I really, really enjoy this book . . . I know . . I'm as surprised as you are. But, I hope they wrap up this current story-line pretty soon. Next there's a Booster Gold 1,000,000,000, and then I'm thinking they're going to be tying all the threads up on this one. I love the story by Geoff Johns and John Katz. Also I'm really digging the art of Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund. For me though, the problem is, this current story-line is so divergent from what's going on in the regular DC Universe that . . it's kind of distracting. Ultimately, we can see what's coming. Ted's going to have to sacrifice himself for the good of the Universe. He already knows that. He and Booster just haven't accepted it yet. The nice thing about these stories is that when they're done . . . they pretty much have to be done. If they leave to many loose threads hanging around, it could eventually unravel all of time and history in the DC Universe. This issue we also find out that Booster's dad, who's been working with Per Degaton and the Ultra Humanite is actually being controlled by Mr Mind. You know that little wormy thing from SHAZAM!. We also find out that the Blue Beetle from the future . . the one that started out as an ally, but turned out to be the enemy . . is actually involved in all of this more because of Jamie Reyes' Blue Beetle than Ted Kord's. However, we haven't quite figured out what that's all about yet. This issue ends with Ted starting to do what he must to put things right, because . . Michael's about to be erased completely from the time-stream. I'm really surprised at how much I'm enjoying this book. It's actually probably in my top 10 almost every month. If not . . it's real close. And to be honest, I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. As Ted ominously says . . "Bwah-ha-ha-ha!"
