Blue & Gold #4

Nostalgia plays a big part in this one, but for JLI fans this is an easy recommendation. Read Full Review

This is definitely a side issue, with no real ties to the larger story until the cliffhanger. But sometimes you just want to see a pair of lovable idiot superheroes act like buffoons with very little stakes. This is a perfect tribute to the era these characters come from. Read Full Review

Blue & Gold #4 is a fantastically fun comic that brings back memories of Keith Giffen's Justice League. Dan Jurgens has done a terrific job of recapturing the feel of that iteration of the League in this issue's story. Perhaps Jurgens might consider tackling a full JLI story after this series concludes. Read Full Review

What makes this team great is that they are so ordinary. Booster and Beetle are not gods, so they instead choose to become celebrities. It's refreshing to see an angst free version of heroism. And I look forward to their upcoming installments. Read Full Review

This comic definitely feels like a throwback to a previous era of DC comics, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Read Full Review

Not much happens in this issue overall, and at the midway point of the mini-series, that's a problem.  Dan Jurgens tries to get the Justice League International vibes going, but it feels forced and a bit desperate by the end.  It plays out like an over-the-hill comedy duo forced to go on a late-night talk show to do their "who's on first" joke one more time because they have nothing else going on.  The book looks great, but there isn't enough substance for me to recommend it.

Blue and Gold proves again and again that it's just such a joy to read every time an issue shows up in my pulls. Feels just like a classic '90s comic book, but for the modern-day.

This was at times boring, at times fun, but that special appearance was awesome as fuck, I absolutely loved it!

Gorgeous art, but the story adds nothing to the series; it feels like the sort of mildly diverting filler you'd find in an annual or a special rather than the middle of a miniseries. Still, it does look fantastic, and it's fine for what it is.

A reminder that the Bwa-Ha-Ha style of JLI hasn't aged as well as we might have wished. At least the art is great.

Just boring after the 5th page or so.
