Dan Jurgens spoke to Josie Campbell of ComicBookResources.com, and he had a lot to say about Booster Gold's role in Futures End and beyond (and before).

CBR: In the "Futures End" weekly, we've got Terry McGinnis time traveling; as Booster Gold is also a time traveler, how much of what happens in "Futures End" going to impact your "Booster Gold: Futures End" one-shot?

Jurgens: Quite a lot, actually, and I think you have to step back a little farther than that in terms of the question. The last time we've seen Booster Gold [in the present] was in the Justice League International" annual of 2012. Since then, [other than his appearance in "All Star Western"] we haven't seen Booster until we saw him at that point. We're going to finally start to find out, was he taken? Did he just slip out of existence? Or did he go someplace else? This starts to deal with all that. It goes back to that point. We pick up on that, and we start to answer some of those questions, as well as how it relates to "Futures End." And then, as I said earlier, where does it go from there? It's definitely plugging in, in that very wide-scope kind of way.

Yep, I will definitely be buying 2 copies of Booster Gold: Futures End in September.

CBR: Is there a chance readers will see more Booster Gold coming up, either in "Aquaman And The Others" or perhaps in a solo book once again?

Jurgens: Yeah, I think there's a good chance. [Laughs]

Finally a new Booster Gold series? Yeah, I'd buy two of that, too!

He brought you Agent Liberty, Risk, Waverider, Doomsday, and Cyborg Superman. But most importantly, he's the creator of Skeets and someone called Booster Gold. Who else could it be but Dan Jurgens?

Jurgens celebrates his 55th birthday today, and he'll no doubt be celebrating by slaving away at the drawing board for future issues of Futures End or maybe pages of September's Booster Gold one-shot. But you can celebrate by bidding on some of Jurgens' old work, specifically this poster from his run on Justice League:

That rare poster from 1992, drawn by Dan Jurgens and inked by Rick Burnett, is currently listed for sale on eBay.com. The auction ends Tuesday, so act fast. You don't want to have to wait another few decades before you get another shot at it.

Thanks for all the hard work over the years, Dan! Here's to 55 more.

John Babos recently interviewed Dan Jurgens for Comics Nexus. Jurgens has been busy lately and has a lot to say about Aquaman and Futures End. However, Boosterrific.com is a Booster Gold fansite, so let's cut to the chase:

Comics Nexus - Any chance we'll see Rip Hunter and any of the gang from your most recent Booster Gold series somewhen soon?

Dan Jurgens - [Booster Gold: Futures End] is all about Booster at this point. Time to let the readers know what he's been up to!

Depending on how you feel about Booster's supporting cast, that's either good news or bad news. I know Skeets isn't too happy about it.

If you're not afraid of a few spoilers, you can read the rest of the interview (both Part 1 and Part 2) at InsidePulse.com.

DC released the Dan Jurgens/Norm Rapmund cover art for Booster Gold: Futures End #1 late last week. And it..., well, see for yourself:

I'm a big fan of Jurgens' art, but I have to say that this isn't his best work. Was this piece rushed? The foreshortening on Booster's forearms in the "before" panel is especially unpleasant. (Look at the "stripes" on the biceps and forearms and try to imagine what they would look like if Booster was holding his arms out straight.) I understand that the 3D covers are created from layers, and maybe they arms will look better in the finished 3D piece. However, they just don't come together well here.

What I hate about that second panel isn't Jurgens' fault. (Although note that Booster's hair is parted on the opposite side. Was that intentional?) That A.R.G.U.S. armor is really not awesome. As has been mentioned before, it looks a lot like Booster's mid-1990s power suits. Those bulky costumes were supposed to look awkward and awful as part of their stories. Is that the case here? I hope that someone at DC hasn't become nostalgic for those old stinkers.

Russ Burlingame scoured these images for what they might tell us about what we'll see between the covers this September. You can read his analysis at ComicBook.com.

Friday, DC released the art teams for September's Futures End month of one-shots. Booster Gold: Futures End #1 will be looking pretty good.

BOOSTER GOLD: FUTURES END #1
Writer: Dan Jurgens
Artist: Moritat, Steve Lightle, Stephen Thompson, Mark Irwin, Ron Frenz, Brett Booth, Will Conrad
Cover: Dan Jurgens, Norm Rapmund

That's right, Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund are back together on the lenticular cover. DC has already started rolling out previews of the covers for the first two weeks of the event, so we should be seeing the week 4 Booster Gold cover sooner rather than later. September can't get here soon enough!

You can find a full list of creative teams for the Futures End one-shots at dccomics.com.
