Overview

"Blue and Gold" continues as the Justice League International returns! In a desperate attempt to correct time, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle are forced to rebuild the team that defined them so long ago! But can what's left of the JLI stop Max Lord and save the world from his O.M.A.C.s?

Summary

-Max Lord has mind-controlled Superman into capturing Dr. Light (Kimiyo Hoshi), and begun to use her solar energy to power Brother Eye. 

- Booster and Beetle plot their next move: to gather together the members of their old team, Justice League International. Since Batman is nowhere to be found, they start with Mr. Miracle (Scott Free), who is being held prisoner. Next, the three of them recruit Green Lantern (Guy Gardener), Fire (Beatriz da Costa) and Ice (Tora Olafsdotter). 

- Meanwhile at Vanishing Point—the end of time—Rip, Skeets and Booster's ancestors Rose Levin and Daniel Carter (currently wearing the Supernova costume), discover that they have arrived too late. The Time Stealers have recently departed. 

- Booster and company rescue one final member, J'onn Jonzz: the Martian Manhunter. The reunited JLI proceed to Boom Tube to Brother Eye's satellite and confront Max. 

- The battle begins to favor the Leaguers. Mr. Miracle frees Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) from an O.M.A.C. shell and Ice rescues Dr. Light. The tide turns further to their advantage when a Checkmate agent turns out to be Batman in disguise. He's been undercover for months, working on a way to shut down Brother Eye. 

- Booster, who's already fought Brother Eye once during Infinite Crisis, is able to shut down Brother Eye and the O.M.A.C.s. Dr. Light kills Max, taking her revenge on him since the madman had murdered her children. Superman is in control of himself again, and reveals that Max forced him to watch as Lois was murdered. 

- Aware that all these events occurred because he saved Ted, Booster still thinks everything can be fixed with Rip's help. But before he can tell his teammates the situation, a new group arrives on the satellite. The Time Stealers have arrived!

Volume Description

Booster Gold (Volume 2)

Starring: Booster Gold, Skeets, and Rip Hunter.

Second Feature: Blue Beetle (#21-25, 28-29).

Spinning off of 52, Booster Gold's second series opens with Booster trying to join the Justice League of America. Most of the members mock him as he makes his pleas. Batman cites Booster's help with Brother Eye as a reason he should be given a chance and says if he can go a week without publicity stunts, grandstanding, or press conferences that Booster would be inducted as a member. Rip Hunter shows up at Booster's ancestor Daniel Carter's house and tries to recruit Booster and task him with "fixing time" by closing temporal anomalies. But Booster's accomplishments must remain a secret to everyone for if anyone knew they could easily kill him in his crib. So Booster Gold must become The Greatest Hero The World Has Never Known! Rip upgrades Booster's and Skeets' tech and then takes them on a jaunt through time. Once they complete the mission, Booster asks Rip to just drop him off where he picked them up and goes to the Hall of Justice. Superman and the rest of the League hand him a certificate that soon becomes a death certificate for Green Lantern. He lies to the League saying he just wanted an opportunity to turn them down. Booster finds Rip at his time lab and tells him that he's in under one condition: They have to save his best friend, Ted Kord.

After that Rip takes Booster on a series of anomaly fixing, but when he won't help him save Ted a future Blue Beetle shows up along with Dan Garret and Jaime Reyes whom he had recruited. Booster and the Beetles leave to save Ted while Rip and a wounded Skeets stay behind. Once Ted is rescued he talks with Dan and Jaime. Jaime is thrilled to meet him and has so many questions, but the future Blue Beetle says that for Ted to live no one must know that he is alive and that he would have to erase Dan and Jaime's memory of the past 48 hours. With everyone back in their respective time, Ted and Booster head off for more exciting adventures.
