Booster Gold #6 - DC


I'm really not complaining about this book . . . because I really do enjoy it. It's fresh and original . . and the way the stories are set up it's not as predictable as a regular book. My questions come in on how they're going to handle the explanations of things. I'll admit, I do peak ahead some times, so I know that the way they're going to hide Ted is to keep him in the time-stream with Booster. But . . . what about Max? Max was supposed to die also . . at the hands of Wonder Woman. So is he still dead . . or not? And if Wonder Woman didn't kill him, than the whole last 2 years of her story-lines are pretty much moot . . . including the Amazon war. And my only question about the 3 Blue Beetle's that help Booster out is . . why would the one from the 27th century need to hide his identity? I mean, it is about 500 years in the future . . . how would it have any relevance in today's world? It's just a question. But, overall, I'm really diggin' this book. Geoff Johns and Jeff Katz are doing a fantastic job with the stories. With Geoff's help, the dialogue and interaction between characters is fantastic. Jamie keeps telling his Scarab that it's suggestions are to lethal, and Dan is amazed at how easily he communicates with it. And Dan Jurgens artwork is some of his best I've ever seen. Which I also think is due in part to his inker, Norm Rapmund. They appear to work very well together. Like I said, the thing I really like about this book . . is that, with the timeline theme, things aren't as predictable as they are in normal stories. And, even if they do deal with something that we know how it's going to turn out, the steps to getting there may not be what we expected. I'm really looking forward to this book every month. Great job, guys!
