I would go with mistake like how he was drawn in Stormwatch and seeing how Future Booster in the JLI ann. appears in new 52 gear. But I hope the mistakes can lead other artists back to his original costume. Example look at the practically armored Superman in his issue #1 to what is drawn now. I guess we can hope that Jurgens gets to draw him in Futures' End. He has personally told me he does not like the new costume.

I've always taken the end of Flashpoint to mean that booster was being restored to pre-flashpoint with the knowledge of the previous universe. He only changed because his suit was damaged, and if Rip was working on correcting something in the timeline it could have reset Booster and would explain why he disappeared.

I'd like to believe the artist was trying to bring the "real" Booster back and passed it off as a goof/error to his editor(s).

Hopefully "error" forces them to bring the previous look back.

There are three main reasons I think it's no mistake, and here's they are:
1) Booster recently showed up in the tile, and even if it was a different artist, you'd think the book editor or even the writer could catch something like that. Seems pretty darn difficult to pull that kind of "mistake" off.
2) The very last time we saw Booster in ASW, for a split second he reverts to his pre-Flashpoint suit. It's quick but you can clearly see the headpiece and gloves change.
3) He can easily time travel at will now! Clearly something huge has changed with Booster.

Yes, it was - and yes, I do.
3 pages is cutting it pretty close though... I haven't read it yet, but it better be good!
1 panel is not enough for my money though.

Booster used as a deux ex machina-gimmick to bring All-Star Western back to, well, being a western...

How far are we from the days of the JLI or Booster's 2nd on-going series... sigh..

@Xylob: Booster's part is pretty good. I'm not sure it's $4 good, but that's why I'm asking today's question.

All-Star Western is a great serie, and not just because Booster appears in it. So I would buy this issue anyway, but it was very good to see him in a good shape like this !

Nice to see Booster again, though the artist and colorist can't seem to make up their mind on his look. I'd like to think that his mostly old look is here to stay, but I'm sure it's artist error.

His new ability to send people through time by will it seems is odd. Maybe Booster's recent time travels have yet re-aligned his personal history?

He definitely seems much more clear of mind than his last appearance, so I suppose it's possible

It seems hard to conceive that even as messed up as DC editorial is these days, they'd let a mistake like that slide through when the New 52 costume was last seen 8 issues ago in this very series. That's ample time to get back issues for visual reference.

I say look at the way the second half of the issue was drawn: that art is diametrically opposed to Jim Lee's filigree lines (my biggest argument against the over-complication of all New 52 costumes is that they look only like something Jim Lee could draw). No, I chose to believe that this was done intentionally, to call back to Booster's role as Time Cop and differentiate the character from his amnesic state seen in his last appearance.
