[Fire up your delorian, hop in your police call box, fly around the planet really fast, throw yourself into a spinning tunnel... however you swing through time, we've got a missing week to relive...]

We were going to look at Blue Beetle, and maybe Booster Gold from the Giffen-DeMatties Justice League run. While looking we found an issue of the spin-off series starring Mister Miracle (and the missus, Big Barda) guest starring Booster and Beetle.

The Mister Miracle series was (at least as it started) a sitcom. Scott and Barda Free (and their pal Oberon) moved into a new home and tried to live a normal life, despite their ties to the United Nations-backed JLI, their closest friends being some wacky super-heroes and their essentially being fugitives from Darkseid's Apokolips.

Of course they probably could have made it work better if not for the involvement of Giffen and DeMatteis.

Later the book got less funny, less connected to JLI, and finally less published (also known as cancelled).



Here's the cover of Mister Miracle issue number 8, guest starring Booster and Beetle, wherein the Free family deals with their latest domestic difficulty.
