I ’ve never been a big fan of Booster Gold or anthropomorphic dinosaurs , but as a devoted follower ofBatman : The Brave and the Bold , I decided to check out Mark Russell and Jon Mikel ’s three - part story , Time Jerks . It turn out to be one of my best comic - related decisions of the year .
This story follow Booster Gold through a serial of prison term - journey encounters with both theJustice League and their dinosaur counterparts , theJurassic League . In issue # 15 ofBatman : The Brave and the Bold , Wonder Woman , Batman , and Superman are sent 65 million years into the past , where they meet Wonderdon , Batsaur , and Supersaur for the first time .
DC ’s Dinosaur Justice League returns with Modern and improved costume , and it ’s all thanks to Booster Gold mess up the timeline ( again ) .
The Justice League Meets Their Dinosaur Counterparts in Hidden-Gem Crossover
One of my personal high spot for strip in 2024 will doubtlessly be seeing the Trinity stand alongside their dinosaur counterparts . It ’s not just an epic visual ; it ’s the fact that these three bomber will always commemorate that , at some spot , dinosaur rendering of themselves live . What truly elevates this crossing over to my deary of the year , however , is how emotionally impactful their brief fundamental interaction is . Even though the team - up lastedonly a quarter of the comic , Russell and Mikel ’s storytelling brought me to tears multiple times , which is a exculpated polarity of a phenomenal crosswalk .
Despite the comedic premise of the Trinity meet their dinosaur counterparts , the interaction was laced with depth and urgency . As Wonder Woman , Batman , and Superman joined forces with the Jurassic League to stave off the side effect of the asteroid responsible for the dinosaurs ' mass experimental extinction , their travail were marked by a affecting sense of futility . The Hero fought valiantly , to the full cognisant that their action could only delay the inevitable . This emotionally commit squad - up , while annihilative , highlighted the depth and significance of the crossover , make it an unforgettable standout in the twelvemonth ’s comic rule book offer .
The Range of Emotions Packed Into Time Jerks Makes It a Standout Crossover
Time Jerksproved to be a surprising gem inBatman : The Brave and the Bold . What started as a light - hearted and wacky story evolved into a attractively depicted and poignant conclusion for a beloved superhero team . The emotional reach packed into this curtly - last crossover is really noteworthy , cement its place as the beneficial crossover of 2024 in my eyes . As someone who apprise great dialog , I foundTime Jerksdelivered some of the funniest and most impactful telephone circuit I ’ve read in ages . I can only imagine how heroic thisJustice LeaguexJurassic Leaguecrossover could have been if it had been a longer serial .
There ’s some real humanity behind Booster Gold ’s antics , and I revalue the depiction of a superhero with depression that is n’t grim and game .
