Buy Booster Gold

Reading Forgotten Misfortune Cookies

You are all no doubt familiar with the work of J.M. DeMatteis, the Justice League International writer who must share credit for making Booster Gold the man we know and love today. (And if you're not, shame on you!) DeMatteis has been writing for Booster Gold off and on for nearly three decades, but it turns out that he's written more than we've previously seen.

On Wednesday, DeMatteis posted on his blog a treatment for an rejected Justice League Unlimited episode featuring Martian Manunter and his Oreos addiction (as explored elsewhere in Martian Manhunter #24). Naturally, Booster Gold has a part to play.

"So," Booster says, "we're doing security, right?" "So," J'onn replies, "you're doing security, wrong." Bwanna Beast gets very excited, thinking that means they're the ones J'onn is picking to do the actual negotiations. "Even I'm," Booster says, "not stupid enough to believe that." "Thus exhibiting a level of self-knowledge," J'onn interjects, "that I thought was beyond you." "Thanks," Booster replies. "I think."

If you like DeMatteis' humorous writing or Martian Manhunter or JLU, you owe it to yourself to visit J.M. DeMatteis' Creation Point and give it a read.
