The Pre-52 Blue Beetle And Booster Gold To Appear In Justice League 3000
Justice League 3000 is a book by Keith Giffen, J.M DeMatteis and Howard Porter, featuring the parasitic clones of DC Comics' Justice League, a thousand years in the future.

Justice League 3000 #3 – Arrogant League Of The Dismal Future
DeMatteis and Keith Giffen's way of throwing us into the fray, in hopes of whetting our appetites.

With this response; Probably never since he's working on another book with me and Marc I know that should be "Marc and[...]
