Booster Gold #7 - DC

Another fantastic chapter of this great book, by Geoff Johns and Dan Jurgens. This book is one of those extravagant pleasures that you allow yourself, even though you know you shouldn't. Booster Gold has really become an interesting character with this series. I know. That sentence in an oxymoron. But seriously, I really like what they're doing with this series. Booster's been given a mission, and a purpose. And he's thriving in it. Well . . . except for the mistake he made in saving his best friends life, Ted Kord, which also saved Max Lord's life, because Wonder Woman didn't kill him, which left Max to complete his Brother Eye / OMAC plan, which upon returning to the present showed Michael and Ted that Max's OMAC's were now in charge of the world and had killed off almost every other hero. Except for that mistake . . . it seems like he's doing a good job. But, because of that, some other people are coming together. Rip Hunter has gathered up Daniel Carter, Rose Levins and Skeets. Daniel and Rose don't know it yet, but they're going to get together and consummate the ancestral line that will lead to Michael's existence. Even though Rip knows that . . he's still asking for their help. He wants Daniel to don the Supernova costume again. Also, somewhere outside of time . . . vanishing point . . . the villains are gathering. There they are coming together to form a new group. They consist of Per Degaton, the Ultimate Humanite, the fish headed guy . . I can't remember his name . . and from Michael's time the Black Beetle and Michael's father, who is now Supernova. They're calling themselves the Time Stealers, and their goal is to rule all time. "History will be ours." Well, if Michael wanted a challenge . . he's got it. He and Rip are going to have an awful lot of stuff to fix. I look forward, now, to this book every month. I think Geoff and Dan are doing a fantastic job. My only concern is wondering how long Geoff's going to be on this book, because Jeff Katz is also listed on the scripts. So I'm guessing, we'll see Geoff on the first 12 issues, at the most. But, rather than worry about that right now, I'm just going to enjoy the stories that we have. And the short time, I think, that Booster and Beetle have together.
