Action Comics Vol. 5: Booster Shot TP

Superman and Booster Gold travel back in time to verify the claims that Kal-El’s father somehow survived the destruction of Krypton. What they find, though, is a vastly different world than history has shown.

When the time intruders are discovered, Jor-El and General Zod collaborate to capture or destroy them. The Eradicator will chase the pair through time to 25th century Gotham City and back to Krypton in pursuit of justice. Unable to alter the past, Superman and Booster must make certain they survive. Zod, and his son Lor-Zod, and Ursa want to make certain they do not.

Not that things are perfect back on Earth. The Pentagon reports that Lois Lane’s father, General Sam Lane, has gone missing. When they won’t mount a rescue mission, she goes after him on her own. Or so she thinks. Her super-powered son Jon tags along, adding a new level of risk to the mission.

DAN JURGENS‘ final major story arc, BOOSTER SHOT, collecting ACTION COMICS #993-999 and a story from ACTION COMICS SPECIAL #1, raises the stakes for all concerned. These high-powered tales are illustrated by BRETT BOOTH, WILL CONRAD and NORM RAPMUND.
