This Day in History: Whole Lotta Time Travel
Are you old enough to remember what it was like to have Booster Gold regularly appearing in his own comic book series? If so, you probably remember reading Booster Gold #28.
In that issue, the reader is treated to scenes that take place in
- 1990, the unfortunate events leading to the creation of Cyborg Superman;
- 1993, the year Coast City was destroyed;
- 2010, the "present" day; and
- 2083, the future of experimental time travel Project Slipshift.
Not pictured is 2020, where we are now, exactly one decade since the release of that issue.
I didn't include it on my list of great Booster Gold comics, but in many ways, this is an ideal issue for any new fans interested in Booster's adventures and who are not yet indoctrinated into his (and DC's) history.
Everything is in here: Skeets, Rip Hunter, Michelle, Superman, the Justice League, time travel shenanigans, and of course, the Royal Flush Gang.
Booster will be back in the saddle again sooner or later. He could do much worse than the likes of Booster Gold #28.
