Well at least we now know where the writing on Rip's blackboard came from - That has bugged me for a while. I don't think we'll ever find out about the Black Beetle.

Eyz posted on Aug. 10, 2011 at 12:37 PM
So this is it...the end already...<br />:(<br /><br />Speaking of Black Beetle...the same could be said for that random Red Beetle! Man, this is gonna bug me for the next few years.. (or until I become a DC writer/artist :P Ha!)

I've asked Dan about the Black Beetle in the past, and he indicated that he may reuse the character in the new universe, and that if he decides against it I may be able to persuade him to come clean. Maybe on the podcast...?

I was underwhelmed by the issue. I suppose skeets is gone, how do we know?<br /><br />Did Booster accomplish anything?

Kevin posted on Aug. 10, 2011 at 11:51 PM
Skeets is fine. Did you miss the fact that Booster had the backpack with him in it? Also, the fact Booster remembers the Vanishing Point (as he did not say "Where am I?" at all and it was clear he knew where he was) makes it clear that the events of his book are still canon.

That's bad logic, Kevin. Booster's recognition of Vanishing Point means that Booster recognizes Vanishing Point, nothing more or less. It does imply that many familiar elements will remain unchanged, but it is hardly comprehensive evidence of a static universe. I agree that Skeets will probably be fine, and most of his continuity will be intact. However, the existence of Vanishing Point and Booster's familiarity of it in and of itself reveals nothing except the fact that Booster is likely unaware of whatever changes the timeline may have experienced.

...I am not going to argue with you Walter. It was clear to me what the ending was and what it meant. You have your opinion. We will see in JLI, but I am telling you, don't be surprised when it is revealed that Booster Gold Vol 2 is in canon for the new 52.

It's fine with me that you believe that nothing has changed, Kevin. As I said, I generally agree with your assessment. I was just saying that you shouldn't confuse what you see on panel with whatever you have learned outside of the book, either extrinsically or intrinsically. The book itself as published is inconclusive.

If I am missing something explicitly appearing in the book from which a rational deduction regarding Booster's future can be made, I invite anyone to bring it to my attention.

Personally, I found this ending unsatisfying.

I wonder if this means Skeets will be reconfigured into a headset like he was in Smallville?<br /><br />Is Booster no longer the Greatest Hero the World will never know since he'll publicly be leading the JLI?<br /><br />I still think Rip Hunter will be missing for a while and will return as a villain(to the DCnU)/anti-hero or hero(for those against the DCnU) as he'll want to restore the timeline since his goal and mission was always to preserve it. Rip ultimately failed big time, then.

Volume 2 ending was a huge letdown. And it pretty much indicates the end of Buster. <br /><br /> I mean we see some gibberish at the beginning, we also witness how Booster discards it. And in the end of the volume we learn that it's Booster who leaves all that gibberish for himself, only to be discarded.<br /><br /> And while Rip noticed something was off, he couldn't do a thing about it, since we all knew the connection between the two of them. So in the end, no Booster-no Rip Hunter.<br /><br /> Of course there's a slim chance that Future Booster could have a better luck, if he was still wearing Supernova suit, and would be, probably helping out behind the scenes, somehow. However volume 2 ending showed clear that Booster is getting discarded unless ratings have something to say about it.

You mean "New Releases: Booster Gold #46" right?

Eyz posted on Jul. 13, 2011 at 11:46 AM
And so, the end of the series approach....sigh...<br /><br />(I'll have to wait for the TPB, so..)

I sure did. Thanks, thumbster.

Hate to do this to my favourite blogger, but 'The DC solicitation text for today's Booster Gold #48 is unusually vague.' should have the number 45, not 48. Sorry my friend xD

what is this?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on May. 27, 2011 at 11:15 PM
This? Do you mean the JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL VOLUME 6 collection? It's a book collecting JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #31-#35 and JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #7-#11(published in 1990).

Or did you mean this, the mock advertisement for Club JLI? It was the opening splash page for JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA #34, telling the story of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle's ill-fated (and criminally-funded) casino.

Eyz posted on May. 30, 2011 at 5:29 AM
Love this pic^^<br /><br />Whatever happened to these Club JLI, after those JLI-era comics?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on May. 30, 2011 at 5:19 PM
Club JLI was physically destroyed when KooeyKooeyKooey moved. The next time KooeyKooeyKooey was seen, there was no sign of any modern structures. Since it was built with stolen United Nations funds, I'm sure that the U.N. (via Max Lord) repossessed whatever assets were salvageable.

does anybody know if this JLI volumes will continue to print the old comics up to issue 113?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Aug. 2, 2011 at 8:34 PM
That's up to DC, alvin, and I suspect that they make their decision based on sales numbers. I don't know that there is much demand for the later issues (especially the last 2 years, when JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE and EXTEREME JUSTICE were also in publication). Even if they do, it will take years.

Shawn posted on May. 18, 2011 at 11:23 AM
I don't know how happy Skeets will be after this issue, gonna see Jurgens this weekend at MCBA Springcon, anyone have any questions for him?

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on May. 19, 2011 at 12:21 AM
Well, Skeets definitely won't be happy if no one is around to witness his unhappiness.

Dan is clearly a big fan of even some of the more obscure DC characters. (Last time we saw Dan write him in his own book, Booster battled Skull, and now he meets the Sea Devils!) I begin to wonder if there are any other relatively obscure DC properties he would like to have interacting with Booster Gold that the hasn't been able to use yet (through editorial interference or not having the right story or whatever). When do we get Booster Gold and the Atomic Knights or Robby Reed or (please, oh, please) Captain Carrot?

Eyz posted on May. 19, 2011 at 6:06 AM
Booster needs *suspense* to fight some of Ted Kord's obscure rogue gallery!<br />Seriously, think about it. Jurgens playing around with fun obscure characters? Plus character tied to Booster's best friend? It could be great!

Erin posted on May. 20, 2011 at 6:59 PM
And Booster apparently sold out! Woo!<br /><br />http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/05/20/booster-gold-44-back-to-press/
