I'm beginning to wonder if anyone loves comics books as much as Ross Pearsall, whose Super-Team Family cross-company team-up covers continue to amaze and delight.

Sometimes, I think Ross is making covers just for my personal amusement. Take, for example, these three consecutive covers he released late in January (click on any of the images to visit the original, with Ross's notes, at braveandboldlost.blogspot.com):

I sure hope that the recently announced Superman/Spider-Man crossover is a huge success. I could really use a comic in which Booster Gold tries to straighten out the history of the Marvel Universe.

The repercussions of Doomsday's Superman-killing rampage continue to reverberate through 1993's Justice League America #71, as Booster Gold tries to find a way to repair his damaged technology when he is interrupted by equally-powerless Fire and the resolution to a lingering subplot referenced in a previous Favorite Page.

Sure, that one strand of hair in Fire's face is annoying, and the fact that she's almost nude as she criticizes a "lingerie" calendar makes me chuckle every time, but I really dig those last two panels.

But wait, there's more! After months on the sidelines, this issue sees Skeets returned to action on the following page. So I've got two favorite pages!

Sometimes the messiest comics can be the most endearing.

Superman #34 is coming out today. I do not know if Booster will be in it, but (1) this title is written by Joshua Williamson, who is also co-writing DC K.O., and (2) Booster Gold has made at least a cameo appearance in the last five consecutive issues of the series (six of the last seven). Ergo, it seems that odds are good that Booster will be in this one, too.

If I can get to my Local Comic Shop today, I'll update this post accordingly.

UPDATE: Confirmed, Booster is indeed in Superman #34. And Logan, the manager of my Local Comic Shop, assures me that he looked through the other books DC released and this is the only one with Booster in it. Thanks, Logan!

UPDATE 2: Curse you, Logan! As eighties88 has pointed out in the comments, Booster Gold does indeed appear in one panel of DC's Supergirl Next Door. Thanks for the correction, eighties88.
