Today DC releases Doom Patrol #22, Freedom Fighters #9, and JSA All-Stars #18, all final issues. Doom Patrol and Freedom Fighters -- as well as DC's two other May cancellations, Outsiders and R.E.B.E.L.S. -- had been selling far, far worse than Booster Gold. However, JSA All-Stars was selling marginally better and was probably canceled not for poor sales but to free resources to publish a Flashpoint tie-in or two. Can Booster Gold pick up any of the readers who are now without a series? Skeets sure hopes so.

Here comes the big finish! The final issue! The long-awaited battle between Booster Gold and Maxwell Lord! Justice League: Generation Lost #24 is scheduled to hit stands today (alongside Brightest Day #24), wrapping up the year-long mega-series. At 48 pages, it's 50% longer than the previous 23 issues, but at $4.99, it's also 66% more expensive. At least that's still cheaper than a gallon of gas! Buy it and make Skeets happy.

Big week this week as Booster Gold #43 and Justice League: Generation Lost #23 are scheduled to hit stands today. This is the penultimate issue of Generation Lost. After the big reveal in last week's Brightest Day #23, what could be in store for the JLI as they head into "the most awesome fight in comic book history"?

But that's not all! Also due out today is the latest Booster Gold collection, Past Imperfect. This issue collects the first six issues by the creative team of Giffen/DeMatteis/Batista/Perotta. That's pretty good timing, seeing that today's Booster Gold #43 is the last issue created by the Giffen/DeMatteis/Batista/Perotta creative team. (Booster Gold-creator Dan Jurgens makes his return next issue!)

Buy all of them and make Skeets happy.

With Justice League: Generation Lost #22 released 2 weeks ago, you might have expected to see #23 this week. But you won't. Justice League: Generation Lost #23 won't ship until next week. This is not the first 3-week gap between issues, but with only 2 issues to go, it should be the last.

This week the only Booster Gold you're likely to see is in the Time Masters: Vanishing Point collected trade. If you passed on individual Time Masters issues waiting on the trade, now's your chance. And you're in luck: the trade is advertised at $14.99. If you bought the 6 individual issues, you spent $23.94 for 138 pages of story (including covers, excluding variant covers). Considering that the trade is advertised at 144 pages, it appears that good things do come to those who wait. Buy it and make Skeets happy.

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.
