If you missed them the first time around, Booster Gold and the now-defunct Justice League International's appearances in The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men issues #9 and #10 will be collected in today's The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men Volume 2: The Firestorm Protocols.

To be clear, The Firestorm Protocols collects issues #7 through #12 and #0 of the series and contains none of Dan Jurgens' work on the title. This volume represents the second half of Ethan Van Sciver's year on the series. Van Sciver's art was well received, but his story not so much.

Come to think of it, it has been about a year since these issues were published, and already Jurgens' New 52 reinterpretation of the JLI and Van Sciver's New 52 reinterpretation Firestorm have already been largely forgotten. Firestorm looks and acts much like his pre-Flashpoint self as a member of the Justice League, and Booster is rumored to be returning to his own title again.

It's beginning to feel like old times again at DC!

This week DC releases the hardcover collection of all 52 first issues of their so-called "New 52" series. This collection will include a reprint of Justice League International, Volume 3, #1, the first appearance of Booster Gold in the DCnU.

If you had bought every issue of the New 52 back in September (and many, many people did), it would have cost you $105. This collection will cost $150. Presumably the collection will include some bonus content as well as hard covers, which means that you won't have to store it in Mylar to keep it pristine on your coffee table. That's got to be worth something, right?
