Gang, and is summoned by Batman, who sees through his act and gives him unexpected encouragement. Reinvigorated, Booster returns to Rip’s lab for a moment that feels like redemption—just as an unseen intruder slips into Kord Industries and discovers Blue Beetle’s bug.
