We've spent a lot of time with the Smallville version of Booster Gold this week, so let's give some equal time to a very comic-bookish version by artist/humorist Fred Hembeck.

This black and white sketch of 32 select Justice Leaguer members can be seen in greater detail on his site at hembeck.com. Act now and you can find it available for purchase via eBay.com -- auction ending today!

Hembeck and his unique style are probably best known for the Dateline: @!!?# strips, though Hembeck also can take credit for destroying the entire Marvel Universe. He hasn't drawn a lot of Booster Gold, but it's good to see that Hembeck's Booster is still rocking that high collar.

Remember, no matter where you find him or how he's dressed, Boosterrific.com is your place for all things Booster Gold!

Justice League: Generation Lost #22 is scheduled to hit stands today, with Power Girl, Batman, and one other "former-JLI member" joining the fight against Max Lord. This aspect of the story is covered in Vaneta Rogers' interview with Judd Winick over at Newsarama.com (part 1 and part 2). (It's a worthwhile read, but tread carefully, readers, there may be some spoiler-ish material over there.) Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.

Booster Gold #42 and Justice League: Generation Lost #21 are scheduled to hit stands today. February may be the shortest month, but that doesn't explain why we are getting a new issue of Booster Gold only 3 weeks since the last issue -- not that I'm complaining! Buy them both and make Skeets happy.

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.
