Hey! It wasn't Booster's fault/mistake and you know it.

What, you think I'm going to blame Skeets?

Sir! I would just like to point out there's been a serious lack of myself on your frontpage news!

"What, you think I'm going to blame Skeets?"<br /><br /> Why would anyone want blame Skeets?! We all know it's all Mister Mind's fault.

Booster Gold pantyhose anyone?

A Joe Namath reference, Grimmy? As I recall, he also endorsed a night club that became quite the brouhaha as well. Perhaps quarterbacks should stick to endorsing Isotoner Gloves and Oreo Cookies.

We didn't come lookin for trouble, we're just here to do the Booster Gold shuffle

*sob* I need Skeets. There is no future without Skeets. That's it, total DC boycott till we get a Skeets limited series.

I want to point out that, despite all that has happened, Skeets is the tipping point. It the bird on the car that's balancing on the cliff. No Skeets=the car falling to its death.

Boosterific, you've also forgot to mention that DC screwed over Black Beetle with their new Blue Beetle, where they blatantly revealed the identity of Back Beetle.

It's fate, I don't think Skeets has ever actually appeared in an issue of Justice League. Boosterrific would know better than I, if that's true. Maybe it's just not meant to be, JLI and Skeets, never the twain shall meet :(

Grimmy, I remember Skeets appeared in Justice League when Dan Jurgens was writing it after Giffen and DeMatteis left.

You're probably right MW, Thanks.<br /><br />My memory of comics in the 90's is a little blurry, probly too much LDS at Berkeley

Arrgghhh!! Why, DC, Why??

Yes, Skeets made several Justice League appearances, first showing up in JLA 71 (by Dan Jurgens) after Booster lost his first power suit. He was around a few times after that, eventually being a semi-regular character in EXTREME JUSTICE.

By this point, the best way to rectify all this is by bringing back the pre-New 52 DCU. :/<br />Oh, and they can keep this new Superman around by simply titling it "Ultimate Superman" or something~

Martin Gray posted on May. 26, 2012 at 4:33 PM
Aw phooey, I love Skeets. Except when he's evil.

Grimmy posted on May. 17, 2012 at 10:55 AM
Believe it or not, I'm hopeful. As old as I am, I'm not opposed to change, only continuous chaos. Which is the vibe I've been getting from DC lately (last year or so). I don't know if this is the first step in getting Booster back on track, but after this mediocre series, anything (tv series in the works) has got to be better. right? :/

deusex2 posted on May. 17, 2012 at 12:54 PM
Of course you're right! And I completely agree with you, good sir! ANYTHING...well, almost ANYTHING is better than "New 52". Don't get me wrong, it did brought some good titles, but sadly there were too few to justify the sacrifice of countless good titles. Not to mention Booster's own series.<br /><br /> As for the poll, I'd go with relief and terror. I'm glad that DC's twisted abuse of JLI and Booster's personal time is coming to an end(because the series were beginning to go downhill fast with the arrival of Nightwing, and the death of Gavril). <br /><br /> But I'm also terrified that it might be the last time for us to see Booster in action within "New52", as well as I'm terrified that it might actually be for the best, all things considered.

MetalWoman posted on May. 16, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Quick, evacuate all cats within a one mile radius of Skeets! At least now we know what happened to Jack and Jill.

Grimmy posted on May. 17, 2012 at 11:04 AM
And so Justice League International joins the ranks of Cancelled Comics Cavalcade.<br /><br />Just breath Boosterrific, just breath...

DC's New 52 sure is saving me a lot of money... I'm not buying anywhere near as many comics as I was before Flashpoint - I struggle to undersand their business model.

deusex2 posted on May. 15, 2012 at 1:02 PM
As mush as I hesitate to admit, but JLI series are going downhill with every new issue, so maybe it is for the best. Although the thought of the whole JLI issue being dedicated to Nightwing's arc, it's kinda lame.<br /><br /> On the other hand, I can't wait for JLI Annual. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Teen Titans Annual.

deusex2 posted on May. 15, 2012 at 1:16 PM
Oh, their business model is easy!<br /><br /> It's called,"Sucker in more people by rebooting their favorite series and thus force them to buy more comics."<br /><br /> Seriously though, the whole reboot made them plenty of money because it got people curious and it allowed "fresh blood" to start reading comics from the start...Too bad they aren't going anywhere with it.<br /><br /> I'm sensing yet another reboot next year or so.

Xylob posted on May. 15, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Sure, you have to bring in fresh meat, but you have to do it in a way that doesn't alienate your existing customer base and what's the point of piquing potential new customer's inerests if you can't keep 'em hooked AND you run off all your existing customers?

deusex2 posted on May. 15, 2012 at 6:43 PM
Hey, I don't like what they're doing either. I've just said that the whole point of Flashpoint+Reboot was to make a quick buck, that was all.<br /><br /> And yeah, I completely agree with you on the whole alienation remark and the fact that DC is losing regular customers well, on most of their comics sales anyway.<br /><br /> Which was why I joked about yet another reboot. I just can't imagine DC going on like that for a long period of time, I mean they keep losing our money and they keep cancelling series on top of that. Some are even pretty decent!

Grimmy posted on May. 17, 2012 at 10:41 AM
I imagine that a lot of old DC readers quit reading back in 85' because of CrisisonInfiniteEarths. <br /><br />The difference between CoIE and FlashpointNew52, is that back then DC was in serious trouble, sales were really bad and the books were mired in 45+ years of silly and confusing history. By doing CoIE DC was able to give the creators a clean slate to work on and the old characters a (reasonably) fresh start (not to mention the creation of Booster Gold). <br /><br />On the other hand, FlashpointNew52 just feels like "yet another pointless grab for more money" timed to coincide with DC's comics going digital. ho-hum<br /><br />In so many ways the New52 concept reminds me of Marvel's failed "New Universe" or the year (that I wish I could forget) when Image took over Marvel's titles. hmmm, Jim Lee was involved in that one too...
