Gold Exchange: Booster Gold #44
Russ Burlingame's latest "Gold Exchange" column with Dan Jurgens has been posted on Comic Related.com. Among other issues, this month's column insightfully has Jurgens comparing and contrasting the current Flashpoint event with Jurgen's own Tangent line of a decade ago.
GX: In a very general way, what separates Flashpoint from something like Tangent? The creative approach seems to be the same (lots and lots of people working on a universe "led" by a couple of guys) and obviously we've got the "similar-but-not-the-same superheroes" thing. What's the big thing that should make us go "Damn!" and think that, continuity-wise, this is more of a rat's nest than when Kyle Rayner got stuck in the Tangent Universe for a while?
DJ: Tangent was structured around the idea of taking the names of DC characters and completely turning them around, upside down and inside out, in a very different universe. Flashpoint is very much about a timeline that differs from the normal DCU because of altered elements.
A word of warning: before you head over to read the rest of the interview, be sure to read Booster Gold #44. There are definitely spoilers in this week's "Gold Exchange."
