Call Dad
Earlier this month, Erin commented on a panel from Time Masters #2 (1990) that has in retrospect become something of an Easter Egg. The observation was so amusing, that I thought I'd bring it to the attention of a larger audience. That panel contains the following note tacked on a bulletin board behind Rip Hunter:
Of course what makes the note so amusing is that in the panel, Rip Hunter happens to be on the telephone with Booster Gold.
Two decades would pass before Hunter was revealed to be Booster's son in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #1,000,000. As Erin said, "See, he's always known about future events before readers." Now that's some retroactive continuity I can get behind! Everyone remember to call your dad and wish him a Happy Father's Day this weekend. (And thanks for bringing this to our attention, Erin!)

Blogging for Booster
This weekend I found two posts by bloggers who note Booster Gold's growing importance to the DC Universe. The first is by erin_starlight, who makes the case that Booster Gold is the leader of the reassembled JLI. The second is by Keith Davis, who has counted Booster appearances in June and concluded that the only character more relevant to current DC publications is Batman. Here's to unscientific studies that support the greatness of Booster Gold!

Kids in Microwaves?
The ink is barely dry on the first issue, and already people have made up their minds about Giffen's & DeMatteis' work on Booster Gold. Many think the humor is forced or over-the-top. Some think the setting is too dark. Others worry about the effect of overexposure from Generation Lost. And some people are already concerned about the fate of the new supporting cast, specifically the future of young Rani. Take a read of erin_starlight's Livejournal and see what you think. There are some valid point in there.
