Russ Burlingame's latest "Gold Exchange" interview with J.M. DeMatteis over Booster Gold #35 is up at Newsarama.com. If there is anything that writers don't like to talk about, it's the future. Jurgens has always been that way, and it is clear in this column that DeMatteis is the same. It's their right to tease us into buying their work, but it sure makes for some frustrating interviews.

I thought it odd that Burlingame would even question DeMatteis on his rationale for choosing Mister Miracle and Big Barda as guests in Booster Gold. After all, DeMatteis was the original scribe for the second volume of Mister Miracle as a spin-off of Justice League. Besides, Miracle and Barda still have a lot of fans and, in their current deceased state, very few comic book appearances these days. But I do appreciate Burlingame for being thorough, and I'm always glad to read his latest column.

By the way, Burlingame is soliciting YOUR opinion regarding Giffen & DeMatteis' controversial change of tone for Booster Gold. If you have something to say about either the tragedy of G/D sullying Geoff Johns' Booster Gold renaissance or the slapstick pie that G&D have thrown in the face of an otherwise stoic DC Universe, head over to this link here to find Burlingame's email address and send him a piece of your mind. (Not literally, please. That's gross.)
