New Release: Generation Lost TPB Vol 2
The collected second-half of the very entertaining Justice League: Generation Lost series (issues #13 through #24) will be released today in a $39.99 hardcover edition. No doubt you already have the entire collection of single issues, but this is your chance to own them all again in a hardcover edition that will look far better on your bookself than those individually stapled periodicals.
But that's not all! Booster also appears in this week's Absolute Identity Crisis collecting the 2004 Identity Crisis mini-series and Birds of Prey: The Death of Oracle collecting issues #7-#13 of the second volume of Birds of Prey. That's a lot of Booster Gold cameos!
Buy them or not; Skeets is already quite busy handling things in the Booster Cave.

Booster Gold Versus Team Titans
Just for kicks, I thought that I'd compare the sales for Booster Gold's three 2010 series: Booster Gold, Justice League: Generation Lost, and Time Masters: Vanishing Point. While I knew what the the sales numbers were, it's kind of surprising to see them stacked against each other.
Booster Gold was the only ongoing series of the three and was also consistently the worst seller of the bunch. Time Masters did only marginally better, despite featuring Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, three of DC's biggest sellers on a monthly basis. The best seller was a book comprised primarily of characters who have repeatedly proven themselves incapable of sustaining enough fan interest to maintain individual series.
I know that there were more factors at play than just characters (cost, tie-in, promotion, creative teams, etc.), but it would seem that the ensemble cast approach really works.

The Strange Family History of Maxwell Lord
Readers were introduced to Maxwell Lord's father as part of a retelling of Max's history in last week's issue of Justice League: Generation Lost #20. Also in the issue were scenes featuring Maxwell Lord's mother. While the story was well written and very enjoyable, a few problems become apparent when this new story is compared with earlier tales of Maxwell Lord's family. Namely, both of Max Lord's parents previously had different names. Max's mother -- named Naomi, not Rebecca -- even appeared in an issue of Booster Gold published as recently as November!
Now these little discrepancies can be explained away by a thoughtful writer, but they add to a troubling list of continuity inconsistencies surrounding Justice League: Generation Lost. Is this series rewriting DC history as it goes? Should the continuity changes that it presents be ignored? Historically, continuity changes that last tend to be tied directly to the popularity of the continuity-changing issue/series. Therefore it is likely that the answer to these questions lies in the readers' hands: do we like and are we willing to accept the continuity changes of Generation Lost once this series is over? Only time will tell.

Generation Lost Versus Amos Fortune
The numbers are in for 2010, and I was a bit surprised by this:
The title is selling great, and should be considered a sales success, even if it is only selling half as many copies as it's sister title, Brightest Day. (That's to be expected, especially since Brightest Day doesn't say Generation Lost on the cover.) I'm just surprised that the sales drop on a limited series like this has been a straight line for most of a year, that's all.
Before you ask, issue 7 spiked sales because the 1:10 alternate cover was part of the "White Lantern" Sistene Chapel montage by Ryan Sook. Issue 7 was also the first Keith Giffen-less issue of the series, but I doubt that drove many new sales.
