ISSUE REVIEW

Boosterrific Review: A better issue than the last, this comic is chock full of activity and revelations even as it struggles to address its tenuous connection to Batman: the Return of Bruce Wayne. The events of this issue are told in a style similar to that used by Jurgens during his tenure writing Superman stories 20 years ago. Several subplots, happening nearly simultaneously (if that is the right word for time travel stories), dovetail fluidly, increasing the tension and allowing each story to develop at its own pace. The Timer Masters' trip to the dawn of the Atomic Age may seem like a sidetrack even for a mini-series about sidetracks, but the one-and-done nature of the trip is refreshing after several issues of prolonged swords-and-sorcery tales. Still, it is the story of the Black Beetle's adventures that are the most intriguing in this series, and the hope his story this will one day play a larger role in the adventures of Booster Gold and the DC Universe is more than enough reason to keep reading.

Continued enjoyment of this series. Now that I appreciate it as a precursor to Flashpoint, even my lingering complaints about it not be connected to the search for Batman are gone.

Currently 4.0/5 Stars.

There's a little art mistake in the splash page, (when all the heroes are in the vortex), in the costume of Starfire, her left leg should not be visible, her costume cover that leg.

Currently 4.0/5 Stars.

I love this series if for no other reason than the revelations of old-Booster's relationship to young-Rip, and I can't help thinking that this should be the storyline playing out in Booster Gold, hell the time traveling team of time masters might help boost sales of Booster Gold. and in the end, isn't a self sustaining Booster-centric book the goal?

Currently 4.0/5 Stars.

Jurgens has some interesting plots brewing with Rips' past, who the current Supernova is (the hints might answer a question raised above) and what Black Beetle is trying to do. I am a little confused with it saying Waverider was killed when the 52 was created given his death in the max-series. My favorite Booster read of the month.
