In "Tense Future!", Booster Gold, Skeets, and Big Barda are whisked away by Mister Miracle’s boom tubes, landing them in a timeline where the future is already in chaos. With the Darkstars closing in, Booster races to save Blue Beetle—only to discover the hero has been transformed into a chipmunk by Queen Artemis, who demands his allegiance. As they’re brought to Starlag, Booster realizes they’ve arrived just before the alien invasion that birthed L.E.G.I.O.N., but it’s not Vril Dox who takes charge—instead, a mysterious figure named Estrogina declares her intent to lead a prison break. Written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with art by Pat Olliffe and colors by Hi-Fi, this issue features a striking cover by Kevin Maguire.
