Dan Jurgens Hates Cowards
A few days ago, Booster Gold creator Dan Jurgens made a pretty strong statement on Twitter.
The inspiration for Jurgens' comment was Booster booster Keith Callbeck's post of Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family mash-up cover of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle running from the Hulk. Pearsall's inspiration was the opening splash page of Booster Gold, Volume 2, #34, drawn by Chris Batista in 2010. Specifically, it is this panel by Batista that Jurgens takes issue with:
It's easy to understand Jurgens' dissatisfaction with Batista's choice of poses and expressions. That panel has gained some traction on the Internet in recent years. You may have seen it copied by Blue and Gold cosplayers. Howard Porter's 2015 cover for Justice League 3000 #12 saw a similar scene of the panicked pair.
That wasn't always their reaction to trouble. In their Justice League International heyday, Beetle and Booster were chased by mobs of angry citizens, vampires, middle-eastern dictators, runaway islands, demons, and countless super villains. Yet Kevin Maguire, the artist most associated with the Blue and Gold pairing, never showed Blue and Gold turning tail in fear.
So what's the right way to depict Blue Beetle and Booster Gold running for their lives? Here's Dan Jurgens' take on the scenario in Booster Gold, Volume 2, #7 (2008):
Ok, so maybe Beetle is still scared. But look at Booster. What a hero!

Re-Reading Super-Team Family Presents
Ross Pearsall specializes in the kinds of mash-ups that DC and Marvel have turned into their summer crossover events. Try and tell me you wouldn't buy this comic:
Can you spot Booster Gold in this line-up?
The real House of Ideas belongs to Pearsall, creator of the Super-Team Family comics. Visit his website where you'll find new issues of Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues every day.

Build It and They Will Come
Blue and Gold are turning up everywhere these days!
Another Booster Gold team-up cover from Ross Pearsall? Yes, please.
I'm sure that sentinels wouldn't be any trouble for our favorite sci-fi, tech-based Justice Leaguers. Besides not being mutants, either one of our heroes is clever enough to reprogram some silly evil robots. Unless they had somehow corrupted Skeets.... Nah, that'll never happen.

The Team-Up No One Asked For But We Still Love
Booster Gold hasn't made too many cover appearances lately. That's something that Ross Pearsall is aiming to correct.
Dazzler? An inspired choice! It even Booster Gold-creator Dan Jurgens' attention. He called it "a great idea" on the SuperTeamFamilyTheLostIssues Facebook page. No word yet on what Dazzler's committee of creators (including a murderer's row of Jim Shooter, Tom DeFalco, Roger Stern, and John Romita, Jr.) think about the pairing.
I'm certain that this is the first time I've mentioned Dazzler on this site, but I'd gladly buy a Booster Gold/Cloak & Dagger crossover if that's what it took to get Booster into the Marvel Universe.
I've showcased plenty of Ross Pearsall's previous Booster Gold team-ups, but you'll find even more amazing covers at his site, Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues daily.

X-Factoring in Booster Gold
The X-Men are no strangers to time travel. It's about time that Booster Gold called them out for their transgressions.
Ross Pearsall's Super-Team Family is the only comic around featuring Booster Gold on its covers. You'll find I've showcased plenty of his previous Booster Gold team-ups, but his site at Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues continues to stock new and unique covers daily.
