Booster Gold #26 - DC

Starting this week we're seeing how the rest of the DC Universe is dealing with this Blackest Night threat. Of course with Booster, it's Blue Beetle that's coming back to haunt him. However, when he first shows up Booster is nowhere to be found, so . . he attacks the next best thing . . Booster's ancestors, Daniel and Rose. But they already seem to be at odds. We haven't seen them in quite a while, but it looks like their almost forced relationship is starting to show the strains. When dead-Ted shows up, Daniel is quick to jump in to his Supernova outfit . . I think, just to get out of the house. I think he welcomes the change. Anyways, Michael had decided to go back in time and watch Ted's funeral again. He's just been thinking about him alot lately and he remembered how at the funeral he was so tore up that he couldn't even say anything . . he couldn't eulogize his best friend. He's felt guilt about it ever since. He comes back to find Daniel's house being attacked, dead-Ted is holding up Supernova ready to tear his heart out, and Skeets has brought along Jaime for help. I think this is a nice change of pace for this book. They can stop bouncing around through time for an issue or two to let us in on what's going on in the other people's lives connected to Michael. Such as his sister. Where's she at? As always, I think Dan Jurgens is doing a great job here. This issue he's helped out on the art by Mike Norton. Man . . that guy gets around. It seems like he's on 3 or 4 books every month. I guess that just shows that there's a lot of work for a good artist out there. Keep up the good work guys. I never thought I'd be saying this, but . . this is one of my favorite reads every month. 'Bwah-ha-ha-haaa!!'
