Booster Gold #6

Jun 2011 · DC · 17.99 USD; 19.99 CAD
“Tense Future!”

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.

Mister Miracle boom tubes Booster Gold, Skeets, and Big Barda away from the Darkstars' justice and back to Earth. After a quick trip to the present, Booster returns to rescue Blue Beetle, but finds Queen Artemis has turned him into a chipmunk for refusing to become her consort. She allows the Darkstars to take the heroes to Starlag where they meet Vril Dox. Booster realizes that they have arrived just before the alien invasion that led to Dox's founding of L.E.G.I.O.N. But it is someone named Estrogina, not Dox, who announces that she will lead whoever wants to join her in a prison break.
