The Perfect Team-Up Is Just One Man

I suppose it figures that the Booster Gold with the fewest votes is also the Booster Gold who has appeared in the fewest number of panels (exactly one, which is also the number of votes he got).

Last week's poll question: Which alternate-continuity version of himself should Booster Gold meet during Convergence? (44 votes)

Which alternate-continuity version of himself should Booster Gold meet during <em>Convergence</em>?

Now that Convergence is upon us, let's talk about the elseworlds where a single creator — combination of writer and artist — other than Dan Jurgens was responsible for telling the stories of most of Booster Gold's adventures. Who would you want to read?

I wanted to vote for both Jim Lee and Daryn Cooke. But knowing that Jim Lee has become very high profile in DC and realistically would not be the one doing Booster I voted for Daryn Cooke

What no Walt Simonson? Jim Lee? really? why not Rob Liefield? Seriously tho, had to go with Byrrne, much as I respect the work of the others (love Mignola) Byrne especially his FF era work would best fit Booster and make him look incredible. Check out Action comics for proof.

No Liefeld because I couldn't imagine anyone voting for him. No Simonson because I wanted to keep it to just six.

I was just pulling yer leg (as usual), it's a good selection. I did want to review what I think each of these would look like.Cooke- 50-s cartoon Booster, Mignola- Booster by gaslight, Allred- psychedelic Booster, Chaykin- S&M Booster (in garters), Lee- pointless speedline Booster. Leaving Byrne to give us Awesome Booster! OK I admit I'm biased but Byrne built the universe Booster was born into so for me there is no other choice for straight-up super-heroing.

Man, that's a great one! I have to go with Darwyn for this one, mostly because think he'd get the science fiction elements of Booster's story in ways the other creators might not. That said, I'd love to see the spin Allred would put on the character.

I thought it was a pretty good sampling of diverse styles/points of view, ranging from Lee's straightforward super-heroics aesthetic to Chaykin's dark cynicism. You know, Byrne is the only one on this list who has ever actually integrated Booster into a story. (He's done it once. Lee has never written for Booster, and the others have never worked with our hero.)
